Not sure if it’s just in .124, but did you know switch{} statements that are missing a break; in the case before default: make this version of the browser player enter a silent, unending loop, and fail to give any result from the switch, while the same is not true (i.e. the break; seems to be assumed) in the IDE?

So… javascript: calls with getURL are okay but ones with sendToURL are just too unusual? What about, y’know, urchinTracker calls failing all of a sudden, like the one that brought down a big site of mine today…? This (was) the recommended way of calling urchinTracker from within a Flash app. Easy patch with ExternalInterface, but not fun for thousands of users who just got the new flash player and had this site stop working.

I don’t read this blog often enough, I guess…

I’m looking for information – I’ve read all about the 124 security updates and they don’t seem to apply to my problem. The problem I’m experiencing is that none of our getUrl links work at all, period. We have no target specified and there is no javascript in the URL… it’s only 124, also. I verified this by testing on different machines and platforms – mac, pc, ie, ff, it’s all the same… movies with getUrl worked – update to 124 and now clicking no longer does anything. I can provide code samples if you like – I’ve been digging for a while and since this doesn’t apply to everyone else’s issues I thought I’d come here… any ideas?

Arrgghhhh.. This 124 version frustrates the hell out of me, and the corresponding articles about the security changes as well. We simply do not understand the changes and what to do.

Our app. has stopped working for users that use ..124

We have domain http://www.softcapital.com and has a flex application running at http://www.softcapital.com/labs/demo/radarlite.html
This application talks to a socketserver at the same IP through port 20xxx

And after 124 version we get sandbox violation, and we do not know how to write this crossdomain file.
Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Lars

So uhm,

why does 9.0.124 no longer play streamed h.264 from wowza/rubyizumi? Introduce a little TPM fun? What’s the deal?

Neat… Though I was hoping this release would address the MAJOR performance bug that 9.0.115 introduced on the Linux builds.
Once again, Adobe has left Linux out in the rain.
