More Flash Stuff

Hi, this is Cliff Anderson writing from my home address.

I have figured out several things regarding Flash, and will share my
discoveries:

#1 - The length of your flash movie (in frames) must match the length of
the rest of your sequence to display.  This seems obvious in retrospect,
but it wasn't obvious initially.
#2 - In order to jump to a different place in the sequence, you just
jump to a different location in the movie.  RealPlayer automagically
re-buffers and moves to the new location in the presentation.

Now, I've discovered a wonderful new problem.  There seems to be a bug
in the RealPlayer's handler for RealFlash.  If I use a sequence longer
than 1999 frames (my sequence is over 9000 frames, or about 23 minutes)
then it crashes and gives the following error:

REALPLAY caused an invalid page fault in
module SWFR3260.DLL at 0137:016423e6.

What I am going to attempt to use as the current solution to this
problem is a frame rate of 1fps.  My sequence is very static, with
minimal movement.  This should solve my problem.  However, I am hoping
that some of you guys at Real might be able to address this problem and
give me a hint into whether it is something I am doing wrong, or if it
is indeed a bug.

Arright, it's late.  I got my big presentation tommorow, and need to get
something figured out.  I'll let y'all know tommorow how the
presentation went.
