found that quote on the big wck thread, didn't see a reply to it.

i have run into this error lately as well. at first i created a fresh fla and pasted the game back into it. and it fixed it. but now that its on the server its back, only my tests show it every time.

the error happens for me as soon as the game gotoAndStop's on a level.


also if your testers are just running the swf/html then "The Jon" is you, file locations in errors are based on the File locations of whom ever published the fla.
not that it's relevant, could save you from chasing your tail a bit though i guess.

i hope mayobutter might have some insight on what could cause this.

looks like b2Base initialize() is as close as flash gets to the error:

i put traces in the function like so.


locally (which doesn't give me the error) i got:
initialize
initialized: false
loader: [object CLibInit]
lib: [object Object]
mem: [object MemUser]
bytes:
defs: true
b2Def: [class b2Def]

on the server i get:
initialize
initialized: false
loader: [object CLibInit]
*INSERT ERROR HERE*


so the error happens some where in lib = loader.init();
i will start looking into that assuming its actionscript and not c++

loader is an instance of CLibInit which i don't see in the WCK folders, please advise.

narrowing it down, it only happens for me when wrapped in html currently
in fact i just tried the auto publish html and it's fine, so something in my clients html breaks it.

that makes it a wck/alchemy error caused by an html error..... ??
oh well

if i find something specific about the html that causes the problem i will post it, but im not really an html person. perhaps its wrapping it in another swf.

looks like my cs4 game is being loaded by a cs5 swf

i tried publishing my game in cs5, it has an error w/o output or compile error.
i will restart my system to see the error, i have a feeling it has to do with World being part of cs5. although i thought i grabbed the lasted WCK from getHub....

last time i said WCK didn't work well with CS5 mayobutter said i was using a really old version.
my current practice is to grab the latest version from gethub
https://github.com/jesses/wck/archives/master

if thats not the latest version, do i need to keep its SVN up to date to make sure i have the latest version?

CLibInit is defined in the Box2D.swc. If you want to learn more check out the alchemy docs. It's how you setup everything in the C++ realm.

Ha, I never even noticed that download button. I've always used git to checkout / checkin. The download link is the latest version though. What I had to do to get everything CS5 compatible is check every "World" reference to "wck.World". You may still have references to just plain "World" in your own code, but that would result in a compile time error.

the shell fla must be corrupted
created a new fla in cs5, copied frames, copied library, made all publish settings identical, new fla doesn't create the glitch.

yay for cs5 corrupted files, any idea how to look at the xml or byte code behind a cs5 fla file? i've heard its possible.

Yeah, CS5 has a new format that saves everything as XML. I had to fix a project that Flash could no longer open by saving it as XML and manually fixing it.

thanks, i overlooked a publish setting.
it was set to FlashPlayer9 needed to be FlashPlayer10

save as xfl seems very helpful thanks.
