Flash SWF not playing from popup window
I am having a problem where if an SWF is opened in a popup window from a web page, then it can sometimes fail to play. This seems to occur when the popup window is closed before the SWF is completely downloaded. I have seen it happen after opening/closing the popup window multiple times (between 10 and 20) and I have also seen it occur after just the 3rd time. This happens in Internet Explorer but not Firefox. Once the problem occurs, the parent browser window (the one containing the link that opens the SWF in a popup window) must be closed, then relaunched in order for the SWF to play correctly. I have created a test case here: http://users3.nofeehost.com/flashtest/index.html. This is a simple case that downloads/launches just one SWF. To duplicate the problem, click on the link to open the SWF, then immediately close the window. It may take between 10 and 20 times in order to duplicate. The reason that I'd like to resolve this issue is that if our users click a link to play a demo, but close the demo popup window before the SWF(s) download(s) completely, then this may prevent them from playing the same demo again or to play another demo. Any thoughts as to what might be causing this? Thanks
