I'm building a Flash presentation in Flash MX on a Mac G4. It's a big presentation (about 5MB). It play perfectly on the Mac G3 and G4 but when I view it on a PC running windows it will randomly stop while playing and go to the first frame of the first scene. WTF?
The fps is 31. Could that be the problem? Usually the opposite happens and the Mac can't handle the Fash, right?
Any suggestions?

and I have to export as v.4 because that's the highest version we have for the PC. This will be an exe file burnt on to CDs.

v4? that's retarded, just update to at least v5 -- noone has v4 on their computers.

can't afford Flash MX for PC.
Even though I have v.6 Player installed it only recognizes v.4, im guessing cose that's the latest version of Flash I have on the PC.

I don't understand. If you create a projector (Mac or PC) in FlashMX it should play in MX player whether the viewer has it isntalled on their machine or not. (it comes with the file)

that would make sense wouldn't it. unfortunately its not the case. not on my PC anyway.

How do you know it's playing in 4 and not MX? ALso make sure you don't screw something up and are actually creating MX projector.

sound like a compatibility issue

go to http://www.macromedia.com and download the mx demo. you only need it to make the projector right?

can you guys take a look: http://www.atdesignstudio.com/cl…
keep in mind that this will be a projector file burnt to a CD. no preloader. file size = 2.5MBs
All you Windows users please let me know if it randomly goes to the beginning while playing.

actually, don't even.
on your mac, go to your Macromedia Flash MX folder, go to the Players folder, and you see a SAFlashPlayer.exe there. Take that to your PC and make a projector using that file.
