    resolved [RESOLVED] Something very odd - cache?

    Hi,

    I regularly get up the next day and find my project no longer works. Undefined properties all over the place. It's happened quite a few times now and I can't figure out why my .fla file compiles without problems before bedtime but complains in the morning when I get up! It's as if something is being cached that perhaps, by fluke, allows the .fla to compile. Am i looking for gremlins that aren't there or has anyone else noticed this anomaly?

    Never heard of such a problem before...
    Try uploading the file or something, I'm really curious...

    Thanks chaps for the replies. The save as new seemed to do the trick!

    it seems to be a problem with the CS3 IDE,- I get every 2-3 stuck- cant compile anymore or at least flash wont interpret classes anymore.
    A restart of flash helped often in my cases

    ^ That happened to me too but sadly restarting it didn't help most of the time... I had to rewrite the whole code manually because if I copy-pasted it, then it wouldn't have made any different ( wouldn't have worked ). The IDE is quite buggy, there's a thing that really is annoying: sometimes, when you test the movie then the player hides behind the panels and it's really hard to do anything with it ( restarting solves it but it's frustrating ).

    or the GUI starts flickering like crazy if you switch applications with alt+tab,- since MX2004 they seriously ****ed up the interface part
