Description Ishtov 2007-12-26 01:00:39 PST
If the page is stopped (reloaded, closed, or otherwise interrupted) while loading a sound into the buffer of a flash sound object, the browser will crash and close ("Safari has encoutered a problem and must close")

If the song has completed buffering, it will not crash the browser, even if it is still playing.

This has only been tested on movies compiled with Flash9, written in AS3, but it has been tested consistantly on two computers.

All but a few of the songs it has been tested with had been resampled at 48khz instead of 44.1

This may affect thousands of sites that play sound through flash.  If a user hits the back button or reloads without knowing to wait for the sound to buffer.  This behaviour is not found on IE6/7, FF.

Can you please provide a test case that we can use to reproduce and test this?

Also, please post a crash log (user.dmp file) for the crashes on Windows XP:
