Can anyone help? I can't get in the chatroom, keep getting this message:

A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flashplayer 8 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script.

Also, the blue band at the top of the window says:

Flashchat v4.5.3

....... or has Sir Chris done what he tried in the past and banned me from there!!!!

Read post #27 203983 for a possible fix.

If you ignore this message, does it work?

Ageing Bat

No, have tried accepting and declining...... still nothing happens. :roll:

How fast is your computer and what operating system are you running?

Also, look here: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_15512

I've been in the chatroom all afternoon, and still am, and Ageing Bat has been obviously trying to come in, but then disappears almost as soon as her ID is listed with the time. And I have FlashChat v4.5 at the top of my page, too.

Does this help?

What happens if you click "No" three times?

Ageing Bat

04 Apr 2006, 23:50

I tried that...... the whole system freezes to the point of having to do ctrl+alt+del to get it to do anything! Then explorer shuts down too!!

Do you have any other problems with flash stuff?
Does Google Video (http://video.google.com/) work for you?
Did you hear the "Bananphone" on Saturday?

Ageing Bat

05 Apr 2006, 00:04

Didn't have my speakers on :twisted: I had been warned!! And I can't concentrate with music playing.... find myself singing along instead of surfin the net!!

Will try that. Thank R...... will report back tomorrow.

No problems with other flash stuff.

Yes, Google Video works just fine thanks!

Could you re-instate Bananaphone for a few days so I can test my system to see if it works please? :twisted:

Macromedia and the Flashchat guys mention two possible issues, CPU speed and/or connection speed.
What is your internet connection bandwidth? Is your computer by any chance a notebook? If so, does this happen when it runs on battery?

Connection test results:

Speed
947.9 kilobits per second

Communications 947.9 kilobits per second
Storage 115.7 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 8.9 seconds
Subjective rating Good

No, my little beastie isn't a notebook.

05 Apr 2006, 21:26

That's by far fast enough.

Honestly, I don't know what the problem is. Is AOL running in the background when you try to connect? If so, try to close it and see if this helps. It might be worth a try to use a different browser, eg. FireFox or to reinstall the flashplayer from here: http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

I am having the exact same trouble as Ageing Bat, The other day i was in and chatting just fine, came to log in the other day, Nothing :shock: Just would not let me access, came up with the same script as Ageing Bat....

05 Apr 2006, 23:51

Just happened to me aswell :shock: on my notebook (Thinkpad T43) while using battery (=slow cpu) and a second try on regular power (= fast cpu) worked without a problem. Just a guess, clear the browser cache, close browser and try again. :confused:

Will hopefully have some spare time this evening to have a fiddle with it.

I have seen you trying to enter. Are you using "The Bat"? If so, switch to a different style and try again.

07 Apr 2006, 23:12

Done that R. tried again, able to type but it's not appearing lol:doh:

08 Apr 2006, 00:06

Give this a try, go here (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html#117717) (Flash Control Panel) and either delete all or just the setting for mlukfc.com.
This will reset your Flash settings for the deleted websites. Then try to connect again.

Did you reset your Flash settings or is it just the new software release that helped you?

I re-set the flash settings...... did try getting in before I did that, and it wouldn't let me in
