rare flash player bug

[eigenface]

In the 6.03 version of OverwriteManager, you've removed a return statement from a while loop in favor of breaking out of the while loop before returning, blaming an extremely rare bug in flash player which sometimes throws and error. I put return statements inside while loops all the time! Would you mind cluing me in as to what to the extremely rare circumstances are? I don't want to run afoul of this flash player bug.

Yeah, it's very, very rare and if my memory serves correctly, it only occurs when you compile your swf from a particular version of Flash. It'll spit out a VerifyError #1068 saying that two objects in the "while" loop cannot be reconciled. Huh? I know, weird. In all the years of having TweenLite out there, only one developer has ever reported this behavior (and of course I worked around it right away, posting the new version).

Thanks. I guess I don't have to worry about it unless I compile from that particular (old?) version of flash. Did it happen when compiling for a particular version of flash player, or compiling from a particular version of the flash authoring tool?

I could never reproduce it myself and I can't remember what version of Flash the user was compiling with but the update to OverwriteManager fixed it for him.
