Flying Fonts Bug

We have several people who have had problems with the Flying Text Plug and Play. When they use the FLA to create a new Flying Text animation they get odd text behavior. The new animation will have odd numbered letters going one way and even number letters going the other way. It is very strange. And the solution is even stranger. Reinstalling Flash solves the problem. There seems to be some aberration in some Flash installations that creates this problem. But so far the only symptom that has been associated with this bug has been with our Flying Text Plug and Play.

If you have these problems we suggest you reinstall Flash. Not only will your Flying Text creations start to work properly, but we are pretty confident, that if you do not reinstall Flash that you are likely to have other problems. If anyone has other problems with Flash you might want to use the Flying Text Plug and Play as a test and see if it works correctly or not. Let us know if you isolate any additional symptoms associated with this problem.

In solving this problem we checked the download and the decompression. Then the FLA file that was creating the bad Flying Text was checked on other computers and perfect SWF files were created it. The problem was resolved only with a reinstallation of Flash on the affected computer.
