Crashing with multiple players

Post by cwkalish » Tue Mar 11, 2014 3:11 am

Is there something special I need to do to have two players playing simultaneously?
I have a short .mov file in player1 and a short .mov file in player2. Executing a start player "player1" command works fine, as does starting player2

However, if I make a button that executes both of those commands, one right after the other, LC crashes ever time.

Thanks for any advice.

I'm not seeing a problem here with 2 movies and
on mouseUp
start player "player1"
start player "player2"
end mouseUp
Anything else in your scripts?

yes. That's the extent of the script. I'm attaching the stack with this message (though not the movie files).
I just tried again today and same crashing.

Tried again with different movies and now it seems to work. The original players overlapped quite a bit on the screen, maybe that was the problem.

If you find a recipe for reproducing the crash it would be great to file a bug report for it.
