Flash / IE memory error?
March 10th, 2006
Has anyone come across this error in testing their Flash applications?
The instruction at “0×01203e8d” referenced memory at “0×01203e8d”. The memory could not be “read”.

It’s been a frustrating bug to address. The actual memory address changes from time to time. I’m only able to reproduce this on a few machines at the office and it only occurs after the browser has been exited. I’ve been able to reduce the frequency of the error by re-working some sound objects that had “onComplete” handlers, but I’m still seeing this after I’ve played an FLV in the application. It seems like something that the application has done, doesn’t mesh well with IE shutting down, cleaning out the activex objects, etc, who knows.
I originally thought it was tied to some bad sounds or bad FLV’s, but I’ve tried the same media files in other swf’s and haven’t been able to reproduce the error. I also have gotten the error when I didn’t play any FLV’s at all, but was using an “onComplete” event like I said above.
It’s been a fun Friday, commenting out code, ripping parts of the app out in an effort to locate what strange combination of events is causing this…
Curious if anyone has had any recent experience with something similar. I’ve googled of course, but only found some older references to similar issues. Figured a plea post for help might be worthwhile.

I got the same problem but didn’t figure out what is going on yet. It might be some programs + flash + ie combination because it happens with me with any flash website and to get rid of this problem I just logoff and then login again.
It’s weird because it never happened on my home PC (same swf, same websites) so I guess it should be my office PC problem.

Yes, I’v got same alert too.

I’ve encountered the same problem on a number of occasions on different machines, but have never been able to identify the cause of the issue. I think part of the problem is that it doesn’t seem to occur consistently.

Have been stuggling with this all day. Like you i thought it was a problem with my code etc. Turns out it is infact a problem with ie, your user mode (permissions) and flash. This is why it only occurs at work, where i have restricted permissions. I realise now that I can replicate the error on any flash movie. All i have to do is click on it before closing IE and i get the error. Could be something to do with that recent windows update which changes the way IE handles active x content. But i’m not sure. Do you have any joy finding a fix?

It also happened to one of my programs. But it’s an exe file, not a swf file, so I don’t think it’s relating to how IE handles ActiveX. The frustrating part is that this happened to my client and I can’t seem to replicate it on my machines. Did anyone try to see if it’s occuring on Flash Player 8 too?

I’ve got the same problem. And I did a windows update recently…..
I’m also using flash 8….

had this problem too. was surfing in youtude when that suddenly happened.. nw both my mozilla and IE can’t load any pages.. but my games like WoW and Steam still works fine.. anyone has any tips on solving this problem?

I’m experiencing the same behavior on my site. FF-OK, IE takes a dump. I have some embedded movies (flash) a ‘Wimpy’ music player plugin (flash) and I disabled each of them, rebooted and I still have the same problem. Anyone? Bueller?

In IE7:
Tools > Internet Options > Advanced (tab)
- Restore Advanced Settings
- Reset Internet Explorer Settings
Although this defaults your IE7 as if you’ve never used it before, I’ve found that my problem has gone away.

Well that’s that first time I’ve seen a way to make it go away. Last time I encountered this (which was when I blogged about it) we never really found a way to get around it. It just seems like one of those IE errors that you can’t really predict and have to live with.
