Menu
I posted this in the HTML section, but then realized that it may actually be a JavaScript question/problem. So here it is.
Ok here is the situation:
I have an html page with four links. Each link opens a Flash preloader, that then loads and opens another flash movie. This part works fine.
If these links open the preloaders on the same page the problem doesn’t occur. The problem does occur when they open the preloaders in _blank pages.
The Problem:
When a user opens a preloader, and closes it before it loads all of the way, then does two more times, the next attempt I.E. freezes up and won’t open anything. So when a user attempts to open 4 preloader pages, but closes the first three pages before they load all of the way the fourth freezes up.
If the pages are allowed to load all of the way, the error doesn’t occur. If the pages are loaded into the same page and the back button is used to get back to the links page, the error doesn’t occur.
My Thoughts:
It seems to me that the partially loaded data from the pages is being stored in a cache or something like that and when the amount of info gets to be too much, I.E. doesn’t know what to do.
To end a long winded post. Does this make sense? And is there anyway to clear this cache when a user closes a page? window.onClose.clearCache or something?
Thanks.
