swfAddress 2.1 Bug: Special Characters cause infinite loop

1 Comment | This entry was posted on Sep 11 2008

I was working with the flash deep linking tool swfAddress and came across a ridiculous bug. Apparently the new v2.1 doesn’t support certain special characters. I’m not sure of which exactly, but I know for sure you can’t use a : (colon). Trying to set the deep link URL to a string that contains a colon will cause the javascript to go into an infinite loop and eventually crash the server it is hosted on unless you navigate away from the page quickly.

Reverting back to v2.0 helped the problem. Apparently v2.3 will have a fix for this bug.
