Thanks, you really saved my #ss!
Big project, short on time, big trouble.
Because of not closing the SO it somehow got corrupted (had worked for a day) and crashed both player and IDE every time I tried to access the SO.

Fixed the code and used http://objection.mozdev.org/ firefox-plugin to delete the corrupted SO.

Seemed like flash also added some kind of ban on my so. Saw that file in objection also and deleted that too.
Hope this helps someone.

Thanks again.

You actually saved me a lot of time
My Flash IDE also crashed when I used sample code from the help file.

.close() fixes the problem.

I noticed I had to close the flash object every time with the .close() method, also when you are only reading from it.

Thanks
Bart
