Ok, I'm almost positive nobody will be able to help me with that, but let's try anyway... perhaps someone encountered the same bug before.

I have a web page with a Flash applet loaded in it, nothing that special, just some small movie clips with buttons calling getURL(), very simple.

Under windowsXP and MSIE, when the user closes the IE window AFTER clicking on at least one link in a movie clip, IE crashes on exit.

The error message is very generic in a modal window.

I dont even have a clue where to start looking to fix this...

So, to be clear, IE is crashing when you close the page during the loading of the page the getURL refers you to? Are these javascript pseudo-URLs? If so, are you ensuring that the return value of your javascript instruction is void? IE is known to get unstable with non-void javascript pseudo-URL return values.

There isnt any javascript involved.

My flash applet calls getURL() which loads the URL within a iframe.

IE crashes if I close the window AFTER at least one click has been made on my flash applet.
