Recently i've been working on a 2d stick-fighting game (probably as far as my knowledge can take me at the moment) and after a while when I tried to save the fla file, a pop-up came up with the text: "No error occured".

So I thought all was fine and dandy.. until the timeline suddenly screwed up, filled the stage with grey. I couldn't click anything on the stage, and then I pressed Ctrl+Enter. IN the Output WIndow it sed something something .as file could not be accessed. Then I clicked "Start" in WinXP and then to "Programs" and found it empty! I then checked if the fla file actually saved, but couldn't access my hard drive at all! I clicked Ctrl+Alt+Delete and it didn't work! At teh end Flash froze and I had to hard reset the computer. Gave me quite a fright.

Later on I found out i had the Sasser worm but I wasn't sure if that had caused teh problem. Can somebody tell me which of the following possibilities are most likely to have caused such a problem?

a) Lack of memory (Sasser worm produced a "avserve.exe" which ate up a lot of Ram and CPU)
b) Dirty script
c) Other?

no it wasnt the AS, windows has nasty protection so a running program could have cause that error by 'interferring' with windows. windows could even have 'interferred' with itself when running the player
(sounds rude dont it ;))
