From an internal bug report:

In low-bandwidth situations, repeatedly clicking objects that trigger audio
causes Internet Explorer 7 to crash. It seems that the Shockwave plugin is
crashing and taking down Internet Explorer with it. We do not know what is
causing the crash only that it does not happen over high-bandwidth connections.
The bug appears more often when several users in a single physical location
run the courseware while sharing the same bandwidth.

A zip file with a simple dir, dcr and htm file to reproduce the bug can be
found here:

Click the black button several times IN INTERNET EXPLORER 7 to see the browser
crash.

I am curious to know why this is happening. I can't tell if it is Adobe's or
Microsoft's fault. (I guess it could be mine) but it seems to be such simple
code. The browser should NOT just crash.

which shockwave plugin?... there are now two - one for D11 and the other for
older versions...
which version of Director?
which OS and service pack?

I've just tested it on my Intel Quad Core Q6700 Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1 in
IE7 running just the DCR (.htm pages default to Firefox for me)... and
repeatedly clicked on the black button to repeat the audio but IE7 did not
crash.

Ha, I guess that would be helpful

We've reproduced with both SW 10 and 11 plugin.

Was created/published from Director 8.5.

I have only reproduced on an XP machine (SP 2), not sure if it was reported on
Vista. I may go check that.
