Freeze in a Firefox
Apr 22nd, 2005, 7:21am  
Hello,

There's a problem when using Firefox on OSX. If you move mouse over the applet, it stops working. I've tested several simple applets and all have the same problem.

My OSX is 10.3.9 and I've already done a patch for 10.3.9 java problem.

Please check it Smiley
Thanks.

Sou

ah, now it's ok!
I should have googled before asking Smiley
This isn't the fault of the P5, Mozilla only uses JRE 1.3.1 even if a later JRE is installed. So I have to get some Java plug-in for this Fox to work!

This is the link to this topic!

anyway, Doesn't P5 Beta support Java 1.3 ?

nope, we should be supporting 1.3 for exported applets just fine... could you try running with firefox and check the java console for any errors that happen when your code freezes up?

Hi, fry Smiley

Belows are the error messages in Java console.
There's no mouse-related code in the source and there's no error if I do it in JRE 1.4.2.


java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
     at processing.core.PApplet.handleMouseEvent(PApplet.java:1189)
     at processing.core.PApplet.dequeueMouseEvents(PApplet.java:1167)
     at processing.core.PApplet.display(PApplet.java:1080)
     at processing.core.PGraphics.requestDisplay(PGraphics.java:362)
     at processing.core.PApplet.run(PApplet.java:916)

aha, thanks.. found and fixed. was using getButton(), a java 1.4-specific function, to get the mouse button. just changed it back to the 1.1/1.3 version and it'll be all set for 86.

I've run into this issue too... is there something we can do in our code to get around it until 0086? It isn't happening to everyone, so is there some function we can avoid to solve this temporarily?

Thanks

yeah, it's not happening for all since safari uses java 1.4 instead of 1.3. this project: http://javaplugin.sourceforge.net/ seems to have a fix, but i haven't tried it.
