Hi Craig - nah, just tried and doesn't work in my situation. I'm creating multipage PDFs which requires the use of "print break" between each card, and if I don't "close printing" between reports the PDFs are corrupted (I suspect only one page of each reports gets printed and then something goes

I don't think this is a player problem, it's a script editor issue. The slowdown has been reported before, mostly on Windows, but yesterday I had the identical problem on Mac. Editing slows to a crawl until finally the IDE locks up and you're forced to force quit. To avoid losing work, restart

I concur with Peter's suggestion. Using LC9.0.5 RELEASE, I have not seen crashes when editing stacks with player objects or changing player properties. LC9.0.5rc1 and LC9.5.0 RELEASE have bugs that can crash the IDE while debugging. However, in our two applications that use the player object,

Hi all. Now works with Windows! Also, I realized that it's possible to get a new DHCP lease, in which case any prior connections would be invalid, so now the function returns the default adapter IP and MAC address on the fist line, and the default router IP and MAC address on the second line.

Roland, You might try setting filename of the player to empty before going to edit mode (catching the editScript message). In the past, if a player couldn’t find the referenced file it often causes LC to freeze or slow way down, similarly to what you’re reporting. Peter Bogdanoff ArtsInteracti
