||unity-dev|| Unity 2 login not compatible with Flash 7 publishing?

hi derek,
i'm surprised that uSimpleChat w/ client login compiled at all for you 
in flash 8. flash 8 should give you a compiler error when you attempt to 
compile because i (stupidly) used "int" as a variable name. to fix that, 
change lines 278 and 279 of USimpleChat.as to this:

   var intID:Number = setInterval(function (client:USimpleChat) {
   clearInterval(intID);

as for your infinite loop, it's a bug in UClient that only appears when 
you publish to flash player 7 format. here's the fix:

http://www.moock.org/pipermail/unity-dev/2004-July/002501.html

note that the macromedia v1 components used in uSimpleChat w/ client 
login might not behave properly in a flash player 7-format .swf file. 
you should export to version 6 if you're using those components. or if 
you want to export to version 7 you should upgrade to the v2 components.

All of a sudden I was having weird problems where the flash app would hang and eventually Flash will pop up a dialog box that says "A script in this movie is causing Flash Player to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"  Any thing other than pressing Yes is bad news.

Just try logining in with a non-registered account name, or a registered account with the wrong password.  It gives me the pop error every time in that situation. I'm using Studio 8 and Unity 2.0.2.
