-
- Here are three different solutions for what is coming to be known as the "AMK
- Spinning Cursor Bug".
-
- The bug occurs primarily on the new PowerPC 604 based machines but could
- potentially happen on any PowerPC. The symptom is you have just clicked to go
- to a new screen (or even just launched an AMK program) and the machine hangs.
- The problem is caused by the spinning color cursors that AMK uses to indicate
- that processing is going on.
-
- The three solutions address different audiences:
-
- Developers with existing titles should distribute the "AMK Launch'NPlay"
- application to customers who report crashes. To use AMK Launch'NPlay, just
- double-click on it. You will be prompted with a standard get-file dialog.
- Navigate to your AMK application and open it. The title will be launched and
- will not crash - you will notice there are no spinning cursors! You must use
- AMK Launch'NPlay to open the title *everytime* you want to play it. AMK
- Launch'NPlay will not run on non-PowerPC machines because it is only required
- for PowerPC users.
-
- If you are an Apple Media Tool developer currently working on titles, use the
- "PROGRAM" file supplied here. This is just a replacement for one of the files
- in the AMT:Runtime Maker:CODES folder. Drag it to this folder and replace the
- old PROGRAM with it. Rebuild any titles you are currently working on.
-
- If you are an Apple Media Tool Programming Environment user, replace the
- cursor.c file in your key:RUNTIME folder with the one supplied here.
-
- Please contact DEVSUPPORT if you experience any problems with any of these
- solutions.
