AnyChart Team has found in Flash Player 11.0.1.152 a very weird bug that doesn’t manifest itself in the Debug version of Flash Player, but ruins math in the regular version, so we had to debug it in the non-debug version: using ExternalInterface and JavaScript console.
Bug description
In the regular version of Flash Player 11.0.1.152 the following expression:
1/Math.abs(0)
is evaluated as -Infinity, but in the Debug version it is (as anyone expects): Infinity
Reproduce
Here is a sample code you can use to reproduce this issue:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
public class MagicWorld extends Sprite {
public function MagicWorld() {
ExternalInterface.call("alert", "1/Math.abs(0) = " + (1/Math.abs(0)).toString());
}
}
}
As soon as you have done this — compile and run the sample in the Debug and Regular versions, and you will see the difference.
The bug has been reported to Adobe: Bug#3011557
