Crash involving Active Pictures and overlapping

[koobare]

Just a quick report about a crash I've encountered and had to work around (hopefuly will be fixed soon)... Every time I try to test the frame with my intended code structure, it crashes (MMF2 stays open, but the runtime tester comes crashing down). I can't post the project file (part of a bigger project under NDA), but as far as I can see, it's reproducable.

Objects used: a couple of Active Pictures (loading graphics from an external folder), grouped together within the Balls.Group qualifier, a single Active object (tested for overlapping over the said qualifier group) and the Clickteam Movement Controller (unused right now, but placed in the frame for later). Plus some Backdrop stuff, not important right now.

The frame starts, Active Pictures load their graphics from external files, the Active object is set to xmouse, ymouse and tested regularly on whether its overlapping the objects grouped under the Balls qualifier. Everything works until I try to add an event changing something within the Active Pictures - I wanted to change their Hot Spot positions, but overally any Active Picture runtime modification will produce a crash when trying to test the app.

After some detective work I discovered that deleting the conditions about overlapping the qualifier group enables me to modify the Active Pictures without any crashes. So it comes down to this: either be able to control the Active Picture's Hot Spot OR test for its collisions and overlapping. Can't do both at the same time. I worked around this already, but it's still a bug.

Could you send me this application and details on how to crash it? We can't afford spending days trying to reproduce it from scratch and we might not even be able to do it. No problem for sending us private projects, we won't disclose it, of course.
