A friend's old website proving difficult #18249

Describe what you were doing

My good friend's website he made out of flash back in the day (analyzing the films of Stanley Kubrick) is just about the densest thing you will see. He has gobs of stuff that was made inaccessible when they abandoned it. I am so stoked to have Ruffle now to be able to access this stuff again (so will he once he hears about it, at the moment he is experiencing health problems and can't use the computer, I can't wait to tell him of this new development). Anyway, some of his pages work but I have noticed others don't. Since the crash messages recommend submitting a bug I figured I'd write this message to see if anyone cares to work on it. this is a pretty unique edge case use for Flash I think you'll admit.

here's a page that works for me currently: https://zerozerotwo.org/KUBRICK/ANTSTAN/BOMB.html

here's one that doesn't: https://www.zerozerotwo.org/KUBRICK/CRYO/PortALIEN.html here's another that doesn't: https://www.zerozerotwo.org/KUBRICK/KONG/KongKNIFE.html

What does the crash message say?

"Ruffle has encountered a Major Issue whilst trying to display this Flash content This isn't supposed to happen, so we'd really appreciate if you could file a bug!

This looks like #17753, but much more extreme. The same solution applies, but because of the number and sizes of the Flash elements, performance is still extremely poor. I'm not sure how feasible it would be to address this kind of performance problem.

Also related to #9199.
