June 17th, 2011

Full error code:

at cmodule.as3_jpeg_wrapper::FSM_imalloc$/start()

The error happened when I tried to encode more than one bitmap with Alchemy JPEG encoder.

Make sure that you don’t initialize you C library more than once or use the code below to avoid this:

var cLibInit:CLibInit;
var cLib:Object;
if (cLib == null) {
    cLibInit = new CLibInit;
    cLib = cLibInit.init();            
}
