Hacking the swf to increase the timeout is not the solution, it's a band-aid on a gunshot wound. > I have over 20 years of programming experience including at > assembler level, advanced Java, etc, but thanks for trying to > put me in my place :-) Let's say for argument's sake that it is a bug and it is all Macromedia's fault and they won't fix it and life is unfair. That doesn't change the fact that your application needs to work to your client's expectations. You need to find a solution because that's what you're paid to do. As Danny Kodicek knows coming from a Director background, there were tons of bugs in Director and workarounds had to be figured out to make certain things work. John Dowdell, in his infinite wisdom, got on Direct-L and posted that Director had no bugs, that there was just application behavior that Director developers wished worked differently. At the end of the day, I don't tell my client "Sorry, it's a bug and I can't work around it". I figure out how to get it done, and so should you and everyone else who does this for a living. The place I'm trying to put you in is "Flash Developer". ;) _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
