It has been reported that they do NOT work with LNX 9,0,31,0 (Adobe's) Does it have to be considered a bug or is it known practice among flash coders to switch code based on some sort of versioning ? This is not the first case of such incompatibility between versions of Adobe players - take a look at http://gnashdev.org/wiki/index.php/Testcases and see if you find other failures (a few are listed, for example for the Number test). > Plus they can have filters (Flash 8+ feature) applied to force > antialias. So yes, it's a bit confusing. Gnash also support antialias for device fonts for free (another "problem" ?) --strk; _______________________________________________ [email protected] 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
