Very doubtful that I did that.
To be on the safe side, is having this inside my creationComplete event of every module a good idea? Yes. var myLoaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(); myLoaderContext.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain; I always make sure that my visual components for whatever module I am creating are only inside my module. It was really weird, the puremvc, issue, it was just a reference to my model with with retrieveProxy inside of one of my shell commands. All I did was remove that reference and my fonts reapeared. What I do is put all my commands in my shell, and use the puremvc shellModuleJuction paradigm, which cleanly, decouples any references to the modules directly through a nice event mechanism. This is a pretty intense flex project. Off hand, say you have a module that checks in at 1.2 megs with out doing the link reports. When I do all the link stuff with a build script, what can I expect that to be reduced to? Any ideas, mostly it's datagrids and charts inside. Also, looks like I am not going to make Adobe Max this year, :( I saw you speak last year.
