RE: [Flashcoders] Zinc issues
Zinc fixed this issue a few releases back, sounds like you're using an old build - ours works fine with SVN now...

[Flashcoders] Zinc issues
We just purchased a license for Zinc since we had to quickly pick a 3rd party projector with file load/save for a project. I'm using it with flex 2 framework / flash 9. It's kinda a letdown, first thing, it has a bad conflict with TortoiseSVN which caused it to crash right on startup. After researching a bit, Zinc installs old DLL-s which TSVN coughs up with. SWFStudio had the same kind of issue but they fixed it in recent builds. If I knew, I'd buy it instead of Zinc. The control over dialogs and features is terrible. They do support AS3, which we need since it's Flex 2 project. But it's spotty at best. To save binary files we had to take a ByteArray and convert it to a huge HEX string for Zinc to understand. This is of course slow, even in AS3. The Open dialog works, but amusingly the Save dialog doesn't! No matter what we tried, it just won't open or do anything at all. And since the open dialog doesn't check for file existence or anything, now we save files with the open dialog, as weird as it sounds. I'm writing here to ask if someone of you have dealt with those issues in Zinc and have workarounds, fixes, tricks/hacks etc. I'm contacting Zinc support too, but from what I see on their forums, they don't seem willing to answer to other people asking about the same issues.

Re: [Flashcoders] zinc issues with AS2
Not sure if this is relevant but -are you using the intrinsic classes in Zinc. If you include them in your library you're able to compile with MTASC I believe M On 6/13/06, Andreas Rønning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Whenever i try to use mdm.* methods in AS2 classes they refuse to work, mostly because mdm is an undeclared property.

RE: [Flashcoders] zinc issues with AS2
Personally, I've been awaiting a "thin" layer for this kind of interaction for a long long time. Not only will SWHX have the advantage that it's easy to extend and program, but also it will support the *nix variety of OS's (which I'm sure Zinc doesn't) and will be totally free. How cool is that? Another thought I love is that, seeing as the garbage collector used by Neko is fully supported on mobile platforms and that Neko is built using the basic C libraries, a Neko port to the Pocket PC and Windows CE devices is also possible... That should put Zinc for PPC to rest, too. ;-) Hooray for open source :) Lee -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cedric Muller Sent: 13 June 2006 11:37 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] zinc issues with AS2 I know fatally, I am looking for working solutions, not 2000 functionalities that fail (like Zinc) SWHX will be the only option in a few months, ... when it **matures** ;) cedric > Maybe you should start looking into the new SWHX.

Re: [Flashcoders] zinc issues with AS2
sorry, don't reference, just target _global.mdm (dumber than what we
deserve)
_global.mdm.System.exec('C:/runacrobat.exe');
Cedric
Whenever i try to use mdm.* methods in AS2 classes they refuse to
work, mostly because mdm is an undeclared property. Declaring it
with var mdm:Object doesn't do much either. Super frustrating,
anyone got a workaround for this?
