Hi,
i have this problem: i have to write a flash movie catalog in flash

So each item into the catalog must be visible by the google spiders
Any suggestion, or any tutorial around the web?

We have a large and complex Flash RIA that represents almost 2 years of

You cannot change the timeout.

PrintJob is a poorly written class in general. Also, it runs synchronously
when it talks to the system. The reason Flash throws up the alert is
because for 15 seconds it is stuck waiting. The movie is waiting on a line
of code to finish. Flash responds to the movie being hung, which it

Well, there IS a workaround but you have to hack your swf using flasm and
set the timeout to some larger number. This really is not recommended and
most people use this to actually decrease the timeout delay, not increase it
(because they're simultaneously increasing the recursion depth).
It's not a bug, its poor programming by Macromedia... Fact is, the Flash
Player should put the PrintJob process into a separate thread, but it
doesn't... My guess is that Macromedia doesn't want to use any more than
a single thread in a single Flash Player instance ;-)

My guess (and it is only a guess) is that Flash is treating the
contents of LoadVars like a url-encoded string. e.g.
thing1=Something+something+elsething2=Another+thing
Which would mean that it probably replaces your '+' symbol with a space.
I'd try urlencoding your vars before you output them

Mike,
You can use either accordionInstance.getChildAt(index) to get an child
at a specific index, or accordionInstance.selectedChild to get the
currently selected child. Both methods should return a reference to a

Make sure you have a crossdomain.xml file in the root of your server,
otherwise the security model in Flash will refuse connections to that
server.
The simplest version (allow all connections from any flash files) would be:
