What's a slick way to bypass the restrictions imposed as Flash automatically truncates URLs (to 128 characters) that are used as values of HREF attributes in HTML text or as arguments passed to getURL? One of our clients needs long URLs to open in a browser from the Flash application. Right

I didn't remember such restriction so tried it with a more than 1000 character long URL, and it is working on IE and FF, Flash Player 9 (movie published to player 8). Attila ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options

Unhijacking of thread is a go! I haven't really used any functional language stuff for a couple years, so I may be off base a bit, but I'm not sure if you could really create a language that's both Functional and OOP, as OOP is a fairly procedural construct. The main problem I see is that OOP

I am a strong believer of the power of OOP, but recently came across the following blog posts that argue for the advantges, and some would say supremacy of functional over imperative/procedural and OOP programming. http://blog.lostlake.org/index.php?/archives/18-Functional-languages-
