Re: [Flashcoders] Trouble with é FIXED
I used a try catch block to handle my error...worked well. So I don't use the 'ol Try - catch too often and forgot about using it for my situation.

[Flashcoders] fms videostream thumbnails
What is the best setup to export a small set of thumbnails of a flash media server recorded stream ? The idea is content moderation, and therefore I need 2 or 3 snapshots of what the client recorded and the stream that got archived. Has FMS that functionality serverside or do I have to create bmp snaps on the client and upload them ? Has anybody has some illustrative FMS code ?

Ok, a couple more things to consider. Are the fonts Unicode? They should be. Are ArialReg and ArialBold the actual name of the embedded version of the font?

No Kerry...the actionscript name is ArialReg which is the regular vers of Arial. ArialBold is Arial Bold.

[Flashcoders] Security Sandbox Violation question
Hi list...
I'm building an AIR app that brings in a swf from the user's hard drive. The
swf is simply a linear animation with a button to replay the animation on its
last frame. The swf plays fine, but when I click the replay button, I get:
** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain 'file:///C:/ProgramData/myPath/animation.swf' tried to access
incompatible context 'app:/air.swf'
I am reluctant to set Security.allowDomain(*); I tried it and it didn't work
anyway.
Code on the button:
StartOverButton.addEventListener(flash.events.MouseEvent.CLICK,
function(m:MouseEvent){gotoAndPlay(1);});
stop();
Any suggestions? Thanks,
- Michael M.

[Flashcoders] useCapture = true is faster?
Hello all, I'm curious - if I use someObj.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, someFunc, true); then do evt.stopPropagation - is that faster than if I don't set useCapture = true? The thinking is that it won't have to climb the display list hierarchy down to the target, then back up again - it'll just fire the event at stage, the one time, then cancel futher propagation. I'd guess that I'd have to use evt.currentTarget in place of evt.target. Is that correct? Or is there no real benefit, and I should stick to useCapture = false?
