Re: [Flashcoders] panels / workspace CS4 bug
Pedro, that works, but this way I´m forced to always have this actions buttons on the screen (when I press F9) and that is quite boring , cause (at least for me) it stands in front of important stuff . I ´m used to F9 to open /close the acitons panel. I´ll give a try on FlashDevelop! thanks everyone for replying, cheers ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] trouble with adding/removing multiple preloaders on thumbs
i have set up a thumbnail image gallery that drags images from an external

the preloader to all my image containers and then try to remove them all it

Re: [Flashcoders] Using LocalConnection to talk from AS3 file to AS2 in different domain
Hi,
Two days ago I wrote (email 16.Sep "[Flashcoders] allowDomain with wildcard
in the middle swf") about using System.security.allowDomain(*) inside
a file loaded into a "base" swf. The loaded swf, the one with wildcard
would serve as a container for further external files, potentially
incoming from any domain name but at the same time would block access
to "base" swf objects.
The purpose of using LocalConnection described by Kurt is
communication between virtual machines. But it seems still a more
secure way to proxy external domain swfs than using a "shim" file with
a wildcard (*), constantly allowing all incoming files.
Would you use LocalConnection instead of System.security.allowDomain(*)
if the issue would not be connecting between AV1 and AV2 ?
LocalConnection requires a more complex API for accessing internal
object properties than a simple System allowance, but maybe
LocalConnection is more secure at the same time... What is your
opinion ?
Thanks,
Greg

Re: [Flashcoders] panels / workspace CS4 bug
In Flex Builder 3 the project properties panels do something similar. On the left pane are the options and on the right are a details pane. The details pane often has it's boxes and tabs misplaced (off screen). By dragging the separating edge between left and right panes you can fix some of it. In some case you also need to wave the mouse, like a magic wand, and the tabs reappear. In other cases I can't get to the options in the boxes. Recently I find that I get a black hole (rectangular) in the topmost edited file's pane. If I scroll with the wheel mouse only part of the pane updates. Once I switch tabs and back its okay. This hole may have arrived when I added more memory but I can't be sure. It all sounds like the same kind of problem.
