[Flashcoders] ALT+GR in FireFox 4.0

2011-04-28 Thread Elia Morlin
Does anyone have an AS3 solution for the ALT+GR problem in FireFox 4.0? It will not accept ALT+GR in combination with any character. So it's impossible to enter a @, [ or ]. Thanks Elia Morling ___ Flashcoders mailing list

welcome to the most depressing feeling for Flash coders from last year. fortunately things have changed since then, but you will have to repackage the swf into an iOS application using Flash CS5+ or the AIR SDK. google Flash on iPad you will find plenty of discussion and a lot of coverage of

I'm going crazy trying to drill down into a XMLList which has namespaces declared. I have been able to go into a few layers of the original XML with namespaces using namespace definitions in AS3, but now I am stuck at the last level. The XMLList I have pared it down to has a length of 1 and
