Re: [Flashcoders] Strange Button Behavior
You could try a LocalConnection with a crossdomain policy, and an
allowDomain set,
(I know you can do it with two different open webpages, haven't
tested web 2 desktop,
but as long as both are open, they should talk. But I could stand
corrected.)
I think LocalConnection is just AS2 though. Not sure of the equiv. in
AS3.
Might be a less hacky work-around though. If I understand your
situation that is.. :)

Hmm, an exe should be exempt from the local vs network restrictions,
but maybe something else is failing.
Have you tried tracing the error?
I vaguely rememeber having problems with _blank, etc. in the past.
See if it works without those?
Here are some links I found that may help.

[Flashcoders] HTMLLoader not loading
Hi list... I'm *desperately* trying to figure out why an AIR project's HTMLLoader won't load any pdfs, just showing blank. Web pages load fine. Based on documented known limitations (below): scaleX, scaleY, and alpha of the HTMLLoader are all 1, and rotation is 0. The window isn't transparent. The htmlLoader instance is at the top of the displayList. I set scaleMode to NO_SCALE. A simple test AIR file worked fine. It's got to be something about my file, but what can I double check? Any help is tremendously appreciated! Thanks, - Michael M. From the docs: Known limitations for PDF content in AIR PDF content in Adobe AIR has the following limitations: PDF content does not display in a window (a NativeWindow object) that is transparent (where the transparent property is set to true). The display order of a PDF file operates differently than other display objects in an AIR application. Although PDF content clips correctly according to HTML display order, it will always sit on top of content in the AIR application's display order. If certain visual properties of an HTMLLoader object that contains a PDF document are changed, the PDF document will become invisible. These properties include the filters, alpha, rotation, and scaling properties. Changing these properties renders the PDF content invisible until the properties are reset. The PDF content is also invisible if you change these properties of display object containers that contain the HTMLLoader object. PDF content is visible only when the scaleMode property of the Stage object of the NativeWindow object containing the PDF content (the window.nativeWindow.stage property) is set to air.StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE. When it is set to any other value, the PDF content is not visible. Clicking links to content within the PDF file update the scroll position of the PDF content. Clicking links to content outside the PDF file redirect the HTMLLoader object that contains the PDF (even if the target of a link is a new window). PDF commenting workflows do not function in AIR. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

I think that this is likely due to the quoted requirements. It can not be scaled, rotated, filtered, color transformed or anything of that fun stuff. Somehow the root had something on that list.

Thanks a lot for showing that to me - I managed to get something working which is both quick and relatively cool. I don't ever do a pixel by pixel explosion to save speed, smallest I go is 2px segments, but it's very quick that way and looks nearly as cool.

[Flashcoders] Spark BorderContainer.borderColor inconsistency?
Are there some properties of Spark components you can only set with MXML? Why is it I can do this: s:BorderContainer borderColor=0x99 / but when I do this: var borderContainer:BorderContainer = new BorderContainer; I can't then do this: borderContainer.borderColor = 0x99; ? Using Flashbuilder 4, code hinting does not show a borderColor property of the BorderContainer instance, and you get the compiler error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property borderColor through a reference with static type spark.components:BorderContainer. Can you not set the borderContainer.borderColor property via Actionscript? Seems nuts - unless it's a known bug or I am missing something obvious.

Looked into this a while ago. Bottom line was you can never guarantee
an unload, so repeated load/unload always have the potential for
memory leaks.
In the case of Flex apps it was never possible to completely clear
them from memory.
Our solution was to load other swfs in another window, though I
appreciate this won't suit everyone. It may be possibleto load them on
the same page with JavaScript communication between apps. If there is
a physical overlap between the display areas, eg using z-index of CSS
you may give up the option of 3d acceleration in flash 11 and there
may be issues with display on some operating systems/ browsers

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 is it possbile to show a movieclip before its all frames loaded
I think the easiest answer is yes - if you use a Loader object to load a streamable MovieClip based swf, you can just add that Loader object to the display list and it'll start streaming the swf, just like if it was embedded in an HTML object tag.
