Johan - from memory, I'm not sure AIR needs the crossdomain file,
whereas browser-based Flash does.
That might explain the discrepancy.
(That is from memory, though - probably needs doublechecking...)
Cheers,

As an addition - AIR lets you use FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE mode,
because the assumption is that the users _knows_ that they have
started the AIR app (like starting a normal .exe/.app).

No shortcut if you want them as an Array.
Something like the following is pretty short, though, and does the job:

arr.push(bo...@title.tostring());
should do it. (Untested!).

Paul,
Maybe the problem is actually that difficult - there may be no easy
solutions to the calculation, and it might indeed take hours to find a
valid solution.
But anyway - here's a thought, in case it helps.
Have you considered, for each pair:
- putting the pair on adjacent empty squares.

I suspect this is a compile-time issue - your loading SWF has no idea
what 'Paris' means when trying to compile?
In which case you need to pick it up at runtime.
Try flash.system.ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.getDefinition()
e.g.
var
Like Glen said, check out Grant's RegExr - it really helps this kind

It can autorun off a CD-ROM, but not standalone - you can package your
app with the AIR installer, but the AIR app (and your app) will
install themselves on your user's computer.

It definitely works (to do as you describe).
I think you need to take a good look at the ApplicationDomain class -
make sure that the loaded SWF is in the same application domain as
your loading SWF, and it should all be fine.
Alternatively, you can specifically query the child's

Look up event bubbling.
Essentially if you dispatch your event with bubble=true (the second
parameter to an Event constructor), then the event will 'bubble' all
the way up the display hierarchy. So your document class will only
