Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Interactive conferences
I am thinking about switching to HTML 5. Simple question... How do you go about setting up a stage (size) in html5?

My apps are medical in nature (use of them requires proper professional credentials) and so I don't want to put them on the App store. I charge a subscription fee for access to the apps and issue Usernames and Passwords to the subscribers. After a long search and trial of many tools, I settled on HandHeldDesigner. It is the closest programming tool to Flash that I have seen and so far I have been able to do anything with it that I have wanted. It is available on the Mac App store and at http://handhelddesigner.com I have no affiliation with the program or the author.

[Flashcoders] Can't display multiple components
I am wanting to display 2 components at the same time, along with having a preloader in place. So I have put my components on frame 3, my preloading is done on frame 1. In my actionscript publish settings I have set my export frame for classes to 2 and unchecked export in first frame in the library... phew! When I test the movie I only get one component working properly. Is this a bug?

[Flashcoders] variable scope

Here is a snippet:
