Where would you place a your global properties? This is a question that
has always got me.
If the properties such as framerate, gatewayURL, styles, etc need to be in
the class application. They have to be there for two reasons.

2. variables must be
Hey Ricardo,
just to give you a ruff idea, there are bazillion ways of doing this.
You have two flas, shell.fla and section.fla. In each there's a clip
on Stage called container_mc.
In shell.fla on _root you do:
Application.main(container_mc);
In section.fla on _root you do:
var
Well, I think that there are different ways to accomplish this and every
developer will have his own way. You could store the config variables in
Application, or you could have a Config class that is set up when
Application starts, i.e. getting the configuration from an XML file, and
the rest
Forget about: Application.main(container_mc);
Application.main();

Personally I'd pass them interfaces rather than intrinsics (mostly
because interfaces are a standard OOP concept but intrinsics are a

Ah - that's because I don't do this with statics/getInstance(). :-)
If I did, I'd probably do it with a minimal 'locator' class rather
than an intrinsic. e.g.
MyAppLocator.getApp() returns IApp
IApp defines registerMe()
That sort of thing. :-)
But, at the end of the day, whatever works for
Yes, something like a ViewLocator or a special SectionLocator.

You can use the decimal values just fine with setRGB.
var _clr:Color = new Color(_mc);
_clr.setRGB(4951245);

You can also use server-side apps to convert an uploaded Excel doc to
XML and then do whatever with it - run SQL statements, other server side
scripts, or back into Flash - no manual save as XML required, but it
does require some savy backend stuff and/or third party components.

One thing you can do is use MovieClipLoader::onLoadError to check the
