[flexcoders] Re: Using an IFrame in an MDIWindow

[lynnkuh]

Brendan, I see what you mean now. No, I don't have that. Do I need to
update the display list and get the width and height and of the
MDIWindow? Something else?

Thanks,
Lynn

  I haven't setup an IFrame within MDI, but have in the past used
 Panel popups
  to do this (which is basically the same thing), and the tricky
part was
  using ExternalInterface to update the IFrame content position
 getting loaded
