Thanks for answering all the questions, Tom. You da man! I wouldn't have ever guessed that proplist() is the constructor for a new [:] in js syntax. I would have thought it would be Mylist = new propList(); or myObj = {}; I guess there's going to be a lot of trial and error in learning what I

Hi, Easy question for the Gurus ;o) If I have a number Timeouts running at the same and they all access say the same List. Does director run them off a single thread or might it possibly use multiple threads to run them? Im talking mutual exclusion or critical sections here. Can both my

If my memory serves me correctly timeouts are actually called in reverse order that they are in the timeout list. This makes sense in that if one of the processes called by the timeout has the timeout forget itself then it would be removed from the list and this would screw up the current

Hi Alan, The only time I've found events to be not safely sequenced is when using certain xtras that trigger handlers based on external events. For example: baDropFile can trigger a dropFile event in the middle of another handler's execution. I think baMouseWheel also does this, though I'm

Mario, I have a problem with the cursor. The problem is present when I want to convert the arrow in a little finger when there are a link. When I stay over a sprite (with link), the cursor is 280 (a little finger). When I go to another sprite the cursor (in the on mouseLeave script) change
