Thanks for the reply moagrius. I'm not sure if they originally intended to do it like that or not - half the information on cross domain policy files on the internet is a bit insane. Still it's worth...

Hi Jonathan, Planet,

That seems to have fixed it all right. Purely out of interest, how do you choose which words get linked and what's shown? It seems a bit random:

Hi guys,

I'm using the [Embed] tag to embed a movieclip symbol from a fla like this:



[Embed( source = "../../assets/icons.swf", symbol = "crate" )]
private var m_crateClass:Class;

Also, i should say, that everything else that's running flash was closed (browsers etc)

package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.system.System;

public class Main extends Sprite
{

public function Main():void

also, if i change the code slightly to:


for ( var i:int = 0; i < 15; i++ )
{
// create fake item
this._AddToShowingList( [fake item] );
if( i == 14 )
return;
}

Back again like a renegade master with another insane bug.

Thanks for replying guys.

Ralgoth:
Your fix works, though I'm still a bit confused with why it only happens if the variable is static. If it's a normal class variable, it compiles fine.

Hi guys,

I've come across some weird behaviour and I'm not sure if it's a bug with Flash or not.

Basically I have 2 classes, A and B. B derives from A. Inside A, I declare a static...

but it does take an ARGB value - see the first sprite in the first example. 0xffff0000 produces red as desired.

perhaps the extra 1 added from 0xfffffffe to 0xffffffff makes it too large, which is...

Why does this not work?
