We’re using the EarthBrowser Mac Mouse Wheel fix in our current Flex project. I was noticing some sporadic “SecurityError: Error #2112: Provided parameter LoaderContext.ApplicationDomain is from a disallowed domain.” pop up, but only when scrolling our TileList via the middle mouse. If you used the mouse on the scrollbar, it worked fine.

This is a long post, so I’ve provided a short version, and content links to relevant sections if you want to skip around.
Short Version
I’ve built an AIR application in my spare time using Flex that helps you play Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition faster. It took 6 months in my spare time and cost around $50k to build, and $40 a month to maintain.
See and download it here.
It was created in response to my new players, who are tech saavy, having a slow time getting a game going. I copied the design metaphor used in MMORPG games, as well as creating an online database via Django of user submitted content to help the process go faster, as well as supporting house rules. In doing market research, I found my product is for a younger generation, and this makes it challenging to market. I used an Iterative/Agile development process to ensure it got completed.
The app had 3 goals: make money, make our games quicker & easier, and prove to myself I could execute. I succeeded in the latter 2, and failed in the making money… so far.
