After writing this for the 2nd time, I’m not writing it again. I’m saving this mofo to some easily retrievable AS file or a JSAPI command.

At any rate, here it is for you to copy and paste into your own component that you wish to implement the DataProvider API, but don’t feel like typing it again and again and again……….

Wouldn’t you love to see the Flash site they tested? Sounds to me like they didn’t use device fonts, had a set size Flash interface, and had no idea how to compress (or not compress) images for use in Flash. Bleh… any test like this is goob-i-fied if you get just a summary. People like me want the real data to know what points were valid.

Was having problems with a project, but couldn’t get the debug player to work. Whether I compiled with debugging enabled, included the SWD, nothing worked. However, works now. Here’s what I did:

– downloaded the <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/alternates/”>Flash 7 Player uninstaller</a>
– ran it and uninstalled my Flash Player 7 players
– tested to make sure my player was uninstalled by going to <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com/”>macromedia.com</a> since they usually have a Flash movie on the front page
– went to my program files > Flash MX 2004 > Players > Debug folder
– ran the Install Flash Player 7 exe and manually pointed it to IE since it couldn’t find it on it’s own
– then, ran the Install Flash Player 7 ActiveX exe
– finally, copied the SAFlashPlayer.data, .exe, .rsrc and pasted over my originals in the Player’s directory so when I compile it’ll be the debug player.

Now, I can debug remotely again.
