The only problem is, it's a "Single Frame" application. I avoid multi-frame apps like the plague - because I have so many coding issues, and can't have controls residing on multiple frames (they must exist at all times, because they intercommunicate with each other, throughout the lifetime of the application).
This app is considered to be an "RIA", and resides ALL on a single frame. All my MovieClips have Class Files attached to them, and I truly run this Movie like an Application. Multiple Windows, toggling visibility, remoting calls, etc. all tied together by listening to Events. It's a wonderfully reliable application - which I plan on migrating to Flex as soon as I can. But in the meantime, Flash is my only solution. With that said, is there anything else I can do - to force the "onResize" event to kick off, just milliseconds after the application gets fully initialized? I have a feeling this may fix the problem. Maybe some kind of Timer that only runs once? Once things are positioned properly upon the initial load, it's all well and good - the StageListener coupled with the manual browser resizes, takes care of everything after that. Thanks for anything else you can throw my way :) Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan Matsikas Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 12:41 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Manually triggering the Screens "onResize" event I'm guessing yer having these issues in IE?
