Yop!
I also use it for a while and really enjoy it. But u're right, the docs
are not complete or really reliable...
Someone (sorry for having forgotten your name, guy), has given a set of
Intrinsic classes to be able to code in FlashDevelop with the mdm
autocompletion... and I found sometimes that the doc says something for
an answer type, the intrinsic classes says another one... so let's test
to know how's right!
I experienced that between the mac and pc scripts, sometimes the types
are not the same, so we have to make a
if (_isPC) response = mdm.[aPCCommand] // returns a Number
else response = Number(mdm.[theSameCommandButForMac]) // because
returns a string
So I follow you, Andreas, let's ask loudly !! :p
PS : and another problem... the Dell PC's on wich it doesn't work at all
if we don't publish as FP8 version... annoying when you make an offline
version of a FP7 website -> delete/rebuild everything !! :(

Thought i'd share this. Found it amusing.
I've been using Zinc for a while and for the most part i have no
complaints, since most i use it for is simply blocking alt+f4 and
escape (kiosk apps). Recently however i had a requirement to play a
high quality movie, so i thought cool, i get to use the MediaPlayer9
functionality (which for the uninitiated basically drops an instance
of windows media player 9 on top of the flash window and gives you
callbacks for it).
So i need functionality for checking when playback has ended, and i
find it in the event onWMP9ChangeState, which according to the docs is
described as such:
usage-
mpInstance.onWMP9ChangeState:Function
parameters-
newState:Number
I hook up a listener, put a switch/case in it for newState and..
Nothing happens. I read up the docs again and in the example, what
the event actually passes is an object with a newState *parameter*. Ok
cool, whatever, i change my switch conditional to accomodate this new
fantastic knowledge, and... Still nothing.
At this point i'm a little stressed out, and i put an
mdm.Dialogs.prompt(obj.newState) to see what happens, and indeed, the
event does fire, the prompt looks like what i expected it to, but
still the switch/case doesn't work properly.
So i'm tearing my hair out for a bit, until i somehow put
typeof(obj.newState) in a prompt, and.. Yep. It's a string.
So here we have docs that describe the parameter passed from an event
as a number, but in fact is an object, containing a parameter that is
the number. As a string.
I'm not entirely sure what this means, but it actually made me laugh
out loud. Putting a parseInt(obj.newState) solved my problem.
For the love of god MDM, if any of you guys are on this list, fix your
docs. PLEASE.
For everyone else, you have been warned about the docs :P Consider
them hints, not information.
