I'm working on a project stuffed with flash drop-down menus etc. that get
populated from a database in director(8.5), and that send lots of responses
back.
haven't had a single crash (yet??).
Hope it stays that way, or i'm in way deep.
I think I'll get my visual studio tools out.

Be careful when using getURL("lingo:...") or getURL("event:...")
because of the memory leak problems. Director will crash after
a little while if Flash sends those enough times (and they don't
have to be frequent). The number of times varies. I had it
crash after 7 times and I had it crash after 74 times. You will
get a general protection fault error in the FlashAssetXtra.
Dunno if they fixed it in 8.5, but the leak is in 8.

Subject: <lingo-l> Controlling Flash Buttons?
Dear List,
In D8. Cross-platform.
I have some .SWF members that are Flash buttons. Can I control them from
Lingo?
What I'd like to do is make it stick in the 'down' state when clicked.
I can play with the buttonsenabled property, and that's a start, but
setting the .frame doesn't finish the job, and nothing else seems
applicable.
Is this possible? Have I missed something? Or should I just have them as
straight Flash animations that I _can_ control with Lingo? I bet it's no
harder than trying to mess with the buttons on the fly.
