[flexcoders] How can I stop/kill a running SWF which was loaded with SWFLoader ?
Hi All, I have a swf which I loaded via SWFLoader. It runs fine however how can I kill it. I dont have the source FLA so I cant add actionscript inside the SWF. I must kill it from the outside. when I set the swfLoad.load(null) or swfLoad = null or even swfLoad.source = null after it has been running for a few seconds I can still hear the SWF sound playing in the backgound ... It just won't die :( Is there anyway to terminate the running loaded swf ? Regards, Sean.

problem. Post something and we can take a look see.

Subject: Re: RES: [flexcoders] Resize very slow
Hey All, I have a very similar question to this one, so I thought I'd
continue this thread.
I also have a slow redraw, because of one of my properties id
dynamically bound to calculate the width based on another property.
When making the screen larger, it does one redraw, however, when
making it smaller, it does it's loop of calling resize everytime the
control property changes. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way
to supress the resize events until the parent has finished drawing, or
something similar.
I have to set the width because the component I'm resizing is a
TextArea and I'm trying to force it to take up as many lines as it
needs to render the length of text, which is all variable.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Assunto: [flexcoders] Resize very slow
I have a canvas and a few controls within the canvas. On of these is an
image.
Essentially, what I want is that the image appear towards the bottom of
the canvas, so what I do is this
mx:Image id=myImage top={containerCanvas.height -
myImage.height} /
This works, except that when the canvas is sized to a different size it
looks like I have a slow motion effect in place. It takes quite a few
seconds (3-10) depending on the difference between the old and new
height of the canvas.
So is there a way to speed this up?

The URL to the extracted SWF is then stored in a behind-the-scenes AS class created by the compiler. When the framework bootstraps it will use the URL to load the SWF using the Loader class.

[flexcoders] Play MP3 at FLV cue point
Hi All, I've been trying to get a sound to play when a VideoDisplay (playing an FLV) hits a cue point, and have been seeing very sporadic results: sometimes the sound plays, sometimes it doesn't. I've tried the following approaches: embedding the MP3, using a SoundEffect, invoking mysound.play(), setting a SoundChannel object to mysound.play(), and have had the same inconsistent results with all. My FLVs have audio, so I'm guessing that some kind of race condition is occurring, although I've heard the FLV audio playing concurrently with the MP3, so I'm not sure what to think about that. Does this behavior sound familiar to anyone? Any guesses as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance! -Eugene
[flexcoders] Re: Flex PHP
Hey David,
AMFPHP right? If I'm not mistaken, navigateToUrl isn't the best way to
go about it. AMFPHP is Remoting...so maybe use it as such? I'd go at
it this way:
Step 1: Create your RemoteObject. Obviously this can be done in AS as
well:
mx:RemoteObject id=amfphpService showBusyCursor=true
destination=amfphp fault=amfphpFaultHandler(event)
source=tamarispa.resServ
mx:method name=myAmfMethod
result=myAmfMethodResultHandler(event)/
/mx:RemoteObject
Step 2: Set your endpoint do imports
//point to gateway
amfphpServ.endpoint = http://www.myServer.com/amfphp/gateway.php;;
//do your imports
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
Step 3: Make the call
private function callAmfService():void {
var sendObj:Object = new Object();
sendObj.name = me;
sendObj.greeting = hello;
amfphpServ.getOperation(myAmfMethod).send(sendObj);
}
Step 4: Handle the result / fault
You can basically send any info (like the sendObj in above example),
and it's not goint through as URL vars.
If you want more security, you can serialize / deserialize your
objects before you send'em.
good luck...

How can I get around this? I've thought about creating an

[flexcoders] help with databinding -- repeater listening for event?
I'm a bit frustrated here and hope someone can point out where I've
gone wrong.
I've got a repeater that is drawing out 4 circles and binding to a
Singleton class' variable via binding -- all this works well the first
time -- the Singleton class is loading in xml that holds the x/y and
size coords for these 4 circles.
I want to load in the next 4 circles xml and have the repeater redraw
these 4 circles - how best to do this? If I'm using a custom canvas to
draw these 4 circles; should the canvas itself redraw upon the
CircleData.getInstance().currentCircle change?!?
If it's not clear what I'm doing, here's some code.
main.mxml is drawing out a CircleLayout.mxml as a component (Canvas),
and inside there is:
mx:Repeater id=rep
dataProvider={CircleData.getInstance().currentCircle.circle}
mx:Button x={Number([EMAIL PROTECTED])}
y={Number([EMAIL PROTECTED])}
width={(Number([EMAIL PROTECTED])*defaultSize)}
height={(Number([EMAIL PROTECTED])*defaultSize)}
styleName={String([EMAIL PROTECTED])}
label={String([EMAIL PROTECTED]).toUpperCase()}
useHandCursor={CircleData.getInstance().isEdit}
buttonMode={CircleData.getInstance().isEdit}/
/mx:Repeater
And within the CircleData class:
public function setCircleData(event:Event):void{
circlesList = new XML(xmlURLLoader.data);
pos = circlesList.item.length()-1;
var tmp:XMLList = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
// change this datelist constructor to have id# of cirlce items
dateList = new ArrayCollection();
for(var i:uint=0; itmp.length(); i++){
dateList.addItem({label: tmp[i], data:i});
}
loadCircles(pos);
}
public function loadCircles(newPos:Number):void{
currentCircle = circlesList.item[pos];
}
And the combo box is really just doing
CircleData.getInstance().loadCircles(pos)
But the repeaters aren't firing off the redraw again?
RE: [flexcoders] Re: flashvars hate me
While this approach might be good to just 'enumerate' your Flashvars.
loosely coupling application functionality to generally unknown variables is
a train wreck waiting to happen. In Dennis's example 'woo' is the value of
the url. which could change if the value is being streamed into the wrapper
at runtime (very common). This would exacerbated data handling
proportionately to the number of Flashvars. Given this - I would recommend
the following.
var urlFragment:String = [ some default ];
if ( Application.application.parameters.url == )
urlFragment = Application.application.parameters.url;
Storing more than a few items in Flashvars isn't a good idea. the more
unknowns you include the more introspection you will be required to do.
Acquiring the value of parameters by name is preferred and allows you to
fallback - and keep your application from es-ploding (e.g. if the name is
unknown and the value is variable what's the point?)

I just got busted for being wrong on a different question, but here goes
anyway:
The Flash Player, from the viewpoint of AS code is essentially single
threaded. So, in the example you posted, the execution runs sequentially
througe each function. myFunctionTwo() will not run until myFunctionOne()
completes
Things that can change this are calls to external data, which are always
asynchronous, a callLater(), perhaps some other cases as well.
But normally, you can depend on linear execution of your code paths.

private function doThisFunction():void
{
myFunctionOne();
myFunctionTwo();
myFunctionThree();
}
When I execute doThisFunction, does it literally run the 3 functions
one-two-three, or does it execute the first function, waits for it to
finish, then runs the second function, waits for it to finish, then
finally runs the third function. How could doThisFunction possibly
know when myFunctionOne even finishes?
My end goal, is to create a way for a function (containing more
functions within) to stop and wait for each function to run
complete, before executing the next one. I know Events are used quite
often when things must happen in a sequence, but when it comes to things
like Scaling or Sizing a Component, how could I possibly know when
something like that finishes?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can all throw my way :)

[flexcoders] Re:Passing complextype parameter to webservice
Hi,
You can simply use an object like :
public class MyAuth {
public var username:String = '';
public var password:String = '';
}
and call your Webservice like :
var auth:MyAuth = new MyAuth;
auth.username = 'mika';
authenticationService.startSession(auth);
I think you can egally use Object like this :
authenticationService.startSession( {username: mika, password: 'pass'} );
Hope this help...

Hi,
I'm new to Flex and hoping you all might be able to answer a question
I have had for a while. In ActionScript, I'm trying to pass a
parameter to a web service. I'm using the WebService class in the
following way:
...
authenticationServi
ce = new WebService();
authenticationService.loadWSDL(http://localhost:8080/alfresco/wsdl/authentication-service.wsdl
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/wsdl/authentication-service.wsdl);
authenticationService.startSession(parameter); // startSession being
the name of the operation.
...
Now, the parameter is a complextype:
element name=startSession
complexType
sequence
element name=username type=xsd:string/
element name=password type=xsd:string/
/sequence
/complexType
/element
How do I represent this type in ActionScript? As an object? I hope
this makes sense?! Thank you in advance for any help!

Re: [flexcoders] Embedded fonts + modules = weirdness
I suppose modules may not be the culprit but I've started suspecting them
first lately based on my experiences with them thus far. (Bizarre problem

try to come up with a simpler test case. Will report back after some more
independent digging.

A reduced test case might help.
The way I debug this stuff is to remove as many text displaying widgets
from the UI, then break on validateNow in UITextField, check the parent to
see if it is the one you want and follow its logic through for how it
calculates its TextFormat and embedFonts. The rule for embedded fonts is
that the code that calls new UITextField must be in the same SWF as the
font. Flex 3 has a whole bunch of logic that should take care of that via
moduleFactory and the embeddedFontRegistry.
If the CSS is in a runtime CSS module, there might be a timing issue as to
when the font becomes available and when the TextFields get re-factory'd.

Shouldn't it use whatever font I tell it to?
And why would it work on one instance of the same button and not another?
It is definitely related to being on a non-deferred tab because it only
happens on the first tab, no matter how many there are.

Re: [flexcoders] WS call returning error from Flex 2
Please install an http debugging proxy like http://www.xk72.com/charles/ Look for the request response in the particular operation call. Flex is not able to decipher the exact error message in a soap fault sometimes, which you will be able to view in the response tab in charles. Most probably the server is failing at the point of parsing the soap request.

[flexcoders] Re: WS call returning error from Flex 2
For debugging WebServices, I user a tool like SOAP UI (http://www.soapui.org/ -- They have a free version, and I'd install the stand-alone one, not the eclipse plug-in). It allows you to send test SOAP Envelopes to the Server, and to view the responses. It also has functionality that allows you to validate your Requests and Responses to/from the server. Most likely, what you're receives in your Flex application is some random error from the server, like an invalid Soap response being received. I'd turn tracing on in your FLEX application (add a mx:TraceTarget level=0 / ) somewhere in the main part of your application. Then watch the Flex Builder output window for SOAP encoding messages and grab the encoded soap request. Load that text up into SOAP UI and make a raw request to the server without even using FLEX. This will tell you if a) it's indeed just your server b) if the soap envelope FLEX is creating on your behalf is formatted as the server expects. Also, it might help to turn validation of SOAP Requests on in your server, which I'm not sure exactly how to do in your setup. You could throw a generic message, or the specific validation failings when the server receives the request. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, mailamannow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I m trying to store data into database using Simple Pojo based Web Service, deployed in Axis.

Subject: Re: RES: [flexcoders] Resize very slow
Hey All, I have a very similar question to this one, so I thought I'd
continue this thread.
I also have a slow redraw, because of one of my properties id
dynamically bound to calculate the width based on another property.
When making the screen larger, it does one redraw, however, when
making it smaller, it does it's loop of calling resize everytime the
control property changes. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way
to supress the resize events until the parent has finished drawing, or
something similar.
I have to set the width because the component I'm resizing is a
TextArea and I'm trying to force it to take up as many lines as it
needs to render the length of text, which is all variable.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Assunto: [flexcoders] Resize very slow
I have a canvas and a few controls within the canvas. On of these is
an
image.
Essentially, what I want is that the image appear towards the bottom
of
the canvas, so what I do is this
mx:Image id=myImage top={containerCanvas.height -
myImage.height} /
This works, except that when the canvas is sized to a different size
it
looks like I have a slow motion effect in place. It takes quite a
few
seconds (3-10) depending on the difference between the old and new
height of the canvas.
So is there a way to speed this up?
[flexcoders] CartesianDataCanvas, drawing from edge to edge
Hey guys This question is really directed to Ely, but if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Been using DataDrawingCanvas, which is an awesome component, but unfortunatly no longer works in the constraints with Flex 3. For which i've been trying to port the code over to use the new CartesianDataCanvas which is the replacement (or update) to it. With DataDrawingCanvas, there was a simply definition of EDGE, which allowed to draw from a data point to the edge of the component, however this no longer exists in the cartesiandatacanvas, as all points are described in terms of data, or offsets of the data. Is there anyway to get this functionality back? I can't rely on having set maximum minimum on the axis, and drawing solely in data points, because I need the padding that only computed maximum minimum values that the graphing provides.

Re: [flexcoders] Where is adobe? Come to universities!
Our interns always learn and work with Flex and usually find an opportunity to continue to use Flex in their courses even if they aren't studying it. Most schools have some open projects where students can choose technologies even if the teachers aren't familiar with them. One of our interns in particular would come back and visit our office for months to show us the work he was doing at school. Turned out some very nice things and really impressed his teachers and classmates with what Flex can do. So even if universities don't adopt Flex formally, the OP is talking about having Adobe give informational presentations and such. Most universities have countless lectures and meetings not tied to specific coursework which would be great for Adobe to get involved with and promote Flex to upcoming developers.

RE: [flexcoders] Where is adobe? Come to universities!
So Microsoft is presenting at Universities, and Adobe isn't. Well, unfortunately for Adobe, Microsoft has huge financial pockets, which is the greatest threat to the Flash platform in my opinion. I'm not saying Adobe can't promote Flash/Flex at universities, but it's certainly true they don't have anywhere near the amount of resources Microsoft has to promote products.

Re: [flexcoders] Is this a performance gain?
I would be surprised if there is any measurable performance gain, especially
on just 10,000 iterations. Either way I'm sure it's faster for you to test
it rather than ask the group to take guesses.
In any case, the loss of compile-time type checking on the function, it's
arguments, and it's return type and lesser maintainnability outweighs any
possible performance gain IMO.

[flexcoders] CSS theme files sharing across multiple Flex Projects
Hi All, we have outsourced our CSS style files to a Flex theme and are compiling this file with the theme option into our application. The problem is that we can't use the Design View in the Application nor in the Modules to create our views. Currently we do a workaround and include the css files for development issues via relative path references and delete this references when we check the file into our svn repository. This works fine for the most Flex Projects, but some projects don't want to use this relative path references and the style is not applied. What is your workaround with the css style sharing across multiple Flex Projects. Maybe in the future the Flex Builder will support the theme compile options for the Design View, but till then we need something more usable. So does anybody has an idea? Regards, Christian Grail

[flexcoders] Overriding a rest parameter
I have a method in a parent class that I need to override in a child, but the parent's version of the method uses a rest (...) parameter as its only argument. Since the argument arrives in the overridden class as an array, how do I then pass that data on to the original method (i.e. super.function())? Is there any way to indicate that an array should be treated like a rest parameter? I've since solved my application specific issue using a different approach, but I wasn't able to find anything that addressed the problem above in the Docs, through Google, or here on Flexcoders.

[flexcoders] Sample works as 'Application' - fails when converted to a component
I'm trying to adapt a very fine menu component (found at
http://www.useflashmore.com/flex-as3-scrollable-accordion-menu/scrollable-accordion-menu-custom-component/srcview/index.html).
I'm having problems figuring out how to wrap this up so I don't have
to have the menu sitting at the root Application tag level.
Initially tried wrapping it in Canvas and though i have no compiler
errors I have this warning:
CSS type selectors are not supported in components: 'Button'
Though the project compiles with the declaration as:
mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
width=100% height=100%
xmlns:flexlib=http://code.google.com/p/flexlib/;
xmlns:nav=com.useflexmore.controls.*
creationComplete=creationCompleteHandler()
It will not correctly initialize - creationComplete never hits it's
handler. Since the menu extends UIComponent (public class
UFMButtonList extends UIComponent implements IFocusManagerComponent),
I tried wrapping it using that tag but that introduces a complier
error
1119: Access of possibly undefined property data through a reference
with static type
com.menus.view.components:MainMenu. myProject/src/com/menus/view
MainMenuMediator.as
which points to:

where the component is instantiated by it's mediator via:
public function MainMenuMediator( viewComponent:MainMenu )
{
// pass the viewComponent to the superclass where
// it will be stored in the inherited viewComponent property
super( NAME, viewComponent );
}

[flexcoders] How to Clear/Reset Item Renderers When the Data Provider Changes?
I have a single row DataGrid with a typed object bound as a data provider. When data is entered in all columns the handler for itemEndEvent updates another DataGrid and creates a new empty object that replaces the previous data provider for the DataGrid. Even though the data in the new object that replaces the old data provider is empty, the data that was previously entered in the DataGrid columns randomly fills one or two of the five columns that should be empty (it most often happens with two DateFields that are in custom item renderers). Though data appears in the column cell, if you try to get the data it comes back as null. Somehow the DataGrid or the custom item renderer is caching the previous data and randomly re-displaying it. I've tried setting the DataGrid data provider to null, then attaching the new empty object as the data provider, but the ghost data still comes back. Any ideas how I can clear this old data when I replace the data provider for the DataGrid so it doesn't reappear in columns that should be empty? Thanks.

[flexcoders] Loading XML in preloader/ before application onComplete
Hi, I am creating a flex application that has its UI elements and some basic data that are dependent upon a config.xml. Loading the config.xml on application preinitialize/initialize/onComplete would not be appropriate as my application preloading would be complete and I still dont see any UI elements on the screen. Creating second preloader on initialize would not look that great. I am pretty sure we can load the XML in the preloader and delay/deffer the application instantiation. Just not sure how to go about it and what API's should I look for or where exactly should I use them. Appreciate a lead on how to go about it. Thank you, Varun Shetty

When I execute doThisFunction, does it literally run the 3 functions

finally runs the third function. How could doThisFunction possibly

RES: [flexcoders] Question on calling multiple Functions in sequence
Hi,
if you just need to start and finish a function before the next one
execute, i'll have no problems, thats the default behavior.
private function doThisFunction():void
{
myFunctionOne(); // execute and wait for it returns
myFunctionTwo(); // execute and wait for it returns
myFunctionThree(); // execute and wait for it returns
}
Think this way, if you need a return for variable, you need the complete
execution of the function before it goes for the next one
private function doThisFunction():void
{
var a:String = myFunctionOne(); // execute and wait for it returns
myFunctionTwo(a); // a isnt null
}

[flexcoders] Re: Where is adobe? Come to universities!
Certainly deep financial pockets help when it comes to promoting and evangelizing a technology. What Adobe has consistently failed to do is tapping into its user base to get some help with marketing and evangelism. Lots of people are excited about Flex/AIR. Those who can and is willing to talk about it need help from Adobe. I have yet to see any signs from Adobe that they get it. They are spending lots of on various marketing programs like onAIR tour, MAX, etc, which is great. However, they are falling short on many others fronts. If you're curious, try to contact them to find out the requirements for doing a local FlexCamp, you'll know what I mean. One other thing that Adobe needs to learn is how to guard their most important asset - developers. I have seen Flex User Groups sites cheering about the fact that Microsoft would host their next monthly meeting to talk about Silverlight. I have yet to see a single MS .NET user group to have a meeting dedicated to Flex (believe me I tried really hard to setup a talk on Flex to .NET connectivity).

[flexcoders] Re: Flex PHP
Hi,
I'm using AMFPHP to perform all the database operations such as
insert, update, delete, select, etc.
In the example I'm giving, I have a report that I need to show the
user. So I'm just directing them directly to the report page using
the navigateToURL, but wanted a way to mask the variable being passed.
Doing this as a remoting call, I would have to create an iframe to
show the report in, I just feel it is probably easier to take them in
a new browser window directly to the resulting HTML that comes from
the PHP script they are running.
Thanks for the help!

Hey David,
AMFPHP right? If I'm not mistaken, navigateToUrl isn't the best way
to
go about it. AMFPHP is Remoting...so maybe use it as such? I'd go at
it this way:
Step 1: Create your RemoteObject. Obviously this can be done in AS
as
well:
mx:RemoteObject id=amfphpService showBusyCursor=true
destination=amfphp fault=amfphpFaultHandler(event)
source=tamarispa.resServ
mx:method name=myAmfMethod
result=myAmfMethodResultHandler(event)/
/mx:RemoteObject
Step 2: Set your endpoint do imports
//point to gateway
amfphpServ.endpoint = http://www.myServer.com/amfphp/gateway.php;;
//do your imports
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
Step 3: Make the call
private function callAmfService():void {
var sendObj:Object = new Object();
sendObj.name = me;
sendObj.greeting = hello;
amfphpServ.getOperation(myAmfMethod).send(sendObj);
}
Step 4: Handle the result / fault
You can basically send any info (like the sendObj in above example),
and it's not goint through as URL vars.
If you want more security, you can serialize / deserialize your
objects before you send'em.
good luck...

Re: [flexcoders] Embedded fonts + modules = weirdness
I guess fontWeight/fontName was indeed the problem, though the whole issue
is still a mystery to me. Especially the part about the problem only
affecting certain button instances. Anyhow, I changed the font embeds from
this:
@font-face
{
src: url(assets/fonts/Gotham-Medium.otf);
fontFamily: GothamMedium;
fontWeight: normal;
}
@font-face
{
src: url(assets/fonts/Gotham-Bold.otf);
fontFamily: GothamBold;
fontWeight: bold;
}
to this:
@font-face
{
src: url(assets/fonts/Gotham-Medium.otf);

fontWeight: normal;
}

A reduced test case might help.
The way I debug this stuff is to remove as many text displaying widgets
from the UI, then break on validateNow in UITextField, check the parent to
see if it is the one you want and follow its logic through for how it
calculates its TextFormat and embedFonts. The rule for embedded fonts is
that the code that calls new UITextField must be in the same SWF as the
font. Flex 3 has a whole bunch of logic that should take care of that via
moduleFactory and the embeddedFontRegistry.
If the CSS is in a runtime CSS module, there might be a timing issue as
to when the font becomes available and when the TextFields get re-factory'd.

Shouldn't it use whatever font I tell it to?
And why would it work on one instance of the same button and not
another? It is definitely related to being on a non-deferred tab because it
only happens on the first tab, no matter how many there are.

I have it working except that I want a smooth fade out/in between each image. The problem I'm having is that the image source is getting replaced before the transition starts, so the image pops to the next image and then the new image does a fade in/out. I understand why it's doing this, what I don't know is how to change it so that the fade out happens *before* the image source is changed, and then the fade in happens *after* the image source is changed. I can think of way(s) this might be done by scrapping the states/transitions approach and just writing ActionScript, but I was wondering if there's any easy way to modify what I've already got instead of scrapping it and going in a new direction. Thanks in advance for any feedback. You could try simply putting a Fade effect on the complete event of button_image. I've used this in a similar application and I've found it to look pretty similar to what you seem to be trying for. HTH; Amy

Re: [flexcoders] Where is adobe? Come to universities!
Hi all, We definitely hear you. Adobe is definitely interested in making larger impact in education when it comes to our developer offerings. We just hosted an event for universities here in San Francisco that had very good attendance. Additionally we are beginning to reach out to a number of universities to try to get Flex into the curriculum. Admittedly, we are starting small. We have targeted about 10-15 places to start, and if we are able to find success there we will be able to scale this to be a much larger effort. It's not easy, but we do have dedicated people who are really working on thinking about the best ways to spread the Flex message into higher ed. I also encourage folks to strike out on their own.

Write sometihing like this as the event handler:

Then sth. like this ...

{
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
var theXML:XML = new XML(loader.data);

Check the DownloadProgressBar doc for some more events to complete the

In the Application tag set your preloader

Loading the config.xml on application preinitialize/initialize/onComplete

I still dont see any UI elements on the screen.
Creating second preloader on initialize would not look that great.
I am pretty sure we can load the XML in the preloader and delay/deffer the

Just not sure how to go about it and what API's should I look for or where
exactly should I use them.
Appreciate a lead on how to go about it.

Re: [flexcoders] Where is adobe? Come to universities!
All of the on-campus Microsoft events I remember were official Microsoft events. Even if it was just an alumn coming back for a visit and deciding to take the extra hour to talk about their current project, Microsoft would still give them some official backing. If I visit school and want to talk about flex, I'm just a guy (that they know) asking for time. I understand that Adobe probably doesn't want to deputize random developers. But if there was a way to create an event with explicit Adobe endorsement (I thinking of an endorsement on the level that users groups get, or even less than that, maybe little more than just free t-shirts to give out), then it might be easier for alumni developers to get time and student interest. I'm sure if a marketing inclined person thought it out, they'd be better able to fully form whatever thought I'm trying to express. - Daniel Freiman On Thu, Apr 3, 2008 at 1:17 PM, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, We definitely hear you.

Allowing the user to use a scrollbar in the main window to scroll down. Is this possible (I suspect yes - but how?) and can anyone point me in the right direction.
