When embedding flash movies, you can specify a parameter indicating the "quality" of the movie's playback. This generally affects whether the Flash runtime will antialias your shapes and your video content. More info here. Does anyone know the default value of this parameter? Adobe neglected to document the default value. Empirically, i...

In windows--what does Flash use under the hood? It's a relatively simple question which I can never find the answer to. Is it GDI (for windows VM implementations) or something else?

I have two flash movies, both seem to have the same embed/object params and publish settings, but one will display the 'settings' option and one won't. I would really like the user to be able to select the settings, but can't figure out how to force it to be enabled, or even find any information on under which circumstances it would be d...
The company I am working for has a flash component (using flex and cs4) that crashes intermittently in chrome, FF and IE. (so far only win32 platforms) I submitted a bug report to Adobe but have not heard anything back from them. Their support process seems like a black hole. WE can get a dump from Flash using these steps but after s...
I have just encountered an extremely odd behaviour from the Flash Player (10,0,32,18). I have a swf that tries to load data from a URL that contains a query.

Hi all, I've created a small music player with a sliding volume control. I'm having trouble with the volume. Though it does control volume properly, if I set the initial volume to less than 100%, the volume always starts at 100% until I move my mouse over the player. At that point, the volume changes to whatever the initial volume is...
