Hi, I've been trying to launch a separate Air Application through my current Air Application. Both apps are compiled using the Adobe Air 2.0 SDK.

Load-completion order affects swf code in Air 1.5 on PC only

Very strange one. Our air application loads multiple swfs, which together make up a lesson. If we load them serial, rather than parallel, the code inside all swfs is broken. (There's a previous stackoverflow q on this issue). If they are loaded in parallel all timeline top level code works. On Mac, all code works, including deeply nes...

I want to have a script at th...
