    Would be great if there was some option like „prevent monitor/computer to stand by”.

    My monitor goes in standby after 5 minutes and if I want to watch a longer Youtube video I have to move my mouse from time to time.  

  2. # Anonymous Anonymous

    On my system the new uninstaller and plugin installer fails (get MS 'fail' dialog) on Vista32.

    Unistalling with the previous uninstaller worked but installing B3 still failed.

    Activex installer worked though.  

  3. # Anonymous Intoxopox

    A flex app of mine (flex 4 sdk) dropped quite dramatically in performance with both beta 2 and beta 3 activeX releases, but is fine in the plugin player. With the activeX player, my app will even completely freeze for long stretches of time, becoming totally unresponsive. No RTE... just freezes up. I'd love to file this as a bug, but haven't been able to produce a simplified example and my app is enormously complicated. Is there any way to present my issue usefully even without much information?

    Make sure to log all issues and feature requests to BUGS.ADOBE.COM we have QE and Engineering teams standing by.  

  5. # Blogger Ria Flex

    I'm pretty sure that the first issue (DisplayObjects with overlapping strokes sometimes disappears when redrawn) isn't completely fixed. Sadly enough no bug number is mentioned so I can't post feedback :(  

  6. # Blogger Ted Patrick

    RiaFlex can you please document the issue you are seeing and post to bugs.adobe.com. A use case highlighting the defect would be super helpful.

    Thanks,

    Ted :)

    I'll try to come up with an example.

    It seems to occur with anything (label, hrule, ...) on very large containers (canvas, ...) that extend outside the viewport (so clipping has to be applied).

    that's great
    thank you Ted :)
