Seems like event bug in Flash and AIR

I am creating a small demo for AIR in which the AIR application loads an external swf file and detect the text field details when user click on it.
The text fields can be on the main timeline and few in some movieclips (also in nested movieclips).
I am able to achive this to one level. But is the swf loaded loads another swf in side it then I am not able to detect the textfields in it.
I think the event is not generated for it.
also
when i am runniing the AIR file in flash environment (In Flash IDE) i am able to get this information
But when i install the AIR application it give me the text details for level one swf but not the swf under it.

Flags and colors not taking (seems like a bug to me)

I'm seeing a bit of an issue I am not sure I understand.
I have a folder called
"creative" with four albums in it:
1
2
3
4
If I select all the images in the folder and TAG them and add a ORANGE COLOR these tags and colors show up on all the images in the Folder.
However, /some/ of the images in some of the folders have images that are showing up without the Orange Color and in some case there are images without the Flag or the Orange Color.
This is so confusing it seems like a bug to me.
What am I missing?

Hi. The first image is where I selected all the images and FLAGGED AND COLORED THEM.
The next two images show SUB-Albums in this folder where there are images that are either not flagged or not colored...

Is this something I am not understanding or not doing correctly?

Ipad calander - seems like a bug

it seems like a bug: a whole day event in ipad calander appears 1 day earlier than the event day.
Whether the event was generated on MS Outlook and was synchronized to the ipad, and wheater the event was generated on the ipad while not connected to the computer.
New event which is not a whole day event appears correctly (whether the event was generated on ipad or synchronized).The problem occurs only with a whole day event.

I've just tried to replicate this on my iPad and it works correctly rather than as you indicate. I believe that if you use mobileme and the birthdays calendar then from memory it either used to or still does add the birthdays a day before the actual date.

Bluetooth seems like working since last week and at the same time I can't manage the Wi-Fi

Bluetooth seems like working since last week and at the same time I can't manage the Wi-Fi. I have already restored.

This entire thing is a hair over four months old, I don't think it should be acting up this much. Plus, this problem happens only once out of every 40 or 50 times I start this thing up. It's very infrequent, but it's there, and it just bothers me, I guess.
That said, I would try reinstalling, but I wouldn't be able to tell if it'd worked unless the problem never cropped up again in a long, long time. Sadly I also don't have access to my OSX discs at the moment (I'm out of the country).

Problem with adobe flash and air always upsampling 2.1 to 5.1

I have a weird issue, tnat I have searched most places for
When ever I am watching or listening to a flash video in Firefox or IE the stereo audio is always upsampled to 5.1 on my speaker system. This also affects my adobe air program which I use to run Pandora One. It is very annoying to always have to switch to 2.1 for anything flash based than back again for everything else that processes 5.1 propeerly.
If any one has any suggestions to try I am all ears,
Thanks

This issue was a byproduct of a fix we made back in 11.3, but I agree that we should reexamine this issue and come up with a better solution. Could you take a minute and add your comment/vote to the following bug report?

Flash and Air not working....

Hey guys how are you?
First of all thanks for your help!
I have Flash CS3 and I installed Adobe Air.... I did all the
updates and everything looks fine..... When I create an Adobe Air
file on Flash and save the file everything looks good..... but when
I try to test the aplication or debug the movie Flash stop working.
I already add the script line from the adobe site (trace("Running
AIR application using Debug Movie");) but nothing works! When I try
to re-open the file Flash crashes again..... Does anyone have any
idea why is this going on?
Thanks!

Hi,
My take is , is your autopromote tuned on for the room. I mean whats
your user role when an user enters the room(who is not host), is it 10
or 50. If its 10 i.e. viewer , then he cant use his own cam etc. You
need to take a look at the logs when an user enters and if its 10 and
you want to give him these permissions, turn autopromote on from the
devconsole for the room to make his role 50 i.e. publisher.
I just now downloaded 2.5.1 AIR and created a new project with your
source and I am able to use everything.
Thanks

Difference between Flash And AIR

Hi,
Actually, What is the difference between Flash and AIR

At a very high level, Flash Player is a plugin used by browsers to display Flash content typically hosted on a server. AIR is a runtime that displays a superset of Flash Player content, but does so in an application format installed on the users system or device. In addition, there are differences in how the two interact with the file system and security policies.

I am based in South Africa, and it seems like we cannot purchase songs and movies from iTunes. any suggestions on how to by-pass this seemingly boycott of South African users?

I am based in South Africa, and it seems like we cannot purchase any music or movies from itunes. Apparently it is not supported by our itunes store, what ever that might mean. Unfortunately the staff in all of the i-shops in South Africa are pretty much unhelpfull, unlike the service i received while in the US. Any suggestions on how to by-pass this seemingly boycot of the South African users?

To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. Basically all you have access to would be anything offered in South Africa unless you move to a different country.
It's the media owners who get to tell Apple where and where they cannot sell their media. I'm sure Apple would be happy to take your money but if the media companies are not happy then they can say no to sales in SA.
Even if there were a way to bypass this we certainly couldn't tell you on this forum because it would violate the Terms of use of this web site and get the whole topic removed.

UWC/CE 6.3 and Access Manager 7.1 SSO sometimes fails (seems like a bug)

PREAMBULA: I started writing this post thinking that our AM SSO setup was at fault in some step. As I was gathering data, checking the doc-links and config files and finally sniffed the servers for HTTP dialogs, I grew pretty sure there's a bug in UWC/CE, AM SDK or Web Server Policy Agent, whatever implements the AM SSO session checking.
In short, as written below, our "sunmail" server can POST a broken cookie to AM server, if the cookie originally contained a "plus" character. The "plus" is replaced by a "space", invalidating the session check. As we know, "+" is often used in URLs to "escape" the space character. Perhaps some URL cleanup routine backfired here. I have double-checked, it is not the reverse proxy on "psam" breaking things. It is "sunmail" (UWC/CE or Policy Agent, don't know for certain) supplying the broken request. On the few occasions when the AM cookie contains no "plus" characters, the SSO works like a charm (also checked by a sniffer). Whenever there is a "plus", it breaks.
Is there some known bug or workaround that matches this description?
Nevertheless, for completeness' sake I kept the description of our setup. Maybe it's at fault after all :)
We have an installation of JCS5 with the latest patches as of early July 2008. And as the subject implies, we have problems with AM SSO in UWC/CE web-interface. I have reported them before, then they seemed fixed (not occuring for several tests in a row), but as time has shown, something wrong is still there.
So I'll try to go into deeper detail now, as we've may have overlooked some nuance... Then again, as my sniffer research below shows, this may be an engine bug and these setup details are irrelevant.
Our setup is split into several Solaris 10 full-root zones hosted on several servers, some of the components are enroute to HA (perhaps we made some mistakes on this part of the way?)
So, we have the following software stack:
1) two MMR Directory Servers (DSEE 6.3 = DSEE 6.2 from JCS5 + 125278-07__DSEE_6.3__x86x64 + 125277-07__DSEE_6.3__x86_sol9 patches) working in zones on two different servers. Except for one time when a manually forced ZFS rollback corrupted one of the server instances, no problems here.
2) two zones with Directory Proxy Servers (6.3, exact versions as above) running at port 389 provide the clients with an illusion that they have a stable Directory Server, even if one of the actual servers is currently rebooting ;)
These DPS zones are hosted on two different servers as well and are primarily used by LDAP clients (JCS components) running in other zones on the same respective servers.
3) A zone with Sun Web Server 7.0U1 and Access Manager 7.1 (+ 126357-01__AM71_x86 patch) and Delegated Admin 6.4-4.01 (from JCS5 + 121582-18__COMMCLI64__x86 patch).
At the moment there is one such zone (named "cos-psam-01.domain.ru" in the logs below), but we expect(-ed) it to become two similar zones as per AM HA setup.
Zones listed in (1-3) use private IP numbers, they belong in our internal DMZ.
Zones listed in (4-5) below use public (routed) IP numbers, they belong in our external DMZ.
4) A zone with Sun Web Server 7.0U1 used primarily as a reverse-proxy server (optionally with a load-balancer libpassthrough.so plugin) successfully used for other hosted projects. One of its configurations now passes connections from an externally routed IP address published as "psam.domain.ru" to "cos-psam-01.domain.ru", per AM HA setup, so HTTP clients believe they work with an Access Manager instance. This zone has a backend interface with a private IP address to communicate with the actual AM instance.
In AM configuration (both LDAP and file-based) we have configured a site ID with the publicly known name and mentioned both names (psam and cos-psam-01) in organization's realm/dns aliases.
5) A zone with the rest of the Sun Java Communications Suite 5, as in Messaging Server 6.3 (6.3-6.03 64-bit: ci-5.0-1.03_solx86_x64__Messaging_Server_6.3-2 + patch 126480-09__MSG63__x86-64), UWC/CE 6.3 (from JCS5 + 122794-17__UWC63-4.01_core__x86), Instant Messaging 7.2 (from JCS5 + 118790-29__IM72__x86-1 + 118787-28__IM72__x86-2), Calendar Server 6.3 (from JCS5 + 121658-28__iCS63__x86). The web-components (UWC/CE, IM, /httpbind) are deployed in a Sun Web Server 7.0U1 as well.
This zone is named "sunmail.domain.ru" and has a routed IP address for direct external access to its servicess.
The AM SDK part is also patched (126357-01__AM71_x86); it points to the load-balancer name ("psam.domain.ru") as an actual AM server.

While setting up this server set we tried to use AM SSO as the user login method, but it works unreliably.
"Unreliably" means that while most of the time entering a correct uid and password in Access Manager login page ("http://psam.domain.ru/amserver/UI/Login") does redirect a user back to "http://sunmail.domain.ru/uwc/auth" along with a new cookie, and the user is redirected again to his or her mailbox, sometimes the user receives the UWC/CE login page. Entering the same uid and password here does log him in, but it breaks the whole point of SSO and only increases the end-user routine required to log in :\
We have also seen the "missing mail tab" problem - if the users point the browser to any hostname different from "sunmail.domain.ru" (i.e. www.mail.domain.ru which is equivalent in DNS), they have only the Address book, Calendar and Options tabs; no webmail. So far this is resolved by Policy Agent forcing The One name of the server.
Here's the configuration we did specifically for AM SSO:
1) in AMConfig.properties of "sunmail" and "cos-psam-01" we set up
com.iplanet.am.cookie.encode=false
am.encryption.pwd=<the same value>
all hostname-related parameters point to "psam.domain.ru"
2) in AMConfig.properties of "cos-psam-01" a number of FQDN equivalence entries are added (so it does not redirect to a server hostname unknown to visitors):
com.sun.identity.server.fqdnMap[publicname-or-ip]=psam.domain.ru
com.sun.identity.server.fqdnMap[cos-psam-01.domain.ru]=cos-psam-01.domain.ru
3) in "msg.conf" on "sunmail" (entries added via configutil):
local.webmail.sso.amcookiename = iPlanetDirectoryPro
local.webmail.sso.amnamingurl = http://psam.domain.ru:80/amserver/namingservice
local.webmail.sso.singlesignoff = yes
local.webmail.sso.uwcenabled = 1
service.http.ipsecurity = no
(perhaps some more options are required? Looking for confirmation about: local.webmail.sso.uwclogouturl local.webmail.sso.uwccontexturi local.webmail.sso.uwchome service.http.allowadminproxy )
4) Configured Web Policy Agent for Sun Web Server, so that users without an AM session are required to get one. Set up per [http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/AM_redirection_using_Policy_Agent], except that com.sun.am.policy.agents.config.notenforced_list points to the many names our server can go known by.
5) Updated the logout URL in /opt/SUNWuwc/webmail/main.js:

}6) Calendar SSO - per docs...
According to ngrep sniffing,
1) the browser goes to "http://sunmail.domain.ru/uwc/auth" without any cookies
2) receives a redirect and goes to "http://psam.domain.ru/amserver/UI/Login?gotoOnFail=http://sunmail.domain.ru:80/uwc&goto=http%3A%2F%2Fsunmail.domain.ru%3A80%2Fuwc%2Fauth"; sends no cookies either.
3) The first response from the "psam" server (as redirected from "cos-psam-01") sets a few cookies while rendering the login page:
Set-cookie: JSESSIONID=7EF8F2810D2071CA03CFEAE9972735B2; Path=/
Set-cookie: AMAuthCookie=AQIC5wM2LY4SfcwuT2ASCrsfO78nXdceEHXeH1+xTqH7C3I=@AAJTSQACMDI=#; Domain=.domain.ru; Path=/
Set-cookie: amlbcookie=02; Domain=.domain.ru; Path=/
4) The browser requests the login page resources (javascripts, images, etc) using these cookies, as in this header line:
Cookie: JSESSIONID=7EF8F2810D2071CA03CFEAE9972735B2; AMAuthCookie=AQIC5wM2LY4SfcwuT2ASCrsfO78nXdceEHXeH1+xTqH7C3I=@AAJTSQACMDI=#; amlbcookie=02
5) The browser POSTs the login request to "/amserver/UI/Login" and receives a redirection to http://sunmail.domain.ru:80/uwc/auth
Set-cookie: iPlanetDirectoryPro=AQIC5wM2LY4SfcwuT2ASCrsfO78nXdceEHXeH1+xTqH7C3I=@AAJTSQACMDI=#; Domain=.domain.ru; Path=/
Set-cookie: AMAuthCookie=LOGOUT; Domain=.domain.ru; Expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:10 GMT; Path=/
6) The browser requests "http://sunmail.domain.ru/uwc/auth" using the newly set cookie (looks like the old one to me though):
Cookie: amlbcookie=02; iPlanetDirectoryPro=AQIC5wM2LY4SfcwuT2ASCrsfO78nXdceEHXeH1+xTqH7C3I=@AAJTSQACMDI=#
7) The "sunmail" web-server checks the AM session validity with the same "psam.domain.ru". It sends a series of POSTs to /amserver/namingservice:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<RequestSet vers="1.0" svcid="com.iplanet.am.naming" reqid="685">
<Request><![CDATA[

<GetNamingProfile>
</GetNamingProfile>
</NamingRequest>]]>
</Request>
</RequestSet>(receives a large XML list of different Access Manager configuration parameters and URLs)
...then a double-request to /amserver/sessionservice:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<RequestSet vers="1.0" svcid="Session" reqid="686">
<Request><![CDATA[

</SessionRequest>]]>
</Request>
</RequestSet>As a result it receives an XML with a lot of user-specific information (the username, LDAP DN, preferred locale, auth module used, etc.)
!!!*** Now, the problem part ***!!!
8) And then "sunmail" POSTs a broken cookie to "psam" (note the space in mid-text, where the "plus" sign was previously). As we know, "+" is often used in URLs to "escape" the space character. Perhaps some URL cleanup routine backfired here.
I have double-checked, it is not the reverse proxy on "psam" breaking things. It is "sunmail" (UWC/CE or Policy Agent, don't know for certain) supplying the broken request. I looked over the large XML responses to the two previous requests, whenever they mention the session cookie value, the "plus" is there.
For the most detail I can provide, I'll even paste the whole HTTP packet:

There have been a few reports of the same behaviour with other customers - specifically with the handling of the encoding of "+" characters to " ". It relates to how cookie encoding/decoding is performed (as you have already observed).
The solution for these customers was the following:
=> AM server/client side:
Ensure that com.iplanet.am.cookie.encode=false in AMConfig.properties and AMAgent.properties on all systems.
=> AM client (UWC) side:
- Set <property name="encodeCookies" value="false"/> in /var/opt/SUNWuwc/WEB-INF/sun-web.xml. This will prevent UWC from trying to urldecode the cookie it receives and therefore stops it turning the + into a space e.g.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Problem with full event seems like a bug

Hi,
I had a requirement like this, there are two text fields say Textfield1 and Textfield2 and if Textfield1 is full it should automatically go to textfield2 and fill the characters typed from the keyboard. I had implemented this by using full event. If Textfield1 is full change focus to Textfield2.
Now I have come across very strange issue i.e., the last character that I enter in Textfield1 is not going to Textfield2. Its because full event is triggered at the key in of the last character.
Tried other alternatives didnt work.
Guys, Now I dont understand is this correct. Anybody came across the same issue.
Thanks for all you do.

Yes I used this script
xfa.host.setFocus("TextField2"); in my full event. However I was able to resolve the issue by using newText and limiting the length to 50.
Now I come across a different issue i.e., it doesnt work if I enter all uppercase letters in the TextField1.
Reason being the characters count differ for uppercase and lowercase. Not sure how to handle this.
Also, I expect full event can be a solution in this case, however If I use full event and change the focus to new textfield the last key stroke gets lost.
Any help on this would be highly appreciated..

Music files missing? Seems like iTunes bug...

I recently noticed that many of my music files are missing, and that the selection appears to be somewhat random. They are retained in iTunes, but have the ! next to them. So, doing the logical thing, I tried to locate them, and the files themselves are missing, but their iTunes link is preserved.
In an effort to continue to do the logical thing, I then systematically went through my CD library, re-loading all the missing material back into iTunes. This was extremely tedious, but appeared to fix most of the issues (obviously, the ones were the CD case was mysteriously empty were left unfixed). The files played fine at that time. Then I carried the computer upstairs to my home office, where I proceeded to plug it in to do a time machine backup on the newly transferred files.
Now here's where it gets really strange... The time machine backup went swimmingly without hitches, to a relatively new USB 3.0 drive. I then set about organizing the music, so that it would all be in the iTunes music folder (User(me)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/ directory, the one automatically made by iTunes on installation). Many of the songs linked perfectly, and I didn't have to re-link the songs to their new location, as one might expect. So, I then thought I would sit down to enjoy this new library that I had spent a day bringing up to speed and organizing again. And, low and behold, songs are missing--again. Not just the ones that I couldn't replace, but some of the newly replaced ones. For example, Track 12 of an album might be missing, but the files for Tracks 1-11 and 13+ are all present.
As other people who have experienced this problem previously have noted, there does seem to be a slight preference for songs whose artist and/or title include accented characters, although my detection ability is more limited now, as I have since lost many of these original CDs, and so the songs were not replaced within the library. But, while they account for about 5-10% of my overall library, they accounted for about 50% of the songs missing at the beginning of yesterday's overhaul.
And what makes matters really strange is that when I tried to look up the missing files--which I know myself to have imported yesterday--in the fresh time machine backup I made right after importing all that music, they are all missing.
So, it appears that iTunes is systematically deleting files at random. While I'm tempted to try to put the missing ones back on (fewer are "re-missing" than I was able to replace, so it's a little better), this doesn't exactly seem fruitful, given the fresh deletions.
The original music files were encoded a long time ago, and have been copied and re-copied (and recopied... ad infinitium). It appears that everything that I encoded on the really old system (before iTunes really became popular for this sort of thing) were preserved; however, the issue seems to temporally localize around the time I started using iTunes for most of my music encoding needs (except, of course, for the little issue about files that were imported less than 24 hours ago).
A few other notes:
- I did not delete these files accidentally. I'm more careful than that.
- The files are not there (they're not just hidden--I already checked for this).
- iTunes has retained the link to where it believes the file should be.
- The issue appears to have originally arisen quite some time ago, as these files are systemically missing from all backups made by time machine. However, it wasn't all that long ago that I deleted my entire library and started over (about 2 years, so the files should have been natively present on 2 of my macs) by re-importing all the files in my music folder. This newly created library has since become the "master" library that is propigated to all my other computers (although I don't trust iCloud for obvious reasons, given this fiasco--Thanks, Apple...)
- I have not elected to have iTunes manage my music folder, or automatically copy things to the iTunes music folder when importing (although this is the default destination, so they are imported there, but not duplicated there when imported from elsewhere on the hard drive).
- I am currently running OS X 10.6.8 on an Intel Mac (yeah, yeah, I'd upgrade the OS, but software that cost more than the computer isn't 10.8--or even 10.7--compatible).
If anyone has any thoughts on how to prevent this issue in the future, I'd really appreciate it. I think the music files themselves are just... gone. But, I would like to be able to have them stick around for a bit when I get around to dedicating another day to trying to import them from their CD.
Does anyone know a piece of third party software that allows you to sync and update iDevices? Hopefully one that doesn't take over my music library and decide to delete things of its own accord?

I was lucky to be able to use a PC, that after trying numerous times actually read the external hdd, I quickly copied all files over to a backup hdd and recovered all files. After that I ended up in contact with Western Digital about the incident and they recommended to completely erase (7-pass erase) of the hdd, which ended up taking over 5 days to do. They gave me no reason as to "Why" it would have happened but if I erase and reformatted of the hdd and the problem reoccurred they recommended to get the unit replaced.
I was lucky to recover all my files.....keep trying on different computers if you can, and copy what you can get hold of. The 7-pass erase will delete pretty much every trace of information on the hdd with no chance of recovery.
So far since the incident its been running ok but I not longer trust the hdd to be stable. Not a simple nor quick process / solution I'm afraid.
Good luck!
Once you have recovered your files (or as many as you can get hold of) and ready to erase the hdd:
(THIS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP BEFORE PROCEEDING)
Connect the drive directly to the Mac, open Disk Utility.
Select the drive and click on the "Erase" tab Select the "7-times zeros" to completely erase the drive.
Once the erase have completed format the drive to your selection.

Why does a feature of CFLOCK seem like a bug?

I searched this forum for discussions about cflock
and read the livedocs at
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=sharedVars_20.html.
This reading is on top of me thinking I already knew
everything about using the cflock tag.
Apparently, I am not understanding a very critical
aspect of the cflock tag when locking the session scope.
My issue is regarding one user, one session, multiple
and concurrent requests arriving at the CF8 server
from the same user session.
Meaning, a web page that uses ajax, frames, pop-ups,
or the user hitting ctrl-n, will generate multiple
requests to the CF8 server using the same session.
Based on my understanding, using type="exclusive" will
effectively single-thread the access to code between
the lock tag. So my question is:
Why doesn't <cflock scope="session" type="exclusive" ...
>
single-thread the access to the code between the cflock
tag?
If you are kind enough to respond, I would really
appreciate an explanation why the current behavior
in CF8 is the more correct behavior. If the scope
is changed from session to application or server, it
will infact single-thread the access/execution.
So why is this not the case when the scope is session?
I arrived at this problem because I was trying
to explain to someone the difference between:
<cflock scope="session" type="exclusive" ... >
and
<cflock scope="session" type="readOnly" ... >
Based on my simple test and what I'm seeing, I discovered
I myself don't know the difference!
I know how to re-write the code to do exactly
what I want to do. I just can't seem to wrap
my head around why the cflock tag is implemented
this way (with respect to session and exclusivity).
However, it is more likely that I have a bug in my
simple test code...?
If you're interested, here's the code I used to
confirm/test my assumption:
Thank you for reading this post to the end!

Please be sure that I am very grateful that you both
are responding to my post. I am having difficulty
articulating exactly the issue since it may be a
feature of the CFLOCK tag and not a bug.
I thank you for being patient.
> You don't actually say what you're seeing to
> suggest that it's not working to spec.
What I'm seeing (with respect to the session scope
and exclusivity) is that the CFLOCK tag is not
behaving as documented in livedocs.
In particular, I'm referring to this statement in
livedocs:
"Exclusive - Allows single-thread access to the CFML
constructs in its body. The tag body can be executed
by one request at a time. No other requests can start
executing code within the tag while a request has an
exclusive lock. ColdFusion issues exclusive locks on
a first-come, first-served basis."
It occurred to me that it would be somewhat trivial
enough to prove this statement as being true. My
attached code was the beginnings of my attempt to
actually see single-threading at work.
However, what I actually observed was that this statement
from livedocs is actually false when using scope="session"
and type="exclusive".
Meaning, it did NOT "single-thread access to the CFML
constructs in its body".
> I don't see anything to suggest what you're seeing.
> ... I don't know what your evidence is to suggest
> anything's wrong
My attached code is the beginnings of an attempt to
gather some evidence. I was attempting to cause the
first request/browser to simulate a process that
takes 30 seconds. While the first request is performing
it's 30 second long process, I caused the second request/
browser to simulate a process that takes zero seconds
to perform.
My expectation was that the second request/browser will
not have an opportunity to begin processing since
the first request is holding an exclusive lock.
What I actually observed was that second request was
able to perform/continue without waiting or being blocked.
However, when I changed the scope from session to
application or server, I finally did observe the second
request waiting/being blocked. If I switch the scope back
to scope="session", the second request continues without
waiting/being blocked.
It is really hard for me to believe that there is a bug
here. I really do think that someone went out of their
way to allow this feature. I just wish I knew the rational
behind allowing this feature (and yet NOT documenting this
abnormal behavior in livedocs).
Thank you again for responding and taking the time to
modify and run my sample code (code must be modified
to experience the abnormal behavior). I did take note
of your mention that you experienced some "interesting"
behavior.

Dropped frames from XDCAM EX HD (1080/24p) - Seems like a bug in FCP 6.

We're editing XDCAM EX HD (1080/24p) using the built in easy setup and dedicated built in drives as scratch disks. We have run all software updates and have the latest builds of final cut...
We keep on experiencing dropped frames on playback, but only on our NEW 8 core Mac Pro not on any of our other Mac's including our MacBook's.
Through a painful process of elimination, we found out that if you go to System Settings/Playback Control and you switch Gamma Correction from Accurate to Approximate it solves the problem. We have no idea why and would love an answer from Apple on this.
Moreover is this a bug or do we need to amend something on our system. As a note we've already matched pairs on the RAM and done all the other obvious stuff.
Regards
Daniel

Having the same issue with same format footage (1080/24p), the proposed solution works (a little). I can definitely playback a longer duration but it still drops frames. Even when putting a filter on and rendering it still drops frames.

Flash and AIR iOS Render Mode

Discovered when I add video to my project I have to use GPU Render Mode to play the video smoothly. But this causes any Filters I've applied to text objects to disappear. Tried numerous ways of correcting including cacheAsBitmap... doesn't work. On some of my MovieClips I've checked ExportAsBitmap and that does work.
Any suggestions to find a medium in both worlds?
Video to play correctly and text objects with Filters applied to them.
Testing on my iPad.

I've heard and its been my experience that GPU shouldn't be used when dealing with video.

Seems like my magsafe 2 overheated and stopt charging the computer. What should i d? Will apple replace it by warranty? Got thi mac 2 months ago.

HElp

Take it in to your nearest Apple Store: https://www.apple.com/retail/ they will be able to help you out. If you purchased it two months ago they will more than likely replace it no questions asked.

Seems like event bug in Flash and AIR
