[Laszlo-user] Flash 9.0.115 breaks Laszlo

[Rich Christiansen]

Hello list - we seem to have resolved the original problem.

Here's an update:

It seems that an 'optional' parameter on SWFObject has now become 
required, at least for our app. :)  Adding the following to our 
SWFObject code has apparently fixed the issue:

fo.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "always");

It's strange that this only happend in IE7 and not any other browsers, 
but regardless, I suppose we've finally resolved this issue entirely.  
(Only until today have we brought Laszlo Systems into the loop, while 
we've been battling this issue for some time now).

Anyway, thanks to everyone for your help, and here's to making OL the 
premiere RIA platform! :)

Have a great day!
-Rich
