I have always wondered what the use of the capture phase could be used for and it is interesting that they say it is more expensive, where as this practical example shows barely any differences.

Thanks for posting this!

Sorry for the delay. Thanks for posting your solution – that’s great. Glad you were able to get things sorted.

The external panel update works great! Instead of returning the fl.xmlui.settings object via MMExecute(), I’m now actually passing it in through an external update method of the panel, using SWFPanel.call(), at the very end of the JSFL script.

I’d not realised that I’d needed to register this function using ExternalInterface.addCallback(‘update’, update);

Sweet. Hopefully more reliable than the dispatchEvent() hack as well.

I’m having this issue at the moment. A JSFL Script is creating files, which takes about 10 seconds, but it still just “ends” and doesn’t let Flash know. I tried the dispatch event trick, but no luck.

Have also tried calling the panel with an external SWFPanel.call() to an update function, but no luck either.

Did you have any more insights in to this? Any ideas what I might be missing?
Cheers,
Dave
