FlashApe

I dont know if this is an mx04 thing or if I’ve just completely missed this for years, while I was using Dreamweaver to embed a swf into an html page I came across the allowScriptAccess attribute of the object/embed tags. This paramters controls the outbound scripting for the flash player (i.e. FSCommand and getURL) and can be set to “always”, “never” or “sameDomain”. The first two are pretty self explanitory…”sameDomain” allows outbound scripting only if the flash application is from the same domain as the hosting html page.

While checking it out on the online docs came across a few other cool ones too:

* base - sets the base directlory or URL to use to resolve relative paths
* seamlessTabbing - lets the user tab out of the flash player onto the html content
* devicefont - use a device font for a static text field.

You can find the complete list of parameters here.
