Erik, do you have the osx safe mode ? I think it can solve your problems without the need to reboot

Hi. nice for u to share. can i use this for swf files.

var file:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("air_app_assets/newfile.swf"); var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream(); fileStream.open(file, FileMode.READ); var swfloader: Loader= new Loader swfloader. LoadBytes(fileStream.readUTFBytes(fileStream.bytesAvailable)); fileStream.close(); u think it will load. and if this parent swf futher loads child files or iamges files from that same directory(assets directory) will it work

For a lot of windows users this error might be caused by 'FLEXnet Licensing Service' being disabled in the 'services.msc' in windows.

Start search box>services.msc>FLEXnet Licensing Service>right click>startup type: automatic [or auto (D.S)]

If you dont have this service you need to re-download your product.

Comment on Getting videos onto the iPad is hit and miss by Geoffrey Grosenbach

Thanks for the experimentation and observations. I'll try to debug the issue and see if I can improve the export here at PeepCode.

It's odd that some work and others don't (I use the exact same export workflow for all). And it's frustrating that the iPad ignores chapters for some videos. That's one of the best features of Quicktime (when it's available).

A little tip: I've uploaded all the iPod versions of current PeepCode videos to Dropbox. If you upload to your personal dropbox, it will see that they already have the file and will take no time at all to upload. Then you can stream them from Dropbox or download from within the Dropbox applications on iPhone or iPad. (But no chapter selection, unfortunately.)

Deleting /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher worked for me! Thanks

Comment on Screencast: How to hide the Dropbox menu bar icon by Alvi

thanks a lot, i also replaced it since it can get a little crowdy and it’s really annoying to not be able to move nor remove that icon, i just replaced the logo and the idle png’s so i can find out if something is wrong or if it actually works

Comment on Quick Tip #1 – Randomize an ActionScript 3 Array by Erik

Sometimes random isn’t as random as you want it to be. Those results look pretty typical to me.
