Topic: Fixes

I was still having graphics driver problems on my laptop and now it's finally fixed... I think. I took the advice of an anonymous commenter on my blog and visited OmegaDrivers.net.

One of the few problems that I've had with my laptop after downgrading to Windows XP on my Asus F3SA notebook was caused by the driver for my graphics card. Yesterday I poked around for a solution and it seems the problems are fixed!

This problem only seems to pop up under very specific circumstances, namely, when extending UIComponent as the the document class. However, after scratching my head at this for a while I figured I'd post it just in case somebody sees something similar.

It's also unusual to see Flash player behaving differently on different platforms.

I discovered that my Movie Constellation sample app wasn't working in Internet Explorer. The movie would appear but the external XML file wasn't being loaded. The movie is embedded using a Javascript Eolas fix and since the SWF is stored elsewhere on the server, I used the "embed" and "object" tags' "base" attribute to make sure external assets would still work. Unfortunately, IE wasn't reading the base attribute properly.
