1. Mike,

   Looks like great stuff!

   I scanned through the article on the “JSFL File API”, and noticed that there seemed to be no reference to security for the user’s local hard drive. Without delving deeper, a casual glance at this new feature may send warning signs to anyone concerned about security. In a large IT organization, reading that article would indicate that installing the Flash Player that supports the JSFL File API is a huge security risk, and should not be installed on any user’s machines.

   Where is there more online information about how the user’s local files are safe from the JSFL File API?

   Thanks,
   Calvin

2. Oops, the above was for the Flash 7.2 release not for the Flash Resource Manager.

   Hi. JSFL is in the Flash Authoring environment, not the player. So there is not security risk.

4. Maybe it would be good to update the Resource Manager link to show it’s for Flash IDE 7.2? The version number is the same as before and it’s a tad confusing…

   It has been updated. It was .92, and not it is .93. Do you still see .92 somewhere?

   Also, it is not just for Flash 7.2, since it will work will all versions of 2004.

7. Hell, I love this app but is there a chance that you can make the window remember it’s size and position?

9. I use a Mac and while lusting after this kind of a local outside-of-flash documentation browser, came up with a rather simple way to create your own standalone docs. The files are all there, except that the TOC is in XML — easily translated to HTML using an XSL. The process is fairly painless.

13. Hi!

    Im a big fan of your program! :) And I was just wandering: Will there be an update when Maelstorm arrives?

14. In the Flash Resource Manager, the default url for the ‘latest news’ (http://www.markme.com/mxna/helppanel.cfm?category=Flash) doesn’t work anymore. What is the new ‘latest news’ url for the Flash Resource Manager?

15. If you try to add new help resources, does it matter where those folders are? Can you e. g. add a flash help panel format, that is not beneath some flash folder?
    Or does it only work with Livedocs?

16. Are there any plans to update this to flash 8 or even AS3, find that the server dealing with liveDocs is very slow, and an offline help outside of flash is really useful.

17. Hi Mike,

    Do you know of a way I could add the Action Script 3 language reference into Flash ressource manager? I know there is a downloadable version for the Action Script 2 language reference, is there one for the 3? I would love to include AS3 help in the software I use almost every day.

    Cheers

18. Paul: as far as I know there is no possibility to add AS3 language reference into Flash ressource manager.

    So if there is any – please share your knowledge. Thanks.
