SWF Resources Not Stopping In Flash 9 and 10

Is anyone else having issues stopping swf resources from playing when 
compiling to Flash 9/10? I'm able to stop them fine in Flash 8. Appears 
to be an issue in 4.7, 4.8 and 5.0.

Re: SWF Resources Not Stopping In Flash 9 and 10

This is usually due to permissions limitations in Flash 10. 
Essentially, any movie created for Flash 8 and earlier doesn't support 
playback control in Flash 9 and later.  One solution is recompiling your 
swf resources for a later version.

We're happy to help you track down datapath issues - just send us a 
testcase!

Re: 4.7.2 Compile Times Vs. 4.0.16

Sorry about the failure to reply on that Max. I actually was able to 
apply a couple fixes but they are not ideal.

What I previously had done was use dynamic datapaths. For example:

<attribute name="tkey" value="MA" type="string" />
<view datapath="${'xmldata:/states/'+parent.tkey+'/contacts/'}">
</view>

In our application the data would refresh itself automatically on timer 
and we didn't want to see it flicker every time it refreshed. So, to 
pool the data I did this:

<attribute name="tkey" value="MA" type="string" />
<view datapath="${'xmldata:/states/'+parent.tkey+'/contacts/'}">
<datapath pooling="true" />
</view>

It worked in v4.0.16. Doing this also ensured that the constraint for 
datapath always pointed to the right parent view. If for example I did this:

<attribute name="tkey" value="MA" type="string" />
<view >
<datapath xpath="${'xmldata:/states/'+parent.parent.tkey+'/contacts/'}" 
pooling="true" />
</view>

The xpath constraint would be pointing to the wrong parent view in 
certain instances.
To get around this, I added a duplicate attribute 1 level above it and 

Re: SWF Resources Not Stopping In Flash 9 and 10

I thought that may be the cause. Unfortunately I do not have Adobe's 
flash application. Do you know if it's possible to build a loading arrow 
for inclusion as a resource using laszlo?

Thanks.
