mProjector PC 4.0.4

mProjector Windows v3.1.1e change log

Added support for non-English paths in loadMovie ActionScript command.
Fixed problem with application's Task Switcher (Alt-Tab) icon.
Added support for custom About window.

mProjector Windows v3.1.0 bug fixes / change log

Added Functionality

mWindow.onDocumentComplete() event handler. This event is called after the mWindow.embedMediaWindow() or mApplication.createMediaWindow() has been created and finished loading the file or URL.
mSystem.getPathDelimiter() command. Mac OS uses "/" and Windows prefers "\" as a file path delimiter. Use this command once at the beginning of your code to create a global path delimiter instead of branching your code every time you assemble a file path.

		/* cross-platform solution */
		var pathDelimiter = mSystem.getPathDelimter();

		/*  replaces this older solution*/
		var pathDelimiter:String;
		if (mSystem.isMac()) {
		    pathDelimiter = "/";
		} else if (mSystem.isWindows()) {
		    pathDelimiter = "\\";
		}

mApplication.sendMessage() command and mApplication.onMessage() event handler. These commands enable you to talk synchronously to another mProjector application.
mFile.copyFolder() command.
mFile.folderExists() command.
Support for non-english paths in mApplication.getArguments() and mApplication.onRestart() event handler.
Support for flash-shaped windows to mApplication.embedMediaWindow().

Improved Functionality

Media Window performance improvements.
mApplication.downloadFile() speed improvements.
