Re: [Adobe-source-devel] Infinite recursion

[Foster T. B. <fbr...@ad...>]

This function should only be called once, as it's an initialization 
routine. The reason the view is static is so the assemblage stays 
around for the lifetime of the application (and hence the editor dialog 
stays around that long, too). We can dispose of the stream as soon as 
the dialog has been created, so it need not be static. Another problem 
with the stream being static is that eve definition is "open" as long 
as the application is running, which isn't the behavior you want.

Blessings,
Foster
