Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Faking Events

[Barre B. <ba...@ho...>]

I don't know if this is possible att all...
I have had this problem when hiding and showing layers with 
plugins in them... It does not work correctly.
From what I know a plugin works by taking screenarea and 
claiming it for itself. As for instance a game does.
So I don't know if it is possible to drag Flash around at 
all, since it will override most every manipulation with it 
outside of the flash film itself...

There are three layers.
