Thread: Re: [Pythoncard-users] FlashWindow and PDFWindow

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I can now be more specific about the layoutEditor error in handling the PDFWindow & FlashWindow wrappers.  layoutEditor actually creates the components fine (in the same manner as htmlWindow) but when it saves the file, it always ended up with a size of (-1,-1).  Of course that won't work properly.

What do I need to do to fix this?
