A while ago I mentioned something which I presume is a bug in Flashpaper or Flash. If you follow this article for loading Flashpaper into another movie and try and load the Flashpaper file from a full URL (such as http://www.mydomain.com/flashpaper.swf) then this is likely to crash the Flash IDE very hard, at least it did so for me and some other people.
I never got to the bottom of this and instead resorted to loading my Flashpaper files from a relative URL (such as ../flashpaper.swf). But recently Neil Thomas told the chattyfig list that applying System.security.allowDomain("www.mydomain.com"); would fix this problem (where www.mydomain.com is the domain where your Flashpaper file resides). I tried it and it worked! What an easy fix to this nasty problem.
I am unclear why this bug crashed Flash so hard for me; I would have understood it if the application didn't work because of crossdomain issues but crash the IDE... nothing as simple as a loadMovie should do that.
For a fix on the focusmanagement bug in Flashpaper check this post.

It seems that the FlashPaper tries to access the parent Movie in an onEnterFrame- / interval-loop and triggers every time a security sandbox error. I could see this with the remote debugger. Perhaps it a normal inifinity loop, but in some way, propably because of the sandbox security warning, the FlashPlayer 15s limit is not triggered.

yeah I noticed this. It only happens when you use Flash Player 8. When I try this in the IDE and publish for Player 7 it does not trigger these security alerts.

For the record: I'm still having some issues with absolute URL loading of Flashpaper... not got enough time to onvestigate further but the issue seems ongoing.
