Looks cool.
Is that golf app prime time? Has a funky unhandled exception if you browse away from it (just clicking back). Also, print-map doesn't work. I realize you're not their support staff--but I am curious about the unhandled exceptions when browsing. Is that a Flash player issue or developer issue?
Unhandled exceptions only happen in the debug Flash Player. 95% of users will never see this, just us developers.
Well maybe more like 99% of users will not see the exception. Developers being in short supply and all.
Cheers,
Ted :)
phillip,
The print map doesn't work, as this is a Beta release(everyone forgets to mention that), but it has been fixed in development.
