Known issues

Listed below are known issues for the ActionScript® 3.0 Reference for the Adobe® Flash® Platform :

  • For the best results, Adobe recommends that you use a recent browser release, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or 9, Mozilla Firefox 3, Google Chrome 6, Apple Safari 4, or later versions of these browsers.

  • To view the downloadable version in Internet Explorer 8 or 9, you must make sure to set your security options correctly.

    In Internet Explorer, set the security options by using the following procedure:

    1. Use Tools > Internet Options to open the Internet Options dialog box.

    2. Select the Security tab.

    3. Select the Custom Level button.

    4. Scroll to the “ActiveX controls and plug-ins” option.

    5. Enable the “Initialize an script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting” option.

      Note: This setting causes Internet Explorer to issue a warning about your security level. Alternatively, you can view the downloadable version in FireFox so that you do not have to make this change to Internet Explorer.
  • For the downloadable version, the packages and classes lists do not appear in Google Chrome. This is a known issue in Chrome: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=40787 .

    The packages and classes lists also do not appear in Internet Explorer 7.

    Adobe recommends that you view the downloaded version in Internet Explorer 8 or later, or in Firefox.
