    Hi there. I’m testing your example code in a pre-release of Flex 4 (Gumbo) and I’m not getting anything through Firebug at all. I’ve amended your code to use the new FXApplication class too in case you want to update your example file. Any ideas why I can’t get the example to work? Do I need the latest FP10 debug player?

    I ran it through the debug player and it looks like it’s throwing a security sandbox violation. Any ideas how to allow the external interface connection in Gumbo?

    Lee, have you tried the Gumbo example located within the latest *zip of ThunderBolt v.2.2?

    That’s not an issue of Gumbo. The SWF and the HTML should be in the same local-trusted security sandbox. For more information check out the Wiki ThunderBoltAS3: Any issues with…, which has been updated today ;)

    If you have more questions feel free to use the Google ThunderBolt Group ;)
