[Extendflash] WindowSWF: Wrong Panel Opens!

[Ibis Fernandez]

Yep this was a bug in mx2004… it seems like they had fixed it in version
7.2…
 
Anyways if I remember correctly it has to do with a config file that gets
generated when you run flash that lists all your installed extensions and
such…this config file is provably also supposed to be updated when ever an
extension is installed…
 
I haven’t done this in a while but im pretty sure its either “first run.log”
file or “panelsets.xml” file (or both) that you have to get rid of… I guess
sometimes when you install a new extension, the extension manager fails to
update these files and so you end up with some screwed up mapping. At least
that’s the way I understood it to be…
 
Any who, when you restart flash, it will do an audit and if these files
aren’t present, it will just regenerate them and fix your problem.

Checked the paths for duplicate swfs, removed/reinstalled the extension many
times, renamed the extension, everything I can think of but no luck. Seems
that this is a result of having the NetConnection Debugger and webservice
inspector installed as it opens the panel fine on my designer's box without
remoting installed.
 
Figured maybe I could write a Command to launch the swfPanel...haven't
figured out a way to manage that yet though...any ideas appreciated.

I find that disabling/enabling or removing/adding the extensions in the
Extension Manager *sometimes* works.

This was actually a flaw in Flash 7 too.

>>From what I can make of it: 
Adding a Panel creates an index in the configuration data for the author.
So the existance of that panel in the user directory and the Flash
program directory confuses the option choice.

Make sure that your not retaining 2 copies of that added panel. 
On Windows:
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash
8\en\Configuration\WindowSWF

and:
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\First Run\WindowSWF
