The smallest things can take the longest time

Recently pulled my hair over something that probably is quite logical.

To get around crossdomain issues I placed a shell-swf on a remote server that in turn loads the main-swf. Have done it like that a thousand times before but this time I just couldn’t get it to work.

It turns out that i tried to set stage.scaleMode in the main.swf which of course isn’t allowed to write that property. Only the shell has that privelige.  So the swf just failed silently and it took wuite some time to figure out the problem.
