After many hours trying to figure this out, I finally found a way to enable spamassassin on a Plesk 8 box without buying the PowerPack or the SpamAssassin plugin. For the record, SpamAssassin comes installed with Plesk 8 in every configuration, it’s just not “enabled” for the mail server, Qmail. My setup: Plesk 8.0 on Fedora Core 4. This is based on the HOW-TO: setup a PLESK Dedicated Server tutorial. »
Wow - so today I figured out (after yelling for a short while) that Flash’s Actionscript 2 does not make copies of objects, it makes references. If you don’t know the difference you probably won’t benefit from this article, but here’s an analogy anyway. Consider this code: var date1 = new Date(2007,0,1); // January 1, 2007 00:00:00 var date2 = date1; var date2.setMonth(1); // February 1, 2007 00:00:00 If you’re anything like me you would expect date1 to still be January 1, 2007 and date2 to be February 1, 2007 - NOPE, WRONG! »

UPDATE 25Feb2008 - Adobe has published the recommended workaround for this problem. This is another major release - I rewrote some of the code with some inspiration from Zelph.com’s onDOMload as suggested by Geoff Stearns, Author of SWFObject. I have now optimized the code to the point where all you need to do is include it in the head of your document and as the page loads, each object will be fixed, so by the time the page is done loading, everything is fixed automatically! »
