[Xerte] debug(), focus

[Julian Tenney]

That's another zinc thing.

 

In fact, if anyone has experiences with any other Flash exe maker, like
zinc, for creting exe's out of swfs, now would be a really good time to
pipe up.

 

I am working on Xerte 3.0, and am using Zinc 3.0 to build it at the
moment, with the trial version. It is appealing because of the Windows /
Mac / Linux output, and on the whole, I have been quite pleased with
Zinc, despite a few gribbly problems.

 

Any other recommendations?

Forgive me if this one is already on the bug list.

The debug window seems invisible to screen capture utilities.
Which really amazes me, as I thought screen caps just took info directly
from the video output device.
So if it's on screen....
? :-/
