Do we know yet what the failure was with that ad? I've seen some that get greedy with framerates, and others which prompt script timeouts, but I haven't seen ones which prevent other content from showing. Do we know the mechanism yet? And I'm really sensitive to this "hosting other people's content" issue, whether it's SWF sigs in webforums, or sites trusting ad networks which trust individual advertisers' creative groups. Same thing comes up with widgets and RSS services... when we're publishing material from others, we've got to make sure of their material and delivery. I'm on limited connectivity now and can't dig deep... if you see info on how this SWF failed it'd be great to pass along to the toolmakers here, thanks. jd/adobe Hi Vito, thanks for the heads-up.
