problems: bandwidth profiler bug and Firefox 3 without sound

working on a project, I tried measuring the size of the stage at runtime.
so to test how to do it, I made a new empty flash file, with this actionscript as the only content in the flash file

my flash file was 300 px wide and 290 high, and I was very surpriced when my flash traced this:
stage.stageWidth = 300 stage.stageHeight = 190

what happened with the height?
it made no sense at all.
later I discovered, that when testing my file without having the bandwidth profiler open, it traced this instead:
stage.stageWidth = 300 stage.stageHeight = 290

so crazy.
apparently Flash has a bug that withdraws 100 px from the height, if the flash file is tested with the bandwidth profiler open. I’ve tested both the CS3 version on Mac OS X and Windows Vista.

when downloading the newest version of my favorite browser I was very much looking forward to trying it. but at one point I was truly dissapointed.

unfortunately Firefox 3 is launched with a bug that disables all sound from Flash – in my case Flash Player 9,0,124,0.
i. e. this means that no sound will be heard from any video on youtube.com.
bummer.

but there is a solution:
I opened Firefox 3, clicked Tools, Add-ons, Plugins and then deactivated and then activated the Shockwave Flash plugin.
all sound was back.

another solution should be upgrading to Flash Player 10, but as this still is a beta-version, I suggest the solution above..
