Hi Bruce

Welcome!

Turns out the problem is with the length of the internally generated id. This is currently a straight combination of all the contents of each RSS item (title, link, description). It looks like flash is only passing the first 256 characters of the javascript call.

The stopgap solution is the one you've found -- specify a guid. The permanent solution is to fix how internal identifiers are generated. I've added an issue..

I expect this will be easy to fix once the current refactoring from Actionscript 1.0 to 2.0 is complete.

Hi,
  
 worldKit is great! This is just a little note from a new list member. 
  
 Is there a bug using <window>_javascript:foobar</window> when the RSS 2.0 annotation does not have <guid> specified in each <item>?
  
 My IE browser reported that it found an "unterminated string" at various char positions, depending upon which annotation point I clicked. The documentation says "worldKit generates an internal identifier" if you don't, but this seems to be a problem somewhere. So, I just added the <guid> to each <item> in the  rss.xml file, problem solved. I have worldKit version 2.4. 20051026.
  
 Anyone on this list running a Typo blog? Let's chat.
  
 Bruce
