Hello

I've been going through a lot of the samples and compiling with trans_linux. I have found that a lot of them get a runtime error only in Google Chrome (they work fine in Firefox).. Firepaint is one example - this is the error I get when I click the canvas:

Monkey runtime error: Error: SECURITY_ERR: DOM Exception 18
/home/traceydecker82/Downloads/MonkeyPro56b/modules/mojo/graphics.monkey<476>
/home/traceydecker82/Downloads/MonkeyPro56b/bananas/mak/firepaint/firepaint.monkey<87>
/home/traceydecker82/Downloads/MonkeyPro56b/modules/mojo/app.monkey<70>

Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how to fix it in Chrome?

Are you running from a file rather than from a server like MServer?

Yes, I'm running directly from the file. I take it that I need to run through MServer? What exactly is the purpose of MServer?

thanks

The main purpose of MServer, as far as I can tell, is to avoid security errors of the type you're seeing. Any local webserver should do.
