Does this mean, in your opinion, that Threads cannot be used reliably in FireMonkey Applications?  Makes it not exactly ready for prime-time!

Certainly seems like it. 


Well, that's disappointing, though not altogether surprising, I suppose.  Thanks for your thoughts on this slightly off-topic question.

Yes, they were in those two latter libraries.  I assume I can safely ignore the warnings?

Yes you can safely ignore these warnings.

It happens sometimes, the problem is with TThread.Synchronize (TThread.Queue doesn't work at all) in FireMonkey app

not notified that the background thread finished loading the image.

I've successfully compiled the firemonkey demo for Win32 under Delphi EX2 and when I open the file the progress wheel just goes around forever UNTIL I minimize and then restore the window, at which point the image appears.

Anyone else have this problem?

Also, there seems to be a mismatch between Strings and AnsiStrings in a number of places.  Was this deliberate or can I safely replace all the AnsiString and PAnsiChar with String and PChar?

Thanks!
