I'd like to let everyone on the list know about the latest major release
of my free, open-source, front-end Flash framework, Gaia.
http://www.gaiaflashframework.com/forum/index.php/topic,542.0.html
Gaia 2.2.0 is a major release and contains many awesome improvements and
upgrades!
First off, SWFObject 2 + SWFAddress 2.1 are now fully supported.
Updating older Gaia projects will automatically convert all your html
pages, including your SEO Scaffolding ones, all while keeping any custom
params and FlashVars you have in the old syntax. One click and your
project is up-to-date with the latest SWF embedding technology. It
doesn't get much easier than that!
Another cool new feature is queued on-demand asset loading. Gaia will
now only open a maximum of two HTTP requests at a time, which means your
Gaia site is more stable (developers have reported AS3 becomes unstable
when you have too many pending HTTP requests) and more responsive.
External pages now have a window attribute which enables you to target
which window you want to open your link in right in the site.xml.
The Gaia panel now has Site XML and Class Path validation so you don't
accidentally scaffold invalid class folder names (no spaces, no number
at the start, alphanumeric), or invalid page ids. Additionally, the
panel tells you exactly which nodes are invalid so you don't have to
waste time trying to determine which ones they are.
Gaia now has AS3 Event Metadata for auto-completion when using Flex
Builder 3.
Separate page templates for Actionscript and Timeline are now available
for easy customization (and to solve a nasty JSFL bug with removeFrames).
Plus, some important bug fixes were made in both the framework and the
panel.
And to top it all off, the latest version of the TweenMax family (v
1.17) is also included.
