Global Navigation version 2.00 released

This is an exciting update, because it makes things easier. From now on you don’t have to think about button IDs anymore. Remember, up to now you had to name the buttons carefully in the correct manner: b0, b1, b2 etc. for the first level, then b1_0, b1_1, b1_2 and so on for the sub navigation of b1 etc. This is now handled automatically, so you can move nodes around in the xml file without having...

Global navigation for Flash and Gaia Flash Framework

Introduction My own AS2 website framework was almost finished when AS3 came out. I knew some day I would have to port it from AS2 to AS3. At the same time I planned to do it a lot better, because on the long way of programming my AS2 framework I had been learning a lot about OOP and I wanted to do it much better in the next version. But I came to realize that it would take a very long time to do it...
