Fleb Framework v1.2: Dinner is served!

It’s been a while since the release of Fleb v1.1. I’ve been using it ever since to build websites (here you can find some examples) and at the same time have improved it a lot. It is still the same, the PHP/CSS/HTML section has not changed a lot despite a few small improvements. What did change are the classes: I have removed every line of code I could out of Main.as and Base.as which were...

Global Navigation v2.10: suspend after initialisation

While working on the upcoming Fleb Framework release 1.2 I have made a small but quite useful update to the global navigation: It is now possible to suspend the navigation right after its initialisation just before it is transitioning in. This comes in very handy if you need to wait for an intro to finish or some assets to be loaded, and you want to be sure the navigation is in place and ready. Test...

Global Navigation version 2.00 released

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...

Minor Global Navigation update (v1.56)

Instead of having a global event system handling the global navigation events, it’s sometimes needed to have more than one global navigation setup. Even I do not recommend it, you can now do so. I had to take out the EventCentral class and implement the event handling in NavigationManager class itself. Here is the difference. (more…)

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...
