I'm back from the OFFF and had a wonderful time. First to say, that Lisbon is an amazingly pretty city. I actually plan to come back sometime later this year and recommend everyone to visit this city.

Batch fla export script

We recently finished a pretty untypical project. The client wanted to have a portfolio site, where the "cases"-pages were so different, that they did not fit in any cms or xml structure. And since the client has their own flash developer (well, more of a designer type...) they wanted to be able to maintain the FLA files themselves.

Flash cs4 help driving you nuts?

hi there, long time no see ... but we are very busy working on some interesting projects and writing the second edition of our "workshops for flash" book.
the latter is also the reason why we are using flash cs4 more than we usually would ... and especially the cs4-built-in-actionscript-editor ... *phew* what a mess that is. no real auto-completion, no auto-import and the flash-help keeps opening my browser with the online flashhelp :( really annoying.
but there are some ways around this behavior.

Batch textfield embed settings change via jsfl

Recently we had the problem to change the embed setting of tons of textfields instances inside of at least a gazillion MovieClips. We got the FLA-file from a designer (we maybe haven't briefed enough... :) ) and wanted to use them in a lib swc for a AS3-only project. So we started to change them "by foot", internship work, damn it!

FDT Buglist: They heard us!

Great news from our favorite ActionScript Editor FDT. After we post the Unofficial FDT Buglist the Powerflasher (the Company behind FDT) came with an update to version 3.1 (which fixed some of the mentioned bugs and added new features). Some day later they initialized (just like we suggested) a public buglist. We will transfer the open bugs to them and close our post.
