It's done! FINALLY IT IS DONE! ... this week our book is arriving at the bookstore near you. And it's all about Flash. The first half of the book covers very interesting aspects of ActionScript2.0. The second half introduces you to ActionScript 3.0, its new features and performance boost. So keep your eyes open and check it out.
In AS3 you finally have the possibility to close a Loader request using the Loader.close() function. The so far loaded data is cached, so when you initialize a new Loader it continues. This is working pretty well.
We' reusing the FTF wordpress-plugin to view code snippets/samples. It's a really nice plugin which automatically colors /highlights your ActionScript (and even more: js, php, python). Just put some [ ftf ] brackets around your code ... the plugin does the rest.
We're actually using this fix from zeuslab (FTF w/ SWFObject).
