Creating a Killer Flash Site - Update 8: Changelog

Published May 25th, 2007 in: Flash

Lot of stuff going on here now. It's kind of exciting releasing while building, but I like it. I'm deep into the the code now, about 1200 lines written, and I guess halfway before I call it a 0.1 release (currently at: 0.0.5.64). Trying to get as many bugs fixed as possible as we go, but new bugs allways seem to appear out of the blue. How peculiar..?! However, I'm trying my best to have a running version online at all times, so a few bugs shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.

Here's a short changelog so far:

  • Added scrollbar position memory implemented using Local SharedObject. This makes it possible to restore specific scrollbar positions, while moving forward/back between pages.
  • Added right column menues with a few different menuItemTypes. Internal and external links.
  • Added statusbar reflection of LinkURLs. I think I scratched my head for two hours before I finally noticed that Rostislav had allready implemented this functionality into SWFAddress. Very cool! I had to mod it a little, cause I wanted it to show external static URLs too, not only http://mydomain/#/myfile. On the other side: Getting people to allow scriptbased statusbar writing in their browsers, is probably too much to even hope for these days.
  • Work started on the frontpage module.
  • Added XHTML valid markup is now echoed to bots.

Next:

  • Starting work on inline/floating videoplayer and imageviewer.
  • Change the component scrollbar on 'Add Comment' field with lightweight scroller.
