Under the strange title of ‘ A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…’ Ted Patrick has just published a screenshot of the Flex Builder 3 while loading, so two month after the public Flex 3 Beta 3 the Flex team at Adobe finished their work :)
Version 3 build 3.0.194161
 |
I’m afraid that the public will have to wait some more days before downloading it.
Remember that if you are a students you can get the builder for free.

Since Director MX2004 (edited by Macromedia at that time), a lot of people lost hope in a future version of Director. Not a word about a possible version 11 went out through the door of Adobe.
So is Director 11 a good news? Most certainly, yes, but there are a few points that let me perplex…
1) Support for Flash CS3 Professional, including files using the ActionScript™ 2.0 language ??? Seems that there won’t be any way to use AS 3.0 with Director, quite surprising isn’t it?
2) What will be the market of Director? To my understanding Director and AIR have an huge overlap in terms of market and functionalities. Why would you choose Director VS AIR?
Director is oriented for local complex applications whereas AIR is more about bringing RIAs onto desktop.
That was my controversial post of the week :) Still I’m very happy to hear that Director is back, and I can’t wait to try it!
As you certainly know, ActionScript 3.0 is based on ECMAScript language. The new edition of ECMAScript is in preparation (ECMA-262 Edition 4) and will most certainly shape the future of ActionScript 4.0.
Colin Moock is going to do a lecture at FITC about these changes. You can access his lectures notes ‘What’s new in ECMAScript 4.0?‘ or access to the ECMAScript documentation page to have more information on it. It’s also a unique way to get the preview of ActionScript future :)

I often have to deal with client that want to made some ‘small changes’ in the navigation menu. Put element 2 before element 1 and change the name or the link…
So lazy as I’m, I decided to write (my first) a PHP Class, that should handle a two level navigation. Let me share with you how to use it:
< ?php
include_once("Navigation.php");//the Class
include_once('navigation_definition.php');// Array of Nav. Element
$myNav = new Navigation($a); //Construct Nav.
?>
As you see we need to define a navigation file. This file is an associative array giving a list of information:
< ?php
$a = array(
"Top Level 1"=>array("class"=>"level1", "href"=>"test1.php", "parent"=>"no"),
"Top Level 2"=>array("class"=>"level1", "href"=>"test2.php", "parent"=>"no"),
"Level 2 sub 1"=>array("class"=>"level2", "href"=>"../nav/test3.php", "parent"=>"Top Level 2"),
"Level 2 sub 2"=>array("class"=>"level2", "href"=>"../nav/test4.php", "parent"=>"Top Level 2"),
"Level 2 sub 3"=>array("class"=>"level2", "href"=>"../nav/test5.php", "parent"=>"Top Level 2"),
"Top Level 3"=>array("class"=>"level1", "href"=>"test6.php", "parent"=>"no"),
"Level 3 sub 1"=>array("class"=>"level2", "href"=>"../nav/test7.php", "parent"=>"Top Level 3"),
"Level 3 sub 2"=>array("class"=>"level2", "href"=>"../nav/test8.php", "parent"=>"Top Level 3"),
"Level 3 sub 3"=>array("class"=>"level2", "href"=>"../nav/test9.php", "parent"=>"Top Level 3")
);
?>
Now it’s done, you can see a working example here.
If you like it, download the zip containing the Class, a navigation definition and a CSS file.
This will only work on PHP5 by the way…

I’m migrating my server from php4 to php5. As you may notice the website is weird and will stay until some time.
Please pardon the errors you encounter.
