Software-update: KoolMoves 7.0

Lucky Monkey Designs heeft eerder deze week versie 7.0 van Koolmoves uitgebracht. Dit programma is een zogenaamde flash authoring tool en kan worden gebruikt om Flash-animaties te creëren. En met een prijskaartje van nog geen vijftig dollar is het een aardig alternatief voor bijvoorbeeld Adobe Flash Professional. Er is een Nederlandstalige handleiding beschikbaar, maar niet alleen is deze met behulp van een computer vertaald waardoor er soms wat merkwaardige woorden en zinsconstructies in staan, ook is hij enigszins verouderd. Hieronder is te vinden welke veranderingen er allemaal in versie 7.0 zijn doorgevoerd:

Changes in version 7.0:

• Added Flash 9 export with AS3 (actionscript 3) capability -- additional work is still required to get most public packages to run.
• Added a new set of components that are AS3-based -- Media Player, Slide Show, Content Pane, List Box, Combo Box, Check Box, Push Button, Slider, Scroll Bar, Switch, Spectrum Analyzer, Rich Text Editor, Date Chooser, Color Picker, Knob and a few more (Tooltip, Tree List, Radio Group, Drag Container, and Accordion) which are not integrated yet with the gui.
• Included a 3D package called Necro3D in Bin/AS3/Classes.
• Replaced many of the program icons for a cleaner look.
• Improved the action script editor environment with frame navigation, more informative error messages, an icon linked to package documentation.
• Added additional AS3-based preloaders.
• In the swf export screen, added a display of files that need to reside on the server.
• Added a second javascript approach using swfobject.js for defining the swf file in the html file.
• Added Movie Loop option in a second place under Movie menu bar.
• Added Clear Edit Buffer option under Edit menu bar.
• Added a Cleanup option in the Symbol Library.
• Added a Binaries tab in the Symbol Library accessible from the action script editor.
• Added a skinned dynamic text scroll bar.
• Added saving of Numeric Transform dialog position.
• Added full screen mode as a html export option.
• Changed default for movie looping from true to false.
• Increased a swf export buffer from 2Mb to 3Mb.
• Fixed motion scripts and web interfaces that weren't Flash 8 compatible.
• Fixed a round off problem in displaying objects on the stage with zoom greater than 1.
• Fixed a refresh problem with the Symbol Library when a new project is opened.
