Screenweaver updated
Rubberduck has updated Screenweaver to 3.0.6.5 today. If you're a registered SW user, go get the goodies.
If you're not a Screenweaver user, you should check it out. It is truly the most powerful and complete tool for building Flash-based desktop applications and screensavers.
This new 3.0.6.5 release fixes 2 major bugs:
- They fixed an issue I actually reported just last week(hooray!), where multiple swInterface.init() commands were being inserted into files used in your build. If you re-build often, it's possible that you could have HUNDREDS of copies of this command in your SWF files (I did), slowing everything down when these SWFs are on the screen. This one fix made a HUGE speed improvement in my project. If you have a multiple-swf SW project, and you re-build frequently, you NEED this update.
- They also changed the SW monitor, so that it uses the Flash OCX on your system, instead of embedding an F6 version. That way it's more compatible with the new F7 projects.
I have to give Rubberduck a lot of credit. They are always quick to respond with fixes to critical issues reported on the forums.
Bravo!
Posted by andy at October 16, 2003 06:20 PMStill waiting for a fix to SW for the "Fatal Exception" error when writing large amounts (500kb+) of text data to a file. Was hoping it would be addressed in this build, as I'm not really happy about having to write frame loops to append large amounts of data.
Still, I've been happy with the product and support.
Cheers.
