I haven’t made a huge number of additions to Gallery Incomplet [Note: Moved to incomplet.gskinner.com] since my last update. This is because I’ve been really busy since the holidays teaching my London workshop, prepping for FlashForward and FitC, moving into the new office (more info on that soon), releasing gProject 1.3, and all the usual work / personal things that normally keep me busy.

I’ve been meaning to post code for some of the newer experiments, but prepping/documenting source code for release is a significant undertaking and I just haven’t had time. Now that things have settled down to a dull roar, I plan to do more blogging. This will include releasing a lot more source code and tutorials (ie. real content).

There have been a few notable additions though, and I’ve done a fair amount of work updating the engine with hidden features which are described below.

Hey Folks,

I’m here to happily announce a brand new Flash StartPage theme!

Not only did we fix some of the bugs that some of you may have found with the older version, but this one looks cool. 🙂

Head over to our brand new product page to check out how it looks and to download it now.

We have just completed and released version 1.3 of our alternative project panel for the Flash authoring environment. gProject 1.3 adds significant new features requested by our user base, including:

• Locations: add directories to your project that do not reside within your main project directory. This can be done globally (for all projects), or per project. Locations will be displayed at the top of the file browser with a new blue folder icon. Network locations display with a variation of the blue icon.
• Network support: gProject now has full support for projects and locations that are on networks.
• Quick Project: this feature lets you create a new temporary project based on the front-most FLA. Great for times when you want to quickly take advantage of file browsing or standardized class creation without a permanent project. Quick projects have all of the features of full projects, and can be easily converted into a permanent project.
• Class path enhancements: the panel now supports new options for specifying class paths, including relative (ex. ../src/classes) and absolute paths. Regardless of the class path location, the classes directory will be aliased at the top of the file browser with a new green directory icon.
• Organize Library: Added a new utility menu item that will organize your FLA’s library based on linkages.
