Fosfr updated build – 7.01, Documentation section revamp
New builds of Fosfr will be pushed to google code over the next few weeks as revisions and documentation progress. Please contact me directly with any bug/feature requests. A minor update, 7.01, will be released to google code by midnight tonight, EST, along with a documentation update as well. A configuration xml quickstart PDF should be completed either tonight or by the end of the weekend, detailing all the optional paramters available via the external config file. New features in this release include:
-config xml nodes now reflect enabling/disabling functionality based on presence, attributes correlate to most public properties of associated classes. Next release will provide access to all public properties.
-loadSubSWF and shellLoader both allow for the addition of other files to the preload for that file. See Prequel documentation for proper formatting of the preloadArray parameter.
-new properties in the Navigation class: autoShellLoad, preloadInitialSubSWFWithShell
-new property in the SubLoader and ShellLoader classes: autoLoadAfterPreload. Both are addressable from the config file by the navigation attributes autoSubSWFLoadAfterPreload and autoShellSWFLoadAfterPreload, respectively.
-XMLListToArray in the fosfr.core package has been replaced and updated with XMLListTools, a more substantial class used internally by Fosfr for parsing the configuration xml file and passing the values to the appropriate classes
-changes to the datatypes of some properties throughout the framework to more strictly define values to the Fosfr core classes.
-fixed some issues with the fosfr.local property not properly disabling all web-enabled functionalities. Now, if local is set to true (through the flashvars), it disables SWFAddress, Tracking, The QueryString Object property of Fosfr, and nulls the url property of Fosfr as well.
-documentation updated for typos and errors.
-other minor revisions throughout the framework, fixing bugs and optimizing functionality.
Also scheduled for this evening is the asdoc revision of documentation for Prequel and ResizeToolkit and a new navigation structure for the documentation section.
