Gaia Framework 1.1.5 Update

October 31st, 2007 by Steven Sacks

The Gaia Framework for Adobe Flash version 1.1.5 contains a few fixes and updates.

Both Class Scaffolding styles can be used in the same project
You can now use Inheritance and Composition in the same project.  The AbstractPage class was renamed to AbstractInheritancePage and AbstractCompositionPage, based on which one that page uses.  The class names were changed in the template folder, as well.

AbstractPage class no longer overwritten
Fixed an issue where the Abstract Page class was being overwritten on subsequent scaffolds.  It is now written only the first time.

Cachebuster Class Fixed
Fixed a typo in CacheBuster which was preventing it from working properly.

Flash 8 now properly alerts and does not publish the project with class scaffolding
Flash 8 was attempting to publish a Class Scaffolded site, resulting in compile errors.

Asset node's showPreloader attribute renamed to progress
For the sake of brevity, the asset node's showPreloader attribute was renamed to progress.  It works the same way.  Use progress="true" if you want the preloader to show the progress of your on demand asset.  As usual, updating an existing Gaia project to 1.1.5 will make this change in the site.xml for you.

If you already have Gaia installed, the panel will notify you of the update. Otherwise, you can download it here:
