AS3 Gaia Framework for Adobe Flash coming January 22nd

January 15th, 2008 by Steven Sacks

The long-awaited and heavily requested AS3 version of Gaia is nearly complete. I have some further testing to do, and I will be releasing a beta for it on January 22nd (one week from today). Please email me if you would like to participate.

It's not an exact port (AS3 is a new animal), but the things that have changed are definitely for the better! These improvements will be applied to the AS2/AS1 version when the AS3 version is officially released. I'm really digging the new stuff and I think you will, too. Much of it is internal, so it won't affect your work directly, but some of the changes make development with AS3 really fantastic and more accessible to people slowly making the leap, and will have positive effects on the AS2/AS1 version, as well.

Keep abreast of developments on the forums at: http://www.gaiaflashframework.com/forum/index.php?topic=105.0

Special thanks to those who are sending in the sites they've built with Gaia. It's great to see the ways you're leveraging it. Keep em coming!
