Gaia 2.3.9 Released

August 6th, 2008 by Steven Sacks

Gaia 2.3.9 improves site centering and SEO Scaffolding, has better IOErrorEvent handling, and fixes bugs with GaiaSWFAddress and SEO Scaffolding. It also includes the latest version of TweenMax.

Site centering code now rounds to pixels
The site centering code in Main.as now uses Math.round() to round the site position to a whole pixel to fix aliasing issues with bitmaps and fonts. This code is injected by the panel during project creation and resize only.

AS3: Unhandled IOErrorEvents handled
Gaia no longer dispatches IOErrorEvents, instead it calls GaiaDebug.warn(event). This prevents the Flash Debug Player from popping up when you leave a site during a load, and also makes less intrusive during development. If you prefer to get the error pop up, you can open AbstractAsset.as and uncomment the dispatchEvent in the onError method (line 86).

GaiaSWFAddress Bug Fix
GaiaSWFAddress had an error in its comparison logic of the last branch and new branch, causing a flicker when you tried to setTitle in an onDeeplink method.

Gaia Panel SEO Scaffolding Bugs Fixed
There were some problems with the SEO Scaffolding feature. It would erase existing custom code in the index.html page, it was not properly setting the h2 title on seo pages other than index on the first pass, it was erasing the branch FlashVar on the second pass, and it was injecting the branch into the wrong place on subsequent passes. Also, SEO Scaffolding now copies any custom code on the project's index page onto all the other seo pages.

TweenMax 1.4.5
Gaia includes the latest version of TweenMax (released 08.04.2008), including the easing packages for AS2 and AS3, and the utils/tween package for AS3. It also fixes the issue reported by jmcintyre with SoundAsset.fadeTo not working.
