Okay. So over a month ago I mumbled something about the next few Flash CS3 extensions I had planned to release, and here I am a month later and you haven’t seen much. In case you’re wondering “whassup, dog?” the answer is simple: Clients and conversion. I got hammered with a lot of clients who wanted numerious Flash projects developed in a very short period of time. While this effectively prevented me from doing much work on my JSFL extensions, it did give me the chance to really test out a few of them “in the field.” And I have to say I’m pleased with the results. The CS3 extensions I built earlier saved me a nice little snippet of time here and there… and perhaps more importantly, they saved me the burden of having to change my focus from one task to another.

But enough about that, the real news is that in the leftover time between deadlines I’ve been busy converting my current Flash CS3 extensions to work as Flash MX 2004 extensions. This takes time, mind you, and most of the coversion work I’ve done so far is simply preparing my JSFL files so that I have a library of JSFL fuctions. This way I can port the functions over from CS3 extension compatibility to Flash MX and Flash 8 extension compatibility… starting with a set for Flash 8 and then moving to MX. So while you might not see any new Flash extensions for the next chunk of time, more are on the way and in the works. It just doesn’t make sense to build more Flash extensions without cleaning up an organizing my JSFL code library first. 

So, not much else to say on this post, other than “I’m not dead.” It looks like my time could be very well packed with another large Flash project, but I will continue to build the CS3 extensions I promised earlier, as well as start releasing a few versions of my extensions for Flash 8. Stay posted, and again, if you’re on my list, I’ll let you know when the new stuff is ready.
