#as3 — Public Fediverse posts

In collaboration with the Moonshine.dev team, a new visual form designer is now available for Feathers UI. Drag-and-drop GUI controls into containers (including nesting), edit common properties in the GUI, apply layouts (with percent sizing), and adjust font and background styles.

It generates MXHX markup, a new XML dialect for GUIs in Haxe, inspired by Adobe Flex's MXML, but targeted at Haxe instead of AS3.

Last summer, I manually scraped the entire #AS3 dev guide for #AdobeFlash, and I converted it to Markdown with some basic scripts and a little manual tweaking. I posted the result on GitHub: https://github.com/joshtynjala/actionscript-3.0-developers-guide

I’ve been trying to archive old Flash learning content lately. Maybe there will be a wave of nostalgia for that era of web games someday. Maybe some of it can be useful in unexpected ways to projects like #Ruffle and #OpenFL. It’s a part of web history and doesn’t deserve to be lost.
