Proper preloading from 0% was always a question with the introduction of components as they are “exported in first frame” thus making it rather impossible to have the preloader in the same document with the components and do a proper preloader.
The question arises again with the coming Flash MX 2004/Professional and the introduction of Actionscript 2.0 where classes are exported on the first frame by default. In Flash documents where many classes are used, it will eventually add load to the first frame, thus a longer time to download and the viewer have to wait until …

You can now save the steps that you do in Flash authoring environment, replay them for your active Flash document. “The history panel can be used to undo or redo individual or multiple steps at once.

Tonight I got an e-mail from the guys at Actionscript Heroes who are based in Paris (France) stating Brajeshwar is a part of their “Hall of Justhese“. I am not very sure of what it is at the moment but they seem to be aggregating some of selected Flash blogs. Thanks actionscriptHero.com for including me in the Hall of Justhese.

I had about two authentic users of Flash ready for the plunge but I need more than that, I am looking for a minimum of 20+ Flash users.

It might be possible but not sure again, I would love to be able to do a cascading/tree like context menu for more flexibility. According to me, most common computer users and specially windows user (there are many in fact), use the context menu a lot.
