Release notes for ASAP Framework version 0.94

For release notes of the upcoming release, see ReleaseVersionZeroDotNineFive.

Changes since release 0.93

Refactored

• ActionQueue, ExtendedActionQueue - with MUCH faster looping amongst others
• ScrollBar, IScrollable
  • Added to IScrollable: public function getStepSize () : Number;
• RadioButton, RadioButtonEvent, RadioButtonGroup
• InputField, InputEvent, HintedInputField
• Point, Rectangle - these classes now contain only the methods from their Adobe counterparts. The other methods can now be found in util classes PointUtils and RectangleUtils.
• NotificationCenter classes are now in a separate package events/notificationcenter.
• Added to FLVPlayer: public function setFilters (inDeblocking:Number, inSmooth:Boolean) : Void; to improve video rendering quality
• FLVPlayer now loads MetaData from an flv if it's present, sets its duration from it, and makes it available through public function getMetaData() : FLVMetaData;
• All getters & setters of FLVPlayer are now proper setXXX() & getXXX() functions
• The parameters inFrameCount & inParams for the FrameDelay constructor have been reversed.
• The LocalController subclasses work internally with mTimeline instead of mMc, and externally with getTimeline() instead of getMovie() or .timeline when accessing the timeline they control
• The SWFData class has been removed. The function MovieManager.loadMovie() now takes its parameters directly: public function loadMovie (inName:String, inURL:String, inMovieClip:MovieClip, inIsVisible:Boolean) : Boolean
