Progress with Flash 9 runtime
Work is underway to to extend the compiler to know how to emit a singleton classes for views which declare methods or constraints. This is needed to support the unique feature of the LZX language which allows you to program an instance as if it were a full-fledged class.
There is also a simple debugger area, where you can type arbitrary javascript expressions, which are compiled at the LPS server and executed interactively, in a similar manner to the SWF8 debugger. The port of the full SWF8 debugger is planned.
Work remaining to be done includes porting the LFC data-handler classes, and supporting the media playback APIs in the swf9 LFC kernel.

I’m sure that’s an April Fool’s Day Joke
Well joking aside … looks nice - I’m looking forward to seeing the demos running in swf9.
Cheers!

Nice, Henry. Did I tell you that I tested your previous early stage demo of the SWF9 runtime on a Nokia N800? I don’t have fun, or I would test this app as well.
Cheers,
Raju

Bad typo in my comment: “I don’t have ONE..”

We are waiting on this release as well. Would love to see a “full screen” test (as in youtube etc) to show integration with new features.
