If you have been using FlashInterface 1.0 for projects, you will want to upgrade to this new release. It has major improvements to the prior version. Here are some of the changes that it includes.

• Streamlined API

I don’t think it could get any simpler! (but you never know). You no longer have to be concerned with finding out the ID of the SWF to register a SWF to use FlashInterface. All the ties into the classes are now reside internally to the class. The only time you need to know the ID is when you want to communicate directly to that particular SWF.

• Global Dispatching

All members subscribed to an event receive it with a single dispatch. You no longer need to send it to each SWF individually.

• Switch On / Off public access

You can make your public functions accessible or inaccessible with the new publish function. Determine when items are available to other SWFs.

• Compatibility with Flash 8, Flash 9, and Flex 2 applications

This release has been tested with the different platforms and frameworks. It also provides examples of using it in each environment.

• New and improved examples and documentation

Online and Flash 8 Authoring documentation has been dramatically improved. Explanations on how to use the functions is now better explained in the online documentation with this new interface.

Anyone attempting to build an application that mixes Flash 8 and 9 SWFs should use FlashInterface. It has been designed specifically to enable developers to easily overcome the hurdles presented between working within both ActionScript Virtual Machines (AVM).
