ActionScript code LHASA

"LHASA Logo"

Back in May I released a very rudimentary library that I built to handle layout operations in ActionScript named LHASA. Since then, I've been improving and adding to it when I can. I use this library for a lot of my personal and professional projects. Recently, I discovered on an archived forum post that there was a known problem with Flash's Event.RENDER event. This made perfect sense since I had always had some problems with some elements not always updating when several updates were required.

I just posted a new revision that fixes this and moves all of the update triggering on to the old, faithful, Event.ENTER_FRAME. So far, from all my tests, this seems to make everything work much better. I only wish I had approached the problems I was having from this angle before. The updated version of LHASA is being used in a forthcoming rebuild of the magazine engine (example) I made for Parcom. Would love to hear from anyone who might be using LHASA.
