In collaboration with the Moonshine.dev team, a new visual form designer is now available for Feathers UI. Drag-and-drop GUI controls into containers (including nesting), edit common properties in the GUI, apply layouts (with percent sizing), and adjust font and background styles.

It generates MXHX markup, a new XML dialect for GUIs in Haxe, inspired by Adobe Flex's MXML, but targeted at Haxe instead of AS3.

Nel lontano 2009 avevo realizzato il gioco della briscola utilizzando la tecnologia Flash e il linguaggio ActionScript. Vediamo come si presentava! #retrogaming #flash #actionscript #retrocomputing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBgQ-ca2ewM

As #ICQ is shut down in a few days I think I can disclose this now:

Long long time ago, the official ICQ client allowed #flash avatars. It was possible to use custom flash avatars (from a webserver controlled by me) by uploading a special XML file pointing to that URL using the Miranda (?) ICQ plugin.

The flash avatars allowed #ActionScript and the flash player was running as local user. The intended use case was animated avatars (I send a smiley and the avatar smiles).

I crafted a flash file that displayed a static picture (so nobody will notice its a flash avatar), but opened a http connection to my server and waited for commands. I just used this to run "play this mp3 from that URL" and prank people and never used it for something evil. Never tried to figure out what was possible in terms of local access etc. and never disclosed this possibility until now.

@ademalsasa@floss.social as a kid i loved playing with #Flash and ended up programming lot of games and websites with #ActionScript

In early 2000s i started to need server-side programming to get some data from files or databases, and #PHP hosting was already ubiquitous at that time.

More than 20 years later, i'm a PHP expert freelance dev and still not bored with it 😬

if you have any friends who you believe would be generous enough to provide some feedback. it would be awesome!
(boost the post or whatever?)

I start a "normal" job on Mon, i'm trying to wrap-up (not once and for all, but...) some of these projects before i have much less time to play.
:D

My plan is to redo this w/ Laravel, for a more robust capability. Anyone rembr "lussumo filebrowser"? It used #actionscript and .swf. but it was similar in purpose/ use case.

@ChristosArgyrop Bad news, according to this “Make Use Of” #clickbait both #Rlang and #Perl are “heading for extinction” along with #VisualBasic (and #VBA), #Haskell, #Fortran, #COBOL, #ActionScript (the language in discontinued #AdobeFlash), and #Pascal: https://apple.news/A9sb4_KhEQoeIdeulO_zfgw

The text hedges the headline’s assertion for every entry above. And of course, it cites #TIOBE.

It’s also syndicated on #MSN, which has had, um, quality control problems lately: https://futurism.com/msn-ai-brandon-hunter-useless

Made some of my first interactive digital art with #ActionScript 2 🥂 ~C https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@danielalbu/111040481231361834

🎉 Happy 20th birthday to #ActionScript 2.0!

💻 AS2 was a scripting language suited for the development of Flash games & applications!

📆 AS2 was introduced in Macromedia Flash MX 2004 which was released on September 10th, 2003!

@maxim Hey there, I'm a gamedev both in a studio and mustering the energy to work on personal projects as well.
I used to do a lot of #ActionScript when that used to be a thing.
Nowadays I do... still ActionScript! (still alive in the gaming industry for UI! 😁 ) in a studio in Sweden, and #csharp for my projects on #Unity, but in the process of trying to migrate to #Godot! (still in C# though, I don't feel that I'll like gdscript 😅 )

It's 2023, and I am honestly perplexed that sending custom request headers is still a pain-in-the-ass with some #JavaScript #web frameworks.

Custom request headers were supported by *#ActionScript* in 2005.

(walks away grumbling to self about javascript frameworks stuck on an innovation threadmill, reinventing #ModelViewPresenter, #DataBinding, and component frameworks over, and over, and over, and over again)

My ‘memories’ of this day in 2007—apparently. Thanks computer…

#ActionScript #Flash

@pbeens If my tone wasn't obvious: never.

That's a fool's errand. A windmill to tilt at. (Insert other literary references for futility here.)

See also: #ActionScript—also #ECMAScript-based, as part of #Flash—or #JScript, because Microsoft do as Microsoft do.
