ASDoc release on November, 2011

Major changes for this release of the ActionScript® 3.0 Reference for the Adobe® Flash® Platform include:

  • Refresh right-pane only on selection, instead of entire page.

    This feature improves page-load performance by implementing a right-pane only refresh on selection. This feature improves page-load times in the range of 25-50%.

  • Improved linking to Adobe User Guides

    Reorganized the See Also sections into three areas - More Examples , Learn More , and Related API Elements . This reorganization makes it easier to find examples and usage information for a class or class element.

    For example, see the ViewNavigator class.

  • The Show Packages and Classes option is now the default to address a frequent customer request.

  • Fixes for issues associated with localization and translation.

ASDoc release on August 2011

Major changes for this release of the ActionScript® 3.0 Reference for the Adobe® Flash® Platform include:

  • Support for a quick search added to the Packages and Classes lists.

    The quick search lets you filter the content of the Packages and Classes lists as you type. This feature is not supported on IE 7 and IE 8.

  • When displaying all classes in the Classes list, selecting a class name in the list continues to display all classes.

    In the previous release, selecting a class name in the Classes list while displaying all classes changed the Classes list to display only the classes in the package of the selected class.

  • Added a Home link to the top of all pages.

    The Home link lets you navigate back to the index.html page from anywhere in the reference.

  • Fixes for issues associated with localization and translation.
