Hey all, just wanted to mention that you can follow updates to guttershark by subscribing to the rss feed that gitweb creates. There has been activity over the last week, with great updates from Oliver Turner to the layout manager. A few updates from me, and more to come from both of us.

The layout manager now has the ability to align things to the inner or outer edges of objects, and one more method was added, alignColumn, which aligns objecs in a vertical stack, but has a few good options.

I’ve also, finally added a decent scroll bar class (net.guttershark.display.ScrollBar), which doesn’t suck, doesn’t break, and doesn’t require all objects to be on zero-zero points.

Besides the scrollbar, I’m working on BaseFLVControls, which will be a really quick way to get flv controls into a player. But because it’s extendable, you can override methods that provide hooks into the various events that are causing buttons to show and hide, etc. Look for that to be complete in a few days.

Also, I don’t know if anyone looks at the decorator classes, they seem simple, but they’re really useful. I just added a new one called “HighlightableSprite.” Which wraps up over and out states, but in a simple way. So, when used, you can get over and out states in one line of code.

The examples zip has been updated too. Which includes updates to the layout manager fla (thanks to Oliver Turner), examples of the new scrollbar and baseflvcontrols, and the highlightable sprite.
