Here are the full list of updates in Beta 1.3:
- SWX gateway: Errors are now returned as Objects with error (boolean), errorNumber, and errorNumber properties.
- SWX Full API: Added fault handler support. You add a fault handler just like result, progress, and timeout handlers. e.g., fault: [this, faultHandler] in the call parameters object you pass the swx call() method.
- BaseService no longer shows up in the methods drop-down in Explorer for any of the APIs.
- Added checks for safe mode and open basedir (CURL followlocation will fail in both these situations), and mod_security (cross-domain data access fails with default ruleset) that alert user potential problems instead of failing silently .
- PHP 5: Fixed strict mode errors causing calls to fail (e.g. Flickr.getUserPhotos).
- MAMP Bundle: Now defaults to the correct default directory on start up.
- Flash examples: Saved all files in Flash 8 format.
- Flash examples: Added .. to the classpath of all example FLAs so they compile out of the box.
- Flash examples: Set mobile examples to FL 2.0 not 2.1 to be F8 compatible.
- Flash examples: Removed old example files.
The new fault handler in the SWX Full API gets called with a fault object that has code and message properties.
Please note that the result handler will not get called when there is a fault.
If you have never installed the SWX MAMP Bundle and you have a Mac, I would appreciate it if you can confirm for me that the correct start page appears when you first run it (I'm finding it difficult to test this on mine as MAMP is caching the value somewhere.)
I am going to be recording new screencasts for SWX Beta 1.3 before my talk at the Boston Flash Mobile User Group this Friday.
Enjoy! 
Do you know if Google’s blogger blogs are able to run php?
Can they run ‘Java language’?
I already know they can run html and java script, but what else can they run?
Hi Chris,
I’d be very surprised if they were. AFAIK, Blogger only provides a blogging interface, not general hosting for PHP, etc. You would need to get a shared account at a web host (which are plenty and cheap — I can recommend httpme). Make sure the host is running Linux and has PHP 4 or 5 support.
Otherwise, of course, you can just install a web server on your own machine and run SWX from there (if you’re on Windows, check out WAMP, and on Linux XAMMP for one-click installers that contain the Apache web server as well as PHP and other goodies).
If you’re on a Mac running OS X, of course, just download and install the SWX MAMP Bundle and you’ll be up and running in no time.
Hi Aral,
One suggestion for the next release.
Today, I try to find a way to use eventListeners with ExternalAssets, but apparently it’s not possible for the moment. Tell me, if I’m wrong.
The idea is to have the possibility to use the COMPLETE event of your class to know when the image loading is complete.
Is there any way to do it ?
Did you plan to give this possible in the future ?
It’s the same idea as the onLoadComplete or onLoadInit with the MovieClipLoader class.
It’s only an idea !
I search this because I want using tweens as soon as the images are loaded, but it could be used for many other things.
Thanks
Emmanuel
