Local FLABER and plugin

After the release of 1.0 RC3, originally I have planned to start the development of 1.1. However due to the great needs of the plugin docking section, RC4 will be out soon. Plugin is a very large part in FLABER. Because it allows others to develop their own

Depth Manager finished

I have finished the depth manager function already. Also finished a few bug fixes. It is not so easy to implement the depth manager actually. The hardest part is not the logic, but the interface. It seems that the components provided by Macromedia always have some funny bugs. For the

PROTOTYPE 0.3

After the text problems… is better to get back to the track. The prototype 0.3 is finally finished~~!! With the well written message box class, all the messages like system error, notification or tooltips can be shown to the user in a clear way. The function here is simple.
