Mike Chambers (12) permalink
One of the new features in Flash Player 10 are new ActionScript FileReference APIs that allow Flash content to directly read and write data to the user’s system. Prior to Flash Player 10, in order to read or write a file to the user’s system, Flash content would first have to bounce it off of a server, and then load it back to the users system before it could be accessed.

Getting method_missing, or _noSuchMethod into Harmony (3)

Yehuda Katz saw the Harmony news, and wondered if there was a change to get _noSuchMethod, which currently works in implementations such as SpiderMonkey, into the new JavaScript world of: Harmony = ES3.1++. In summary, it seems that the two groups agreed to focus cooperative effort of ECMAScript 3.1, a modest improvement of the current JavaScript that includes some new features like the ability to mark properties as non-enumerable and freezing objects (which can be ...- Brian.LeRoux said: yessssss

Katz Got Your Tongue? (2) permalink
I’ve posted previously about JavaScript 2 (also known as ECMAScript 4). Since I last discussed this topic, the debate over whether to continue with ES4, which extended JavaScript with type annotations and classes, got significantly less cooperative, and apparently came to a head at the meeting of TC99, the committee responsible for the future of JavaScript. In summary, it seems that the two groups agreed to focus cooperative effort of ECMAScript 3.1, a modest improvement ...Contribute comment -

The Initial Primer (1)
permalinkThe tutorial page on the new site is wrapped up. The idea behind this is to show a series of pairs, side-by-side. Code and window. Nothing needs to sink into too deeply. It’s just a casual reading. I think I prefer this to a tutorial which would focus on building one large thing gradually. Here, you get to scan over a wider variety. You can skip sections. And as time goes on, each little fragment ...Shared by Brian.LeRoux (3)
