Yahoo! Announces ASTRA 1.1.1 – A Toolkit for Flash and Flex developers

Last month Yahoo! released version 1.1 of Yahoo! ASTRA libraries for Flash and Flex. Based on community feedback, they revised it and came up with a maintenance release as 1.1.1. Hence there are no new components but many fixes to minor bugs. Here are release notes from Josh Tynjala directly:

AlertManager (Flash)

  • Bug fix: Alert dialog lost focus if the user selected the text and then hit the tab key.

Charts (Flash)

  • Improved animation and invalidation of markers.
  • Bug fix: Setting axis maximum less than the value of an origin-based marker (column, bar) hides the marker.
  • Bug fix: With large data sets, line charts are displayed offset from the left, which hides some data on the right
  • Bug fix: Axis displays improperly when all items have the same value.
  • Bug fix: Infinite loop when calculating minimum and maximum values in some cases.
  • Bug fix: PieChart displays the wrong category when values are primitive and equal.

MenuBar (Flash)

  • Bug fix: Selected menubar button lost focus if it was toggled very quickly with keyboard shortcuts.
  • Bug fix: Skin conflicts between Menu and MenuBar.

TabBar (Flash)

  • Bug fix: Styles like textFormat are not passed through to tabs.
  • Bug fix: focusIndex setter tries to access buttons before they are created.

AutoCompleteManager (Flex)

  • New events
  • Added API for adjusting minimum disk space requirements
  • Bug fix: caret bug when changing selection of completion dropdown
  • Bug fix: itemToLabel bug on certain types of entries
  • Bug fix: loopSelection quirkiness
