Most of the time when creating a new MovieClip I need to create 2 additional layers right away: "Actions" and "Labels". This JSFL does that for you. To increase productivity, adding this Command as a Keyboard Shortcut is recommended.

However, giving the user control of changing the URL address can break your site. Because many flash websites don't check for this, the user is often left not viewing content.
I created a utility class to do the following:

  • Navigate a website based off valid deeplink possibilities.
  • Enable multiple URL values for a single page.
  • Check for valid URL requests, then act accordingly.
  • Set a default homepage so the website doesn't redirect you to a "/#/homepage".

The last item in that list has become a pet peeve of mine. In my opinion, a website shouldn't auto-direct you to a "yoursite.com/#/home". It should keep the homepage URL until there's user interaction (such as clicking a link).

This JSFL window swf converts the text you input into valid ASDoc approved comment code. It's meant to be pasted into AS3 Class files above methods. The "Block" check box is meant for 1 line comment codes to separate blocks of methods / variables into groups. I also have it aligned to the right to distinguish these groups easier when scrolling through your code.
