MoreCooler.com: It's more cooler with the thing

One of the delightful new features of Flash MX 2004 is that sometimes it refuses to save all of a file. Says things are OK, gives no errors, but doesn't actually do anything. I keep opening files to find they're old version, with several hours worth of work lost.

I think I'm going to have to start hitting CTRL-S like six or seven times every minute.

God I hate this software. Every step forward is two steps back, and their IDE sucks so hard that they actually SUGGEST you use an external program like EditPad to deal with actionScript.

The only thing buggier is Java. :-P

I was mistaken. It was saving the file. Just not ALL of the file. So now the player is calling functions in the StatusEffect code that were written BEFORE the player called them, but which now no longer exist. I have to reverse engineer what the functions do from how they're called. Ke-e-e-e-e-rist.

Macromedia can't write software, but at least they have a good appreciate for fine Canadian sketch comedy.
