Gaia Framework for Adobe Flash v3.1.8 / 3.1.9
Release Date: 09.15.2009

You need the Adobe Extension Manager to install the mxp file.

The Gaia 3.x panel works with Flash CS3 and CS4.  Flash 8 is no longer supported.

Safari Users: Right-click and Save As.


Important Installation Notes
  • 1. Save the MXP file to your desktop first and then open it.  Do not choose "Open" from the browser as some people have reported failed installs when they do this.
  • 2. Close Flash and trash the previous Gaia installation before installing the new version.  The Adobe Extension Manager can be buggy when updating a component that is already there.
  • 3. You must delete your ASO files before scaffolding your first project with a new version of Gaia, or after updating an existing project fiolder with a new version of Gaia.  It's in the top menu under Controls > Delete ASO Files.
  • 4. After you delete your ASO files, make sure you republish all the Flash files in your project after updating to a new version of Gaia.
  • 5. You should also delete your browser's cache before testing your first project in the browser with a new version of Gaia, or after updating an existing project with a new version of Gaia.


3.1.9 Quick Fix
3.1.9 is a quick fix which addresses the issue with debugging.  It now traces in the IDE, in DeMonster Debugger and in Firebug (without using Thunderbolt).  Special thanks to Drinkspiller for providing the sample code to do this.


3.1.8 Overview
Gaia 3.1.8 is primarily a panel update and includes support for FlexBuilder, now uses DeMonster Debugger for AS3, and fixes the bugs with Asset Optimization.  Also, from now on, the Gaia Panel will no longer display the donate splash screen except at startup.


FlexBuilder Support (AS3)
The panel now supports creating FlexBuilder project files when you create a new AS3 project.  There are checkboxes at the bottom of the Project panel for creating FlashDevelop and/or FlexBuilder project files.  After you scaffold, you can open FlexBuilder and choose File > Import > Flex Project, point to the project folder, and FlexBuilder will do the rest.

DeMonster Debugger (AS3)
Gaia AS3 now uses DeMonster Debugger instead of Thunderbolt.  Many people reported issues with Thunderbolt 2.2 in Gaia 3.1.7, and the new version of Gaia no longer uses it.  When you update your project to 3.1.8, you should delete the Logger component in main.fla.

Asset Optimization Fixed
The panel was failing to save the state of ByteArrayAsset optimization for AS3, and was breaking SiteView.as in AS2 with SoundAsset.  This has been fixed.

Gaia Donate Splash At Startup Only
I have changed the Gaia Panel so the donate splash screen only appears at startup.
