[Flash Gem] Preference to automatically save all open files on “Test Project”

During a customer visit in Tokyo today a Flash user requested the ability to have Flash automatically save all of his open .as files when he hits the “Test Project” button. I wrote the feature down thinking, “Geez - how’d we miss that one?” Upon return to my hotel room to fire up Flash, I discovered that we didn’t actually miss that one - we just burried it in the preferences.

Go to Edit > Preferences and select the “Editing” tab. Towards the bottom you can check the option to, “Save project files on test project or publish project”.

Phew!

BTW - It’s becoming increasingly clear to me, during our numerous customer visits in planning for 8Ball, that we don’t do a very good job of surfacing many of the very useful features and prefs in Flash. We’ll see what we can do about that in the future. Any suggestions are welcomed.

    I think a couple of wizards would be helpful, because each configuration steps could be explained in details (text, screenshots of the differences).

    I know it may sound stupid, but how about a section in the Help Docs just on the IDE itself - with some images, etc. For things like this. Could even be a small FAQ there or something.

    How about an online tutorial for the features related to IDE, Flash player, AS2.0, Components and so on….
