SWF Studio V3.1 Build 74

[northcode]

Added a new moniker "basepath://" which can be used in arguments that support file monikers. The value of this moniker may change as you make changes to ssCore.App.setBasePath.

Added ssGlobals.ssBasePath to make is easy to get the current base path after making changes via ssCore.App.setBasePath.

Added support for an escapeBackslashes (boolean) parameter on any call to a JScript function made via ssCore.Script. When you set this parameter to true (it's false by default) you don't need to double escape \ characters you send to JScript.

Both functions share some common code that formats long file names where the real problem was. If the path you pass to Shell.getLongPath ends in a "\" you will see a "." at the end of the result. You can avoid this when calling Shell.getLongPath but not in Shell.resolveMoniker. Fixing the problem in the shared code has fixed both commands.

[http://www.northcode.com/v3/problemitem.php?link=35] If you had a text field in your main movie and set focus to that text field using Selection.setFocus, the cursor (and the focus) are not set to this text field and the user has to click somewhere else on the interface to makes the cursor visible and set the input focus to the text field. The problem has a slightly different behavior if you have enabled a splash screen and is made worse if the user clicks on the splash screen, which steals focus from the main application window. Both problems have been resolved now.

[http://www.northcode.com/v3/problemitem.php?link=36] If you set the splash screen auto-close timeout to 1 second and your main movie takes 3 seconds to load, the splash screen was only visible for 1 second instead of staying up until the main window appears as it says in the UI. The splash screen now stays open until the main window appears, even with short auto-close timeout values.
