Hi Readers, Bloggers and Friends,
long time with no new blog entries, but i was with you at any time...;-)

Flush is a tool initially written by Robin Debreuil for Flash-MX.
Danielle Ugoletti has changed it to work also with Flash-MX2004.
Today i changed it to work also with Flash-8.

Flush compiles with:
bcc32 -tW flush06

In SciTE you could declare a go-command to lauch Flush like this:
command.go.*.as="$(SciteDefaultHome)\flush06.exe" -c

Why flush?
To test Flash-Applications from outside Flash. This could be an other IDE or Editor.
If you write your code inside the Flash-IDE let me tell you the difference.
If you want to test your movie. You need to hit: STRG + ENTER(build swf and view swf), STRG + W(to close the swf), F9, F9(To get focus the integrated editor).
With Flush and Scite for example you need to hit F5 to test and your Editor has still the focus . So you could change the code and hit F5 again to test the movie again.
Be pragmatic, invest some time in workflow improvements. It is worth.
