TODO before 0.2.0

Code

• (P) Get rid of the AutoQuick codebase – base FunFX only on the automation API
  • Must not depend on XML file at runtime

Website / Docs

• Automate gem release on RubyForge (rake release)
• Automate publish of website (rake website_upload)
• Make demo app part of website
  • (A OK) git mv demo-app/lib/DemoApp.* gem/website/
  • (A OK) Update scripts so specs still pass
  • (P) Update howtos
  • Move rest of this file to gem/website/
• (P) More demo app specs

TODO after 0.2.0

• Refactor the awful duplication in Proxy.as
  • Different return values for unsynched and invisible
  • eval() is gone from AS3, but we can fake it… with apply and our own dotted syntax.
• Add method to get all properties of an element (useful for debugging)
• Get rid of ARG_SEP – use varargs instead.
• Use RCov and aim for 100% coverage of all generated methods
• Add method to retrieve screenshot
  • http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/11/16/taking-screenshots-in-flex-using-the-imagesnapshotcaptureimage-method/
• Allow lookup of elements from elements:
  • tree = @flex.tree({:id => ’objectTree’})
  • button = tree.button(:label => ‘Default Button’)
• Make snake_case aliases for camelCase methods (in code generation) – use camelCase in PDF
• Split PDF into 3-4 smaller PDFs
• Add method to get all properties of an element (useful for debugging)

DONE

• Put the Flex app’s ID in the beginning of the @flex_id
• Extract a Decoder class
• Turn off DOT in RDOC
• Generate code based on same code that we generate class diagram with (no longer use bang!)
