Wowza! There's a significant performance increase on my large image books (960x1080 and 640x720 pages)! I think I'll need to turn down my pageflip speed now that the animation isn't lagging along slowlike. Megazine's acceptable performance was the number 1 reason I choose it for my project, and the performance increases in the last two versions have increased it from "acceptable" to "very good" in my eyes. Keep up the great work guys. I'd like to see megazine's performance get to "best of class" in a world full of sluggish pageflip tools. Speed improvements are my number 1 desire for megazine.
I included an overlayfade in my book tag, and I can't seem to get it working. I'm using this area tag:
<area width="370" height="180" top="400" position="center" url="http://CarpeChaos.com" overlay="color(0,0.3,0xc9cada);border">
<width scale="1.5">260</width>
<top scale="1.5">475</top>
<height scale="1.5">160</height>
</area>
All these values produce the same result:
overlayfade="100"
overlayfade="0.1"
overlayfade="0.5"
overlayfade="1.0"
overlayfade="5.0"
All of them (as well as overlayfade="false") validate correctly.
When I start my book the pre-loader appears, then the blank book appears. So far this is the same as 2.0.6, 2.07a, and 2.0.8dev. Next the black page with a giant white question mark appears behind my preloader. After that, my cover image loads, replacing the question mark page. Perhaps I haven't configured my new install of 2.0.8 correctly, but I really don't like the question mark appearing behind my preloader. You can't tell what it is, so it just looks like a messy smear in my preloader.
book@swfaddressupdate isn't in the DTD yet.
As described here, I have a silly number of area tags on some of my pages. In 2.0.8dev this wasn't a problem, but in 2.0.8RC1, my framerates plummet on these pages. It seems that flipping area tags has become dramatically less efficient with the addition of overlayfade (regardless of whether or not you include that property in your mz3 file)
