I've added a multiple undo tool to WebSketch today, but it may exhibit some strange behaviour (like needing to be clicked more than once to work). If anyone spots any other bugs, please let me know.

worked fine with the first click.. how many levels are there? I felt like I clicked 100 times and it undid them all. Great app, keep going strong :D

Nice little app u got going there.......you will have a job at Macromedia in no time ;)

I thought I'd start small and just settle for putting Adobe out of business... ;)

motion2082: your site redirection code must be faulty - it sends me to your upgrade flash page every time. I definitely have the latest version running under OSX 10.2

[webguy]

yeah it did the same thing to me, I just pressed the back button and pressed enter before it could evaluate my browser again :). Also on OS X 10.2

I've found and fixed the bug that was making the undo act funny - should work snappily all the way back to the start.
I've also expanded and improved the colour mixer palette, adding a transparency function and numeric feedback. The colour mixer result rectangle (the box that shows you what colour you're making) also reflects the level of transparency you've selected so you can drag it over an area of existing drawing and see immediately the effects your colour choice will have.
I've amended the pencil and brush tools so their transparency curves off as you change it values. I 'm trying to make them as naturalistic as possible within the rather narrow confines of the drawing api.
The eraser tool has a wider size range and the pen tool now directly uses the RGBA values you specify.

bill you are a jewel man! that drawing app is going to be the bomb! Here I was thinking you were almost done, and you keep on trucking! What else do you have planned for it? Good stuff :D

What kind of format is an .sol file? Tried to open it in PS but no go.

[williamfawcett]

I think I've read that .sol is a binary file (whatever that means - all files are binary surely?) and can only be read by flash. You should be able to use getLocalObject to open from actionscript.

I'm going to tackle the horrible rewrites that a usable layer function will involve and hopefully if I can focus long enough, solve the horrible trigonometry necessary for the rotate tool.
And a redo tool of course.
And learn PHP so you can e-mail pictures as a html link.
And rake the leaves in the bloody garden.. sorry, different to do list.

sound great! Get me a picture of that garden when your done...er wait. hehe. I gotta say though, I love the thing. Less than 20k and filled with features. Can't wait to see the layers and the rest. Keep up the good work and keep us informed.
