| Hi, Version 55 is now up! This includes a fix for a C++ incremental GC bug involving empty arrays and more tweaks/fixes to reflection. I've also added a 'recursive?' param to the ClassInfo methods GetConsts, GetFields etc. to indicate whether you want *all* decls (including inherited decls) or just those declared in the class. Set this to 'False' to get current behavior. Modules: reflection - added recursive? flag to ClassInfo methods GetConst(s), GetGlobal(s), GetField(s), GetMethod(s) and GetFunction(s). android mojo - setEGLContextClientVersion now uses reflection for backward compatibility with the elderly Android set. cpp monkey.lang - optimized empty arrays. cpp monkey.lang - fixed incremental GC bug with empty arrays. Trans (v1.31): Removed yucky gc_iptr interface pointer container. Fixed bug with reflection and multi-dimensional arrays. |

| Cool! Any chance of adding a preloader for Flash in the future? http://www.monkeycoder.co.nz/Community/posts.php?topic=2406 And this also looks like a nice idea for Flash: http://www.monkeycoder.co.nz/Community/posts.php?topic=2442 |

| Any chance of adding a preloader for Flash in the future? So i take it the OnLoading() method of App doesn't do this? In my mind, adding this capability to Flash and HTML5 would be cleaner. |

| > adding this capability to Flash and HTML5 would be cleaner. Agreed - HTML5 needs this capability too. |
| ||
| So i take it the OnLoading() method of App doesn't do this? Nope, your browser needs to download the entire swf before it even gets to OnLoading... With HTML5 your resources are separate from your js file so OnLoading may help there. |

| Nope, your browser needs to download the entire swf before it even gets to OnLoading... I thought swf was progressive, therefore it would be possible for trans.exe to execute the OnLoading() stuff first. (I haven't looked at output code for it so I'm speculating). |
| ||
| Okay, I'm not sure... but I know that OnLoading doesnt work with Flash, I had code in there for Pirate Solitaire and its over 4MB is size and nothing happens until the app is totally loaded. The preloader adds another file which is downloaded first and displays whilst the main app is downloaded. |

| Oh, this sounds like a really nice update. Thanks Mark! |

| Thanks for the update! One of these days I'm going to have to look at what one can do with all this fancy new-fangled reflection. I spend too much time working on my little game, and too little on keeping up with new additions. :) |
