I'm still in the process of packing and moving, but in the meantime, just wanted to let you know that I've moved the Bevel Panel components to the top of my priority list. It seems that a lot of people are using the bevel panel components, and I've received many suggestions on how to improve them. Here's a partial list of planned upgrades for bevel components version 2:
1. Disable tab selection
2. Add public method to invert bevelling
3. Add documentation (as soon as I can use CyberSage's FlashDoc software to document my code)
4. Optimize the rendering, even though it's pretty optimized already
5. Create a user-defined polygon bevelling component, so that you can create angular shapes more complicated than regular rectangles.
6. Create a component with the ability to save, retrieve, and set StyeFormat properties of other specific components on stage.
If you have any other ideas, code fixes, or patches, just let me know. I guess we're going to develop these components the open-source way :)
