Scott, Thats quite nice. I didnt realize actionstep had asml. I also didnt realize you guys were as far along as you are. Are there any docs? I have no experience with actionstep, and the sourceforge page doesnt have much info. In other words, if I wanted to play with this, what would be the best place to get started?
One issue that I noticed was that the custom cursor thing was a bit slow. It could not keep up with the mouse which ended up creating an odd UI sensation. It was like trying to swim in jelly. Admittedly, this is on a pretty slow computer, but just FYI. Oh, one other question. How does the skinning work? Do you specify skins using XML or code or graphical elements?
