No more code on the timeline

This is awesome:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/timelinewatcher.html

Basically, instead of sticking this on frames in the timeline:

dispatchEvent(new Event("animationHasFinished"));

You can just listen for frame label events:

timelineWatcher = new TimelineWatcher(this);
timelineWatcher.addEventListener(TimelineEvent.LABEL_REACHED, handleTimelineEvent);

I'm so excited I don't even mind that this long line of code is breaking the formatting of this blog!

Nice one. There's also this FrameScriptManager class by Grant Skinner if you want to avoid events altogether and programatically set actions on a frame at runtime http://bit.ly/3HdUw
