ok, non-WIP versions of fileOpen.xas, virtualKB.xas, and TextEditor.xas have been posted to the following thread:
Pinned::Actionscripts Collection

of course, if you are a WIP tester, and want to use the scripts, you'll have to modify them. you only have to modify the Input code. it should be fairly easy to modify to use StringInput instead of my keyboard.

if you have problems with the scripts or want to ask questions, please return here.
thanks.

Very cool

Problem:
-Deleting last blank line and saving actually deletes last line of text.

Thoughts:
-In the keyboard, use Left Trigger + left/right to move cursor
-Assign one of the freed buttons to delete
-Help (START) doesn't work
-Move kb a bit higher

-If possible, integrate keyboard into the main screen, so that 'edit line' is no longer required
-You might be able to use the builtin keyboard fo that.  Pressing Right Trigger+Y activates/deactives it (supposed to, but doesn't work right now)  However, you can still activate it from the script

wow. I'm extremely impressed, finally a working text editor, I find it funny though that a dashboard did it before a standalone app. Just goes to show the power of action scripting.  I havent tested it out yet as of its 3 am, but looks and sounds incredible.  Mad props to you man.

1 & 2
i've been thinking how i can re-work the button-interface to add more features and still keep the same features in a non-WIP version.  i had some pretty good ideas on how to add cut, copy, and paste.  i think my button rearrangement ended assigning delete to B as well.  my notes are scribbled on a piece of paper at home and i can't remember them.  i'm visiting a friend this weekend, so won't have time to work on anything.  i'll keep your thoughts in mind when i get back home.
3. yeah, i haven't figured out how/ or if its even possible to detect the Start button in the WIP stuff (my keyboard was written in non-WIP and hastily ported over)
4. i remember KF suggesting that when i first made the keyboard.  i thought i did, but i'll see about raising it about 10 more pixels...

Looks like an impressive update.  I can mirror the pictures and zip if you'd like.

fucking awesome work man!

[Kthulu]

thanks, really, but BJ is really the one that did the awesome work of creating MXM and giving us the ability use actionscripts.  if my scripts are good, it is only because i stand on the shoulders of giants

Hear my prayer, Oh Great One, and continue to bless us with your most awesome dash
MXM

Suggestion:
Instead of displaying the line being edited at the bottom, show it in the proper place.

[Kthulu]

i guess 'proper place' is a matter of opinion, but i'll think about it

[geniusalz]

I meant proper place as in the line itself in the display up there, instead of having a separate textbox down there.
