See, that's the kind of input that shows that someone has actually bothered to check the script. And I have linked to it at least once.

....Just for convenience, could you link to it again?
(As well as explain how to use the new features? Sorry, and thanks...)
Due to real life issues, my trial and forum activity will be slow.
Like, insanely slow.
So I apologize for that, and will get back at you ASAP, thanks!

I was working on this a few days ago. It's far from complete, somewhat slightly outdated and lacks a lot of stuff, but eh. Knock yourself out.

I wrote some error reporting and debugging functionality. This will hopefully make it a lot easier to debug problematic cases and find player bugs.

I have not updated the player, because this wouldn't be visible anyway. That and it's not finished.

I made a little mockup on how you could do the court record.

Same for presenting, you open the court record, select the evidence and hit present again.

That's pretty cool, but I don't see the presenting anywhere.

I am not sure if I want something that shows and hides. And it still leaves the bottom screen underutilized.

However, everything in the bottom screen is enlarged in the court records...
Is there any way to utilize the bottom screen more, then?

Ok, I have found a new position that I am hiring for.

Animation director
Your job would be to design and plan various animations used in the interface. Normal flow would be to draw some sketches on how the animation will work and me implementing it.

The skills needed is just basic sketch drawing, if you are smart enough to read this ad, you are competent enough to do this.

Nice skills that would be beneficial but is not required include knowing 3d geometrical coordinate systems and 3d transformation matrices.

Now that's something I could help with.
I know the AA interface pretty well and I could also provide mockup .gifs.

You can start right away then. Design some animation that I need to implement. Don't be afraid of me saying that it's too hard or impossible. You'd be amazed how easy stuff is to code.

I know, I've been messing around with flash and AS quite some time. I know what's possible, but I lack the practice. :)

Here's how Cross Examinations should look like. I made it in flash. It's hardcoded (so not dynamic), but that shouldn't be too much of a problem for you, as it's only supposed to provide a visual guideline.

I made the VS background image myself in Photoshop. If you want to use it, I can send it to you.
