I have just released a new deck component to display decks created with the Deck module in the forums. This new module if Flash based which gives me options to add functionality in the component. In this component you can also switch to a graphical overview of the deck in which you can double click a creature/spell and see the full card. In the table view, you can click any column header to sort on that column. In this table, the card costs (summoning, activation, hp and attack) have also been given each its own column.

What do you think of this new deck module? Which one do you prefer, the old or new one?

I have the old component as a backup in case you all prefer the old one.

Decks are displayed by card number....I prefer to have everything sorted by element first and then card number, like it was. I'm sure that can be adapted though. Looks nice.

The initial sort is now again the element first and then card number.

looks good its a very nice touch, but like Palpster says its good to views decks by element order

Very nice! Looks cleaner and the column sort is a great touch.

I like the other one better because with that they actually loaded... this one has a nice design though, if only it loaded the decks and I tried going to the deck part of the site where you view all decks and make deck and the decks loaded there

Hum, I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean that you do not see the decks in them?

yeah I can see the frame aruond it but not the actual deck (the cards in that deck, name of deck or deck score) but it just keeps saying loading

I like the new one. It looks great and the decks loaded immediately for me.

The current one, it's much faster than the Java applet... But heck... everything is faster than Java :p

it loaded fast for me, looks good, keep up the good stuff mark..

I think Flash-Based won...

Two comments:
1) I'd like a pop up telling me what it does when I roll over the button in the top left of a deck. (no clue what it does)
2) In the old version I could see a card by clicking on it from the deck, that's missing now.

Okay, your wish is my command

I have updated the component, it should now do both things you requested. The cool thing with these flash components is also that I do not have to bring the site down to update them.

excellent!.....on a side note: why are the avatars stretched suddenly?

edit: well partly excellent, the button works fine but I still can't access the card from the where the deck is shown (in thread I mean)
