Oh My...
It is quite possible that the Mii Editor source files have been lost in a system transition. This would not only be down right upsetting (mostly for me), but could mean that all future features that have been planned have been lost and a possible halt in Mii Editor development.
I'm currently trying to get a hold of system backups to see if, by chance, some source content was backed up, but so far it's not looking likely. My secret plans for a Christmas release have been thwarted.
This debacle aside, I would like to wish everyone happy holidays and a safe and happy new year!

Mii Editor Standalone (AIR) Expires today
For those of you with the standalone version of the Mii Editor, you may have noticed that as of today, you will need to update the AIR runtime, the runtime on which the standalone Mii Editor was built. This runtime is currently in beta and the update is to a new beta update. I was actually hoping to wait until the next update to actually update the editor, but it seems as though I won't be able to make it until then since the version on which the Mii Editor was built will be no more after today.
What does this mean? Basically it means you will be without the standalone version until I can update it. When will that be? I'm not sure. But with each new beta things change and APIs are updated so it takes a lot more work than just a recompile. I need to rewrite a lot of the functions to conform with the new version of the runtime. If I have time to do that before the next release, I will try to get a build out that will work with the current beta 6 version of the runtime (which should remain valid for many months after release). Otherwise, it might have to wait until beta 3.
Unfortunately, I have been really busy lately, so I don't know if I'll be able to provide an update anytime soon. In fact there is a new release of the editor just hanging out in the background waiting for a few tweaks and little fixes that I haven't been able to complete for months now. The fact that christmas is on the way isn't helping either.
Just keep your fingers crossed and wish really hard :)
