Can you repost V1.0? Changing the name jacked up things and removes the blocks from the game when importing V1.1.

Sorry i don't keep the old versions. Forgot to mention it will remove the old blocks. Install this version and put the thousands separator block manually.

Hey George,

Might there be a chance this is coming to the OpenFL branch?

Hey,

I've tested and it's working fine on OpenFL.

This is super weird.
I'm trying to use it in late 3.0 build and I just can't get to see it in the extension list.
Have in mind I'm using many extensions successfully, it just never shows on the list.

What list? Can you provide a screenshot?
Also if you are using the Stencyl 3.1 (last builds) check in [workspace]\engine-extensions\extension name if is there. If is not you can add it manually.

Historically I put all my extensions to stencyl/plaf/haxe/extensions, not in the workspace folder (they did end up there as well though, to my surprise).
I have things like admob, charboost and others visible in a list when I open settings/extensions in stencyl, so I can enable/disable them. This did NOT show on a list when dropped in stencyl/plaf/haxe/extensions (which I always did prior to today).
Seems like I need to start using the workspace  if it works, quite surprising.

The user made extensions where moved to the workspace folder in 3.1. Install it manually and tell me if all is ok.

It works when left in workspace folder. Thanks.

v 1.2 is out. Check it out. Neat stuff like (hex as color).
