singularity, in conference form

Friday, February 15th, 2008

Ran across mention of this conference today.

This sounds pretty interesting and exciting as far as conferences go. Having all sessions recorded and cataloged for later viewing sounds very useful, no more missing out on a session because there were too many good ones at the same time. I also like the idea of this local [...]

Creating Custom Events in Flash

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Had to create an event for a project I’m working on, and after a search I found that you can indeed accomplish this within Flash using an undocumented AS class.
I read about it here and here.
The basic gist is that you create an object, you convert that object into an actual broadcaster via the AsBroadcaster [...]

subversion and flash

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

man, i just pulled my hair out for about an hour getting to the bottom of an annoying issue with Flash. it’s one of those deals where i feel ridiculous in the end, as it’s something i thought about  early on in troubleshooting but failed to check until the end.
Anyway, i kept trying to commit [...]

fullscreen flash centering

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

So while working on a project, i had to center the content pieces in the fullscreen flash. No big deal, just set up an onResize event handler for the Stage and center the stuff when that event is called (you also want your movie at 100% height/width, with scale = noScale).
While resizing the browser though, [...]

Kerning Flash Dynamic Textboxes

Monday, October 2nd, 2006

So annoying, I did a web search to remind myself how I’ve done kerning on dynamic text fields in the past only to find tons and tons of links that don’t help me. Why Flash has “kerning” and “letterspacing” properties is beyond me. So for myself and anyone else who forgets this, in Flash “kerning” [...]

Life 02

Friday, August 4th, 2006

I actually got some more work done on my “life” flash experiment thing…

My second version of this program. Now you have to click the mouse button to breed the “things”. And the things are now little green amoebas, instead of orange circles. And there’s even more randomness invovled now. Each thing get’s a random speed, [...]
