    Whoa… this makes me nauseous…

  • Good Aussie Rundown

    Reading this makes me want to go back. He forgets to mention, at least the peeps I met, is the “underdog” attitude sometimes translates into a very outgoing, and welcoming atmosphere. Out of the hundreds I met, only 1 was a jerk… and that’s because I refused to go into his stripjoint.

  • Showing MovieClip’s Class via Jaysapee (JSAPI): Failed…

    Dude, I suck. I tried to take <a href=”http://www.ericd.net”>Eric D’s</a> idea (showing a MovieClip’s class name when you click on it) to fruition, but no dice…

    This code works via the command menu:
    <pre>var s = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection;
    if(s == null){
    fl.trace(“There is no FLA open.”);
    }else if(s.length == 0){
    fl.trace(“There is nothing selected.”);
    }else if(s.length > 1){
    fl.trace(“Code only shows class
    of one thing selected.”);
    }else{
    fl.trace(“Class is: ” +
    s[0].libraryItem.linkageClassName);
    }</pre>
    However, when I put a variant of it in a WindowSWF using MMExecute, no dice. If I had an event I could pass to the WindowSWF when something is selected on stage (instead of using onEnterFrame at 1fps, or using onMouseDown manually), or if I could hack the Properties Panel’s XUL… I could get it.

    Anyway, if anyone finds a way, Eric and I would be happy!

  • My Man E

    Added a new co-worker, the other Flash guy at my company. I don’t get to work with him much on projects, cause he’s on a totally other product we develop, but we still collaborate.

    He’s a very valuable blog because he’s definately very programmer’ish, but was using Flash way back from the beginning, so knows how to apply a lot of today’s programming concepts in Flash based on experience.
