Worked out a couple of tight little scripts to center content to your Flash movie. Check it, check it!

I just submitted <a href=”https://www.jessewarden.com/downloads/jxl_XIFF_Icons.gif”>my entry</a> to the <a href=”http://voisen.org/archives/announcements/000215.php”>Voisen.org XIFF Icon Contest</a> to win a copy of <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com/special/drk/?promoid=banner_softwarehome_drk3_050703″>DRK3</a>.

No, this has nothing to do with phones. I have this bug I’m still debugging in my project at work. I have a class that encapsulates my Remoting call to a web-service, and when done getting it’s data, calls a callback. It has an internal timeout just in case the onStatus never gets invoked. For some reason, a few of these intervals are not getting cleared, and I can’t find the bug since a few of them have it. It’s almost like Remoting is returning 2 results. However, you CAN’T find out who the hell called you (arguments.callee) and actually do anything useful with it… or so I thought. Hopefully next week (too burnt out today) I can use <a href=”http://www.flashfanatiker.de/archives/000024.html”>this code</a> form <a href=”http://www.holger-kohnen.de/”>h0k’s blog</a> to help me find out who the hell is calling my callbacks like 5 times.

Germans always got cool AS tricks, yo.

Took a break from my writing to wrap this utility up. It allows you to adjust Flash’s framerate by setting a custom, global property called _framerate, just like you would set the _quality property. I find that it is easier to slow a Flash movie down in both speed and CPU usage than speed it up beyond it’s default framerate (default being the framerate that you made the SWF at). Regardless, it’s helping me so figured it would help you all.

Please tell me what you think of it!
