  • Hangin’ in BF2

    Having problems even reading email; chest cold makes me wanna just collapse in bed all day to watch the History Channel. Doesn’t the virus know I’d rather be coding?

    Anyway, I think the funniest thing in gaming the past 2 years has been when physic engines screw up; case in point, here in Battlefield 2 where my legs have fused with the roof after taking a direct hit from artillery.

  • RadioButtons & Damn Doctors

    Just a note about RadioButtons; they do some cleanup via an onUnload. What this means is, you can’t remove them (removeMovieClip/destroyObject) and immediately repopulate their depth until they have run their onUnload command. Therefore, it is an appropriate place to utilize a doLater (basically waiting 1 frame).

    A sore throat & 1 degree tempature; symptoms which cause panic hysteria at my house if my wife showcases them. Take her to the doctor, and they confirm it’s a minor virus, like a minor strep throat, that one can get easily, and isn’t infectious.

    BS. I have been hot as a mug (even with a semi-fixed AC) since 11:00, and my throat is sore. This ensures I’ll not be hitting that rave that was at the Compound this weekend and instead sitting at my parents house in the west-side version of middle of nowhere, getting fauned upon by mother who makes good coffee for her sick son, while I’ll fiddle with “experimental software” on the new wireless they don’t need, but I plan to setup for them whilst my her majesty is up north giving a baby a shower.

  • Wrong ClassID for Object Tag

    Some of you wrote me saying my site was telling you to install the Flash Plugin even though you already had it installed. Apparently, the MTGotoAndComment Flash form I use for comments to avoid blog spambots had a weird class id which caused havoc. My man Jeff found this, although, I’m not sure how. Regardless, it’s fixed now; sorry for the hassle.

  • Can’t wait for Zorn? Get FDT!

    The development tool for for Flash, FDT could replace the “A” in FAME. Typically, one would use ASDT (ActionScript development tool) for code hinting, coloring, and creation/recognization of ActionScript in Eclipse.

    They have a lot of great demos done in Captivate, and documentation if you care to read instead.
