Battlefield 2
I’ve never played a buggier game in my life. The only reason I can even remotely believe this game actually shipped into a product one can purchase on the shelves of your local store is because… why? You guessed it. It was made by EA.
Still fun, though! Hopefully by the fifth patch, it’ll be playable.

How to get Flash to accept an un-signed cert
Via my man Greg.
- First, you have to add your self-signed cert to the IE/Windows certificate store as a trusted certificate authority.
- Then you need to set up an entry in your hosts file to map your server’s IP to host name that’s in the cert.
Once you do both of those things, IE will no longer prompt you about that cert on that site. Then Flash works with SSL.

Uploaded My ARP Framework Additions
Using a lot of ARP, a framework for Flash & Flex, in a couple Flash projects at work and my SWG Resource Viewer done in Flex. As such, I cleaned up the classes, and put into the ARP labs. Hopefully if enough people dig my command implementation, which is a modification on how the default ARP commands work, maybe it’ll get implemented into ARP 2.03!
My changes:
- modified Commands to have a resultFunction; much like a Delegate, Commands can now call a function in a specific, pre-assigned scope when completed rather than some implied known function on viewRef.
- modified Controller to support runCommand. Instead of commands auto-executing in response to a dispatchEvent at system level, instead, you can runCommands, and pass optional arguments.
- added ValueObjects.as to register value objects
- added ApplicationTemplate.as class as an example for _root hacking
- added (back) ICommand.as to the core folder
runCommand(“CommandName”, scopeToCallback, resultFunctionCalledInScope, param1, paramN);
