  • I’ll trade you a Window, and raise you an Alert

    I received my school books (suck) and my Macromedia Goodie Pack (das ich s?? [suB]). Thanks a ton Flash Team!

    I managed to keep my trading cards (they smell co-rockin, btw), as her majesty ganked the bag and shirt.

    It must be confirmed publicly that I am in the coolest industry niche. You don’t see VB or Java developers getting trading cards for their controls (ours are cooling looking anyway), or After Effects gurus getting stylish T’s (pronounced Tee’s) with easing keyframes on them. Flash r0X0R$!!!

  • Dance, Voldo, Dance – Soul Calibur Spoof

    Via Steven Sacks via Milk And Cookies.

    I have this game for Gamecube, and although they didn’t do Voldo’s Exploding Doughnut move, it’s all good. This video is real game footage of 2 Voldos from the Soul Calibur game dancing to Nelly’s Hot in Herrrrr.

  • JSFL: JXL-Withrow Text Effect

    Wrote this over the weekend. I remembered a text effect I was taught by one of my past managers, so wanted to see if I could recreate it for any block of text.

    Low and behold, I did!

    Simply click on a text field with text in it to select it, run the command, and walla, you have a reusable, graphic symbol with the effect!

    It’s not very customizable in terms of speed; it only looks good at 31 or 61 frames per second. Keep in mind it creates a graphic symbol, not a movie clip. Therefore, the graphic symbol must reside in the same amount of frames on the timeline that the graphic symbol itself has on it’s own timeline. Confused? Just convert it to a movie clip. At any rate, pretty neat one can automate some of this stuff. I wish I could spend a week just writing a bunch of these, and then package them up!
