Got the idea to put my iTunes playlist on my site from Flex-mx. He posted about this .NET app, IndieRock, that will upload a text file of your current, last n songs, n defaulting to 10, to your webserver. I then load and parse that text file into some Flash files. The datagrid in version A is hard to get smaller than 220 at 10 Verdana, and the bloody mx.core.View doesn’t listen to the global styles, nor can you set them on himself in version B; but either way, I think it’s neato! Pretty schweet what one can do in under an hour with Flash.

Yahoo Toolbar with Shockwave
Went to Yugop yesterday and had to install Shockwave on this machine because it’s new. However, after going through the don’t-remember-my-page-and-close-my-browser-you-coohh#$#$ installer, I noticed part of the installation process had the option of installing Yahoo toolbar. Maybe I’ve been out of the Director community and missed this detail, but why the integration? What’s the point of offering it? Can you write extensions via Shockwave? It was really confusing as to why that was added to the installation process, and although I am on a G12 (or whatever’s faster than a T3), I was still a little irritated that something I didn’t ask for was potentially downloaded with Shockwave. Just thought it was weird.

JSFL: Publish All
Flash MX 2004 has Save All under the file command but does not have a Publish All. I have 7 documents I’m currently working on and updating constantly throughout the day. Instead of clicking each tab, and then Shift + F12, I wanted one click publishing. BOOYAH, the attached JSFL script does it.
function publishAllDocuments() { var i = fl.documents.length; while(i--){ fl.documents[i].publish(); } } publishAllDocuments();
