  • Things NOT to do when building a Central Application

    If you think these are a given, then good for you.

    – do not hardcode URL’s in any of your components; utilize a _global variable scoped to your Central’s application, like _global.com.yourapp.BASE_URL
    – try to confirm the URL you are hosting your Central application at. Changing multiple shared library files, even with the help of a JSFL script, is a royale pain

  • iMac’s are at Schlotzsky’s Deli

    Just got back from lunch break from class. Dude, behind the drink stand at Schlotzsky’s, there are 3 iMac’s, the ones with the half-ball and the pivot flat screen! There were a ton of small games on it, mainly for kids I’m guessing, and I guess there was an internet connection as well… didn’t want to gank them from the two kids and women on the 3 of them to find out.

    Anyway, neat concept to have comp’s at a Deli.

  • How to Pause a Flash Movie

    If only you could customize the modal dialogue, hehe!

    Works with animations as well as code. Since it’s modal, it’ll also prevent your users from interacting with the Flash movie itself.

    function pause()
    {
            var my_pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
            my_pj.start();
            my_pj.addPage(this);
            my_pj.send();
    }
    
    pause();

    I’m still trying to find the 2nd battery…

    …anyway, neat little Flash first person role-playing game. My favorites are the ‘All Your Base‘ translations. Love it.
