  • 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!

  • 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.

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

  • EventDispatcher Usage Revisited

    I had a problem in an app I was building at home for fun in Central. As the app got more complex, I started adding more and more events that I needed my AppController to keep track of. AppController being a class that runs as the Singleton in the Application part of Central. For things totally unrelated, it was pretty easy to map the events generated by a player such as “play” to a class method called “play”, and for a Playlist’s “selectedIndexChange” to be mapped to a class method of “selectedIndexChange”. However…
