After my infamous post earlier in the week, I got some pretty good perspectives from people all over the world that I’d like to share as I learned a lot… and am still thinking on a lot of it as it’s complex.
I’m not quoting, as I’m the King of Paraphrase.
This is really a note to myself so I don’t forget to post later as I’m currently busy, but still don’t want to forget these things:
– when merging a layer down, keep the name of the layer that is on top; even Photoshop doesn’t do it. Currently, it just blanks out the name.
– when bringing in a PNG into Flash that has symbols in it, Fireworks does not keep the Symbol names nor the bitmap names; maybe make the bitmap names the slice names or the name of the layer they were on
– support Adobe Photoshop CS files and 16bit ones at that
– if your symbol is an “animation”, bring it into Flash as a movie clip, not a graphic
None of this, “Well, I screwed with the DataProviderAPI yesterday, but haven’t touched in 3 days”. Trust me, even if you intened to hit it again in a few days, that’s fine, but doesn’t count for this question. Seriously, wtf r u working on?
Work:
– coding & designing a front-end to selection of a module within our enterprise application
Home:
– Table Top building app
– TV Guide front-end to <a href=”http://www.theplatform.com/”>The Platform</a>
– front-end to <a href=”http://www.livejournal.com/”>LiveJournal</a> Client <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com/software/central/”>Central</a> App
So, doing string parsing for this project, no big deal and suddenly weird stuff starts happening. It seems that indexOf is detecting “th_” in the word “stunt”. Ok, most programmers are cool with that… I can work with that.
But suddenly, String.split start’s doing some whacked things…
