  • Adding to the Fireworks Wish-List

    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

  • WTF are you doing?

    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?

  • New Find and Replace Function for String

    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…

  • Well, that didn’t work… I hate domain squatters

    “Dad, they want $500 plus $25 in escrow.”

    “Alright, well, I have a boat show next week, so I’ll order new business cards, and for those signs that will be at my booth that have the web address, I’ll just inform people that our web address has changed.”

    “I could haggle with them; additionally, one of the steps sounded overly complicated, so maybe it’d cost me less if I did one of the steps. Who knows… what do you want me to tell them?”

    “Tell them that I’ll give them $125 cash for it right now, otherwise they can go f$%* themselves, they own it. Put that in the email, word for word.”

    “Cool, will do.”
