  • AOL AND ICQ SDK FOR MM Central

    Dude, it’d be so nice if someone wrote their own ICQ front-end in Central. That program had wayyyyyyy too many features and buttons from when I started using it. If you compare it to AIM, it’s just one of those apps where a talented bunch of people had free reign on adding functionality. I mean, was there anything ICQ couldn’t do?

  • JXL Library Tools v2 – Another Flash Panel & JSAPI Sample

    There are two bugs: when you uncheck something and for some reason JSAPI can’t turn export in first frame off because I think Flash does it first… and the other one I think is a bug with JSAPI not being able to set a linkage URL for importing for runtime sharing (see previous post).

    At any rate, neat stuff; I’m sure an uber JASPI-g33k could take this stuff to nth level. Hope you like/benefit/learn from it!

    Once you install via the Extension Manager, read the description for more info.

    Quick and Dirty: Flash Panel that utilizes JSAPI using MMExecute to allow you to set Symbol properties without having to right click your life away in the library as well as batch rename, batch uncheck first frame exporting, batch linkageID name via the symbol name, preview the class file, and open it via one click.

  • New Search for my Site

    I finally implmented the <a href=”http://www.atomz.com/”>Atomz.com</a> search engine for my site. I put the normal search off to the left in the 3rd module, and a link to the advanced search under it. I haven’t tweaked the settings on it yet, but I’ll do that over time to make it better. I remember seeing a surprising amount of usage half-a-year ago, so I’m sure it’ll be a welcome feature for people looking through my archives.

    If not, at least I will appreciate it as I was getting sick and tired of searching via my article list and then trying to match up the date via typing and retyping in archive URL’s until I found a match.

    Thanks <a href=”http://www.anupriyo.com/”>Anupriyo</a> for telling me about <a href=”http://www.atomz.com/”>Atomz'</a> Search!

  • JSAPI/JSFL Bug (another one)?

    *** Edited 11/14/2003 @ 7:01pm EST – see [edited] ***

    Ok, this one is a little weird, but repeatable which makes my day. I am guessing there is a global property that is scoped to a FLA file. This property is the latest URL you have typed for a Runtime Shared Library Symbol. So, if you right click on a Symbol in the library, and press the Export for Runtime Sharing checkbox, the URL field will become editable. You have to put something in this field before closing the dialogue box. What you enter in there I think then sets this global property. If you make any new symbols and set their Runtime Shared Library checkbox as well, their URL field will display what you last typed, even on creation of said symbol.

    I think there is another one for Import for Runtime Sharing. You can set it and the others follow suit, just like Export.

    You can set them both via JSAPI & MMExecute like so:

    Export
