    Topics:

    Introduction to Dreamweaver Templates
    During this session you will learn how to create and program
    Dreamweaver Templates which help to maintain consistency across your
    site and allow for easy site-wide updates. Also we will investigate how
    Dreamweaver templates can be invoked by Macromedia Contribute to create
    a simple to use, inexpensive, content-authoring system.

    Developing Rich Internet Applications with Flash Remoting During this presentation you will learn how to create powerful Internet
    applications using Flash MX and Flash Remoting MX to connect to
    ColdFusion.

  • Cloning non-primative datatypes in Flash MX

    I got it.

    It’s asyncronous, but I got it. Still, that’s better than the dangerous recursive versions.

    Had an idea about how to clone an object in Flash MX as there was one Class that I remember actually copied an object: LocalConnection. I figured this out almost a year ago when we all tried to pass a connected NetConnection object to other Flash movie’s hoping they could share it (since NetConnection’s don’t come cheap in Flashcom). Ultimately, it was a failure because, just like SharedObject’s, when you save a class to it, it strips it of any known linkage to its derived class (unless you use Branden Hall’s trick [don’t have link handy]).

    Anyway, read on for the code…

  • Ping Pong, Matrix-Style

    I’ve been depressed the past 2 weeks, but this made my morning over coffee.

  • Flashcom User Sounds Component

    Treat 3 of 4 (another in the works)

    This component was in response to a thread on Flashcom about having sounds occur when a user logs in and logs out. I also have it making a sound when the user changes their name. You can modify which sound plays with what event. Server-side, you can add more events if you wish.
