  • Found a Use Case for flash.utils.Proxy

    Really edge case here, but hey, it’s something.

    Background

    In creating a Vidego API (video content management API) example in Flash CS3, I ran into problems making an AS3 version from the AS2 version. Flash CS3 doesn’t haven an Accordion component, so I went about using a List instead. My problem with the List in CS3 compared to Flex is that it “expects” the data to have certain properties on it.

  • Motorola T605 Bluetooth Hands Free Mute Problem

    My dad has a Motorola T605 cell phone with Verizon. Most of the time, if he received a call when the phone was on the holder and connected to Bluetooth, it wouldn’t work. Dialing out was no problem. The phone would remain on, but no audio could be heard. If he attempted to re-dial, you couldn’t hear any audio either. So, while voice activation might be working, you couldn’t hear the robot chick on the phone prompting you. Basically, when receiving an incoming call while connected to the hands free Bluetooth, the phone would mute once you answered.
