DigiStars…

 

I wrote a mini Flash app that creates these images dynamically. Every time you reload it, you get a different shape and a different color combo.  I like seeing how the colors turn out.

Post Apocalypse.

Things after the apocalypse seem so much quieter…  Fair warning: I am a little obsessed with Instagram.  I don’t work for them so I’m not trying to sell you anything (it is free) I just love it. This was at some reservoir in NJ.

Birds of a Feather.

Ever notice how many bird phrases there are… Birds of a feather, love birds, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush… hmm.  Another Instagram job.

AS2 Pseudo RSL

For a current project I had to find a way to break up an AS2 library so the base classes would be loaded and additional classes would only be loaded if necessary.  Online advertising tends to be very picky about their initial file size load.  So, after a bit of research and some earlier failed attempts at an AS3-like RSL, I decided to use self encapsulated swf files.  Each with the classes pasted to the main timeline.  Yuck, I know but it works. That done I can simply load in the swfs and feed in the related data after load.  Again this is a little tricky since AS2 doesn’t have a straight forward way of checking for an element’s load time.  But using the Movie Clip Loader class it was no problemo.  Glad to get that initial file size down from 17k to 6k.  Woot!

var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclL:Object = new Object();
_screenMc.attachMovie("blank", mc, _screenMc.getNextHighestDepth());
mclL['ref']=myDataObject;
mclL.onLoadInit  = function(target) {

target.init(myDataObject);


}
loader.addListener(mclL);
loader.loadClip("class.swf", holder);
