QuickImage – OSMF

A class that wraps OSMF objects to simplify external image loading, and adding to the display list, similar to HTML’s img tag. You can either pass the URL in the constructor, or setter method. Either will begin the load. Nice & easy.

import com.leefernandes.media.QuickImage;
var img:QuickImage = new QuickImage();

ZendAMF Serialization Patch

In August I posted an issue on the Zend Tracker in regards to a noticeable bottleneck with serialization. ZendAMF performs at least 5x slower than AMFPHP, which is jarring when retrieving a high volume of rows. Many just shrugged it off and stayed with AMFPHP on more demanding data-retrieval projects. Today Mark [...]

 

2009 Awards :: Conference of the Year

RIAdventure wins by being the only flash conference on the Caribbean. 7 days on a cruise ship lounging with an intrepid band of flash-wizards sounds like fun, right? Scuba diving, snorkeling, dancing, crooning karaoke, zip-lining, and venturing onto sandy beaches with attendee’s pushes RIAdventure over the top. If it’s your first time [...]

 

Satkirin Kaur Khalsa – Purification REMIX

Had fun rocking the drums & synth to this beautiful Satkirin song from her ‘lightness of being’ album.

 

AS3 : Line of interpolated points

I wanted to capture a solid coordinate path using mouse positions with the MOUSE_MOVE event, and setPixels.
drawCircle() is for proof of concept, you wouldn’t want to draw with interpolated points where lineTo, or other Graphic methods were available.
var p1:Point = new Point(30, 40);
var p2:Point = new Point(400, 350);
spr1.graphics.moveTo(p1.x, p1.y);
spr1.graphics.lineStyle(20, 0×111111, 1, true, LineScaleMode.NORMAL, CapsStyle.ROUND, JointStyle.ROUND, [...]

 

Automator : convert audio to .mp3

The audio conversion options in Automator require that the files be imported into iTunes, and there aren’t available actions for removing those imported files from iTunes afterward. So if you want mp3’s out of an AIFF collection, and don’t want that collection in iTunes you’ll have to manually remove them (or write a script [...]

 

Automator : convert audio to .m4a

The audio conversion options in Automator require that the files be imported into iTunes, and there aren’t available actions for removing those imported files from iTunes afterward. So if you want m4a’s out of an AIFF collection, and don’t want that collection in iTunes you’ll have to manually remove them (or write a script [...]

 

Automator : substr_replace (update)

In order to simplify the interface, and mimic the PHP equivalent more closely; I updated an old applescript I’d written for use with OS X’s Automator services. I use this for batch-editing filenames in the Finder.
substr_replace ( replacement : start : length )
Parameters
replacement
The replacement string.
start
If start is positive, the replacing will begin at the [...]

 

Can It Be All So Simple…

The Finder icon is kind of creepy when given more than a glance. It’s either a multiracial smiley-box-face, or the profile of two faces making out… Besides that it’s a great interface for managing the contents of your filesystem. However, in my opinion the column-view would benefit from a little enhancement. [...]

 

Squiggly – spellcheck engine

Adobe’s finally come around with a spellcheck engine. Unfortunately in it’s beta stage, the UI classes require the Flex mx components, so if you’ve still not dived into the Flex framework, it’s up to you to build an interface for displaying misspelled words, and providing suggestions. On the bright side, they’ve included a [...]
