I was trying to determine a way to sort an array without all the for loops and that sort of business when I ran across this post Granted it’s a little specific to what you want to sort but I’m sure with a little change you could sort based on the function call maybe. I […]

I decided to tweak the class a bit more so I figured I’d throw it up here.   import flash.external.ExternalInterface; public class FireBugLogger { private static var _enabled:Boolean = false; public function FireBugLogger(singleton:SingletonEnforcer){} public static function set enabled(t:Boolean):void{ _enabled = t; } public static function get enabled():Boolean{ return _enabled } public static function log(s:String):void { […]

FireBug, for those that don’t know about it, is a great little tool for debugging your apps online.  One of the many things you can do is use it as a logger. This is excellent for flash development debugging on the server as you can easliy utilize the console.log, console.debug, console.error, console.warn, and console.info. The […]

private function randomSort(a:*, b:*):Number { return Math.random()>.5 ? -1 : 1; } private function myFunc():void { var myArrayToSort = [1,2,3,4,5]; myArrayToSort.sort(randomSort); trace(MY ARRAY SORTED IS ‘+myArrayToSort) } Awesome way to randomly sort an array. I’m using this with the sliver movie to randomly place the clips in various positions so every time you watch the […]

So a little update with the video project. I’ve got things importing into the Sliver clips and tweening open yada yada.  Mostly all of the tweaks are externalized, i.e. the reavling time, duration, text x and y on the clip, but the most fascinating thing was what I just discovered.  I was aware of being […]
