Helping out around Visions Camp for the blind
So today we went to our NYCares thing at Visions camp somewhere an hour outside of the city. It was awesome. Just helping out and getting everything ready for the camp to come for the summer. All in all, it’s been a very fulfilling day.

NY Cares
Wow, so next Saturday is my first ever New York Cares volunteer work. I kept putting it off for forever but now I’m sticking with it. I’ll be helping to prep a camp for blind kids called Visions camp. It’s great because it involves things like painting and cleaning up the grounds and since I […]

Flash to PDF
I was reading back to some of my blogs and noticed I forgot to look into embedding swf files into pdf documents. Here is a link to a tutorial for it. http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/tutorials/flashpdf/ Check it out.

Charles Rangel
When the bill was trying to be passed to increase the amount of money children get for insurance (or something to that effect) I wanted to watch the process in which it was pushed through. So I tuned into C-Span and tried to keep tabs on what was going on. Unfortunately, bush vetoed this since […]

an update on my FirebugLogger class
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 { […]

Belated blog from last week
Ok, so all in all today wasn’t a bust. I think I walked away from each session with at least a couple new things to ponder about. Not so bad. ReflexUtil was one of those things. Looks to be a great debug utility. Check it out yourself.

Flexmaniacs
Ok so I’m in the first seminar for flex maniacs conference. While the keynote was pretty sweet, this skinning seminar is kind of lame. Let’s hope I get at least something out of it.

oh the randomness
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 […]

oh man sweet
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 […]
