Flash is not retarded and SWF Studio is not broken. What the hell am I talking about?

I’ve been asked a few times about carriage-returns, linefeeds, and new lines with regards to SWF Studio and Flash textfields.

Since you can read and write text files from and to the user’s system with SWF Studio and Flash, inevitably someone will want to place some of this text in a Flash textfield. Well there is a behaviour of Flash textfields that is not documented: text written into a Flash textfield will have \n (linefeed) characters converted into \r (carriage-return) characters. This means that when you dump text into a textfield and then process that text later, your text is different. Any processing routines will have to account for this conversion.

So how does this relate to SWF Studio? (more…)

Actually, SWF Studio V3 went live July 11th at 8:51pm (EST). Since I didn’t have a blog at the time I thought I’d post about it now.

V3 represents a HUGE milestone for me. It was the first public product that I was a part of from inception to release. It was also a long time in the works (nearly 2 years from initial planning).

SWF Studio V3 includes an ActionScript API, which I helped create. I make sure not to take credit for the API. Although I wrote the ActionScript and played a significant part in it’s outcome, the Northcode team built V3 and the API is merely a segment of the whole. The API was forged with the rest of the application into what you see now.

Looking for a photo gallery host provider, preferably free. Anyone had good/bad experiences to share?

I’ve looked at a few and most companies charge for the service, which would normally be fine, but right now I’ve got no budget for this. The one I’ve found that matches my criteria so far is Yahoo! It’s simple, which is what you’d expect for a free service.

My first post. Don’t mind the mess, I’ll be cleaning up shortly … once I figure out PHP and WP themes that is.

Testing code block:

_global.MyClass.getNextID = function ()
{
	return this.__id_int++;
}

l1 0O

MovieClip.prototype.addProperty('go', MovieClip.prototype.getGo, MovieClip.prototype.setGo);

_global.MyClass.getNextID = function ()
{
	return this.__id_int++;
}

[ftf w=”480″ h=”200″]_global.MyClass.getNextID = function ()
{
return this.__id_int++;
}

l1 0O

MovieClip.prototype.addProperty(’go’, MovieClip.prototype.getGo, MovieClip.prototype.setGo);

_global.MyClass.getNextID = function ()
{
return this.__id_int++;
}
