March 31st, 2006 · No Comments

There are almost no docs on the web about using the Collections Property feature in Flash 8 Component building.
I’ve come across a couple of tutorials on it so I’m listing them here so I don’t have to Google for 20 minutes every time I need to do this.

March 29th, 2006 · No Comments

I sometimes take the benefits of Flash Video for granted. Until I get this

My mother also called me to let me know that it will take her about 3 hours to download the installer on her dial-up connection. Guess she won’t get to enjoy her grandson’s video until I convert it to FLV. [...]
