Transformation Position

In flash MX 2004, it is an annoying fact that transformation position and registration position are not the same anymore. You may have noticed it already and dragged it manually.

No worry no more.

I’ve made a jsfl file to do change the transformation positions to 0,0.
I finally can laugh. :-)

You can download it from this link and put it in the Flash MX 2004\en\First Run\Commands.

Enjoy!

It’s Korean’s New Year!!!

Wanna let you all know that it’s Korean’s New Year.

DynAPI

I am pretty sure that many ppl are already using DynAPI from time to time. For the real web sites in the real world, compatibility is still the very important thing to consider and using DynAPI can help that compatibility issues solved.

It’s JavaScript DHTML Library which is of course cross-browser. I have used this once and it worked pretty nice. When you do not have time to build your own kind, DynAPI can come in handy.

duplicate database table.

I was in need to duplicate oracle database tables. Couple of ‘em. SQL Navigator is the standard application for Oracle database in my company and I was looking for a command in the app. I couldn’t find it.

So I asked my co-worker about that and he handed me an Oracle book.
Here we go. I found a great SQL statement to duplicate tables.

CREATE TABLE tableName AS SELECT * FROM tableName2

What a good trick!

Clearing All setIntervals

After long holidays, my inbox was filled with chattyfig mailing list. It’s 6704 mails unread. Wow.

Anyways, I looked at one nice trick to turn off all the intervals which was contributed by Mike Mountain and Kamyar Nazeri.


function clearAllIntervals() {
var topID = setInterval(function () {
}, 100);
for (i=0; i

Since setInterval increments to a higher number, you can delete intervals 0 through the last interval id.

NBA Courtside Live.

I’m a big fan of NBA. Very often what I usually do is to look at live scores which are provided in flash app.

The reason I’m bringing up that live score by NBA.com is that the flash app looks very functional and well done. It provides box score, play by play, and efficiency, which, of course, are streaming live data.

I do not know what kind of back-end technology they use for it. However, it works very nice.

If you want to check out the live score, go to NBA.com and click on “Courtside Live: FLASH” from one of SCOREBOARD in the middle of the page.

I think most of developers will like implementation and functionality.

Go check it out!
