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!

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!

Elasticity Tutorial

I’ve never built physics/math/fomula library which can be used in flash. So today I thought about building one for my future projects. Most of time, I’ve grabbed files that had already some fancy motions and use code from the files.

Before precceeding it, I decided to go over some physics or some sort of fomula that will resembles frictions, inertia, etc. I’ve already made them once while I was using Flash 5. So they are very old and not very OOP friendly at all. (Also what I’m working at my work place is to architect CMS or to build more Enterprise stuffs. No physics and maths are involved much.)

The below are what I found great.

Inspriational DataGrid

The above title is referring to Yugo’s latest data grid piece.
If you like to see the actual datagrid that yugo did, click here. I’m telling you it’s just amazing.

That “string-ticker-never-seen-before” looks very sleek and cool. What can I name that? Maybe I could call it “matrix effect transition”, but that name is lame :P . Actually it is very inspiring me. One of reasons that inspires me is very simple one. He created something *NEW* from what I’ve thought as a thing that can never be evolved. This seems to be another breakthrough by him to me.

And another reason is that his design tends to find and decide what’s not necessary for the graphic layout and technical functionality and exclude them very properly.

Good job Yugo as usual!!! : )
