MovieClipLoaderClass – AS2

I have been reading a lot of questions about how to properly load movies in projects using actionscript2. This is how I do it:

    var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); //Used to load the image

    button1_mc.onPress = function() {
    my_mcl.loadClip(movie1.swf, container_mc); //loading a movie into a container movie clip (just an empty mc on the stage)
    };

    button2_mc.onPress = function() {
    my_mcl.loadClip(movie2.swf, container_mc); //loading a movie into a container movie clip (just an empty mc on the stage)
    };

    var mclListener:Object = new Object();
    my_mcl.addListener(mclListener);

    //the three listeners below are optional
    mclListener.onLoadStart = function(container_mc:MovieClip) {
    //The listener tells this function that downloading the image has begun and to perform whatever code you put here
    };
    mclListener.onLoadError = function(container_mc:MovieClip, errorCode:String, httpStatus:Number) {
    // this function fires if there is an error in loading the movie
    trace(”loadListener.onLoadError()”);
    trace(”==========================”);
    trace(”errorCode: ” + errorCode);
    trace(”httpStatus: ” + httpStatus);
    }
    mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(container_mc:MovieClip) {
    //The listener tells this function that downloading the image has completed and to play whatever code is here
    }

Dunkhoops Tournament Highlight Video

Well the highlight video was finally completed and it looks great! Of course the video wasnt rolling when Leenis had his bounce-pass-alli-oop to me for a dunk or our team’s dunk fest on the commissioner’s team but oh well. We are in it getting dunked on quite a bit by the video producer’s team but they had to make themselves look good. ;) And no I didnt win the dunk contest with that creative dual-dunk attempt.

Man vs Wild



Since I may be heading to Tanzania, I have become completely enraptured with this show… A fellow youtuber was kind enough to put together a highlight reel of Bear Grylls in action. This guy does it all, drinks fluid from elephant droppings, jumps into sub zero water to show you how to get out, and seems to skydive into the location about every other episode.

Note: Thanks to ShadyKing for tip on turning off rich text editor for embedding youtube videos!

Work and Jail

I actually really like my job and have no cause to complain but I thought this was kinda funny. Probably says more about our jail system than it does about office life…

Sto-Pro-Veritate

Taking my cue from TFN, I created my first FlashLite application:

A screen saver that displays my family crest (with the buff arm pumping of course), the time, and current date. I think it looks pretty cool, feel free to download it and put it on your phone.

Sto-Pro-Veritate means ‘I stand for truth’.

Cool Flash Wallpapers for your Phone

We have been doing quite a bit of research into mobile development at work and the various different platforms that are out there.  I stumbled across this site somehow and noticed that he had some cool backgrounds/screensavers for mobile phones written in flash.  I have the Nokia 5300 which has Flash lite 2.0 installed and after getting the Nokia software installed, I downloaded a few backgrounds and loaded em up.  They are really cool!  Great work Final Home!  Check them out.

They may have inspired me to create a few of my own but we shall see how that goes.  I have Flash 8 installed at home and CS3 at work which has the Device Studio that makes it real easy to test apps on.  One of these days right?

Joost – Another reason to cancel cable

I am hoping that I can watch rugby games through Joost as I dearly miss the sport. If you want an invite, leave a comment and I will invite you.

How to convert mp4 files to mp3 files

I always hated how anything downloaded from Itunes made it so you couldn’t play the stupid mp4a file on anything but an IPOD.  Seeing as how I purchased a new phone that has a gig of space for mp3′s I needed a converter.  Free Audio Pack to the rescue!  It converts those ridiculous files (as well as many others) to mp3s that I can load onto my phone or burn to an mp3 cd to play in my car.  The price was right too.

If any of you Tivo owners out their are linux users, this is great news for you. Get all your tivo recordings burned onto a dvd. Can us Windows users get some love too?

January SnowStorm

Took a few photos of my condo after the snowfall. Did some editing to a couple of them. Here is one. The rest can be found in my gallery.
