How to draw anything into a BitmapData properly

06/23/2008 05:12 pm by Quasimondo in

Looks like Eric has a little problem with getting a sprite with an non 0/0 registration point correctly drawn into a BitmapData object. Here's help.

For anyone who missed it, the presentation and source files of the examples I covered in the San Flashcisco June Meet are now available.

Lower Transaction Costs Within The American Political System

06/23/2008 07:54 am by Brooks Andrus in Flash

Mark Schmitt paints a big tent two-party picture where issue oriented constituencies are able to effectively organize and compete by virtue of Clay Shirky’s lowered transactions costs. The use of constituencies rather than parties is telling. The American political system’s implementation of Montesqueian separation of powers provides a durable, but extremely rigid political system by pitting [...]
