Papervision3D cubes x240

04/30/2008 04:41 pm in Flash

I’ve just been having a play with Papervision3D 2.0 (Great White) and here are the results of my first test. I create 240 cubes inside a loop, positioning them in rows across the stage.

04/30/2008 11:41 am by WordPress.com Blog in International

Given the recent news that WordPress.com might be blocked in Brazil, we would like to share some information about the case and our response. A Brazilian judge ordered that one blog hosted at WordPress.com should be blocked in Brazil. A local ISP association mentioned it would do so via IP address blocking, something that would compromise [...]

rojo!

04/30/2008 08:07 am in Flash

Further to my last post about the current lack of MXNA, I discovered Rojo, an online feed reader that uses the “river of news” format. You can import OPML also. I now have a virtual MXNA, based on the OPML files uploaded by Mike Chambers. It doesn’t have the categorisation or the features, but it [...]

mxna is still down

04/30/2008 07:37 am in Flash

At the time of writing, MXNA is still down. Mike Chambers of Adobe has put the OPML files up, though. I am trying to figure out if there’s a feed aggregator that works in a similar way to MXNA (except that it should actually work, of course) out there, until they get it back on [...]

uCertify prepKit review

04/29/2008 11:50 pm by Daniel Tome's blog in Adobe

uCertify contacted me to do a review on one of their prepKits. It’s a simulator of various certification tests. I’ve asked for the Adobe Certified Expert on Flash. I downloaded the A9A0-311 Macromedia Flash Professional 8 kit. To begin you need to download the uCertify PrepEngine. It’s ‘kind of’ like a framework that you install once, [...]

Incompatible Override

04/29/2008 06:04 pm by BitchWhoCodes in

So for the first time, I've seen this lovely 1023 error - Incompatible Override. I checked the code - the signatures are the same, the number and type of arguments are the same, the method declaration are the same... etc etc. It looks as it should be, but suddenly upon compilation, boom - getting this awesomeo highly descriptive error. If there was a difference between the methods in any way, I'd understand... but there isn't.

Any thoughts, ideas etc? People have suggested linking and unlinking classes in the fla etc as well... that has often worked for me in the past but not in this case...
