I just had a couple glassed of wine, nuf said.

simple set up of video

// hook up a flv in the same folder
flvMyVideo.source = "myVideo.flv";

// skin need to be in same folder
flvMyVideo.skin = "SkinUnderAll.swf";
//set skin color (rmember to replace # with 0 x
flvMyVideo.skinBackgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF;
//set bg alpha
flvMyVideo.skinBackgroundAlpha = 0.5;

flvMyVideo.autoPlay = false;

how to set up a sound

// set up a url request and link it to a sound
var musicURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xxx.mp3");
var sndMusic:Sound = new Sound(musicURL);
var channel1:SoundChannel;

// event handlers starts with a function, this one is to check that the sound load correct
function errorMsg(evt:IOErrorEvent):void{
trace("the sound could not be loaded");
}
sndMusic.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorMsg);
function soundLoaded(evt:Event):void{
trace("music is loaded");
channel1 = sndMusic.play();
}
sndMusic.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, soundLoaded);

simple image site based on arrays

ok code is quite stripped down so some pieces missing. But it's easy to understand how to put it together.

var aPhotos:Array = new Array(mPhoto0,mPhoto1,mPhoto2);
var aThumbs:Array = new Array(mThumb0,mThumb1,mThumb2);

function thumbClick(evt:Event):void {
trace(evt.target.name);
clearPhotos();
var count:Number = aThumbs.length;
var index:Index:
for(var i:Number = 0;iif (evt.target.name == aThumbs[i].name){
index = i;
}
}
aPhotos[index].visible = true;
}

function clearPhotos():Void{
mPhoto0.visible = false;
mPhoto1.visible = false;
mPhoto2.visible = false;
}
for (var i:Number = 0;iaThumbs[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnOver);
aThumbs[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, btnOut);
aThumbs[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, thumbClick);
aThumbs[i].mouseChildren = false;
}

AS3 simple visible control

mClip.visible = false;

AS3 How to use one function for several buttons

function btnOver(evt:Event):void{
trace(evt.target.name);
evt.target.gotoAndPlay("rollOver");
}
mClip1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);
mClip2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);
mClip3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);

Making a basic button in AS3

It don't get much more basic than this but it's quite a big difference making a button in AS3 then in AS2.

function clickButton(evt:Event):void{
trace("the mClip button is pressed");
}
mClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickButton);

Desk crap

No postings sinse forever, I know. In the lack of samething good here is a desk doodle from a meeting today.

Thoughs about this blog

I was just reading "The Long Tail" about very narrow consumption and from now on I will both widen and narrow this blog. It will be a weird combo of sketching, video effects, AS scripting and other creative shit. Go figure!

old guy

Made a digital sketch of an old dude. Sometimes is'n nice using the wacom but the downside is the result can get too smooth and this guy is missing some ruggedness.

coffee

This is a true doodle (2min I think). I have been playing a bit with just making pictures from shadows without starting with any lines. It is actually more tricky than you might think, especially to get the perspective and composition right.
