Going to MAX!

So I was able to get into the MAX conference all last minute. It wasn't easy. Anywho, if you are going hit me up!

AS 3 Example: Calling methods of a loaded SWF File.

So I am working on a project that loads in SWF file that needed a parameter to load in some external data. Now with AS3 you can’t really just call the method directly from the loaded object like you would in AS2. I posted the example below.

var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);
var url:String = "URL_OF_SWF.swf";
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

ldr.load(urlReq);
addChild(ldr);

function initHandler(e:Event):void
{
var ml = ldr.content;
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("URL_FOR_XML_REQUEST");
ml.init(urlReq);
}

I also have a zip of the example for download.

Got train envy.

Ok I know this is like my third graff post, but what can I say. You can take the boy out the hood but you can't take the graff out the boy.

Suck UK is helping you get a legal fix to doin' some top to bottoms. They have some plastic trains you can put graff stickers on and rock it out at your cube. Just make sure you don't touch the third rail.

Graffiti Archaeology

Graffiti Archaeology is a project devoted to the study of graffiti-covered walls as they change over time. The core of the project is a timelapse collage, made of photos of graffiti taken at the same location by many different photographers over a span of several years. Most of the photos were taken in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles over a timespan from the late 1990's to the present.

It always slick to see the life of a wall, and how often it gets buffed and then pieced up again. They created a nice little flash app to see. Check it out!
