I just updated this blog to run on the brand new WordPress 2.5. I don’t see anything wrong with the upgrade and for the most part all of the plugins I was using on the site work (with the exception of Live Search which apparently isn’t going to be updated by the author) so if you find anything, please by all means let me know. Thanks.

The StageManager aligns items according to their selected alignment mode. You have the ability to resize your items with “easing” or “instant” modes as well. It also dispatches an event, ON_RESIZE, that allows for further manipulation of items to the stage sizing. Read more »
If you’ve downloaded my Image Slider, you may have looked at the Main.as file and noticed that I was using a utility class to convert the loaded string values for things that are actually booleans from the XML. I was originally loading them and I couldn’t figure out why when I traced out what was supposed to be a Boolean value set to “true” it was tracing out as “false”. The reason is that when you load the String “true” into Flash, “true” is not a Boolean but a String, so when you test for it it returns “false”.

The image slider is a small project I made for a friend of mine. It works in a similar fashion to the iTunes cover flow except that it does not do a trapezoidal distortion on the images. Read more »
So after a month and a half of renovating, I’m not setting up furniture, internet, TVs, home theater systems, and all that jazz. It’s been quiet around here the past week or two because I’ve been running around like a madman trying to finalize everything with the renovation and making sure I have everything I need to live comfortably in my new home. Once EVERYTHING is completed, I promise to post some new cool stuff. I apologize for slacking lately, just a lot going on right now.
I installed an updated version of the post ratings plugin and it caused some issues with the rating system. It is not fixed so please continue rating as usual. I always appreciate the feedback to let me know if the posts are on track or not!
The more migrating I do to AS3 the more little nuances (at least nuances when I am migrating) I find. A lot of small little methods have been switched or moved into new classes and it’s always a bit of a drag to find them. Such is the case with the setMask() command. Read more »
