Adobe has set up a site for all usergroups to use with forums, blogs etc.

Visit and sign up for the Brisbane Flash platform group.

I have a script for my band’s website that automattically generates an xml file, resized images and thumbnail images from a folder of original photos. Recently it has been giving me some trouble by just cutting out.

This is the culprit…
@imagecreatefromjpeg($origDir.”/”.$file);

Turns out that some embedded meta data from cameras stuffs up the function. I hadn’t encountered it till recently, when I was uploading other people’s photos. The fix for me now is just to run all functions through a fireworks batch process to save off new jpgs, which seems to strip the info out. Will have to find a better solution later.

Well I’m finally taking the plunge to be more like the ‘cool kids’ and having a technical blog and a personal blog. I’m leaving this as my technical blog and have copied the blog to the http://www.koali.com.au/life.

Over the next few days things are going to look a bit odd around here as I delete posts from both blogs (yes I backed up first )

In either the pre-build or post-build command line properties of your project. (project->properties->build tab)

C:\pathtoyourflexinstallation\bin\mxmlc.exe $(ProjectDir)\src\skin.css -output $(ProjectDir)\bin\skin.swf -library-path+=src\flex_skins.swc

You should be able to use $(CompilerPath) but that doesn’t work at the moment.
More details and future fix

Last wednesday night at the brisbane flash platform group, I showed off a few simple examples of some of the new flash player 10 features.

Here are my notes and code.
