Flashdevelop3 beta 3 and air

Posted on September 20, 2007 by Carly (Admin)

Next week I’m giving a talk on flash develop at the Brisbane Flash Platform group meeting.

I’ve been using flash develop 2 for a while now and it rocks! It has cut production time and errors significantly with its autocompletion and project settings. Recently I have been using flash develop 3 (currently in beta 3) and examining its AS3 capabilities. Way back when air was released there was a template and a complex set of instructions for setting up flashdevelop 2 to run with AS3 and air. You had to have two seperate installs of flash develop if you still wished to use AS2 and AS3. With flash develop3 its all nicely integrated.

I have not really explored the plugin and customisation that is built into flash develop. I know its powerful and have installed others plugins. So not really understanding Air that well and not understanding flash develop very well I set out to create a project template for creating air apps.

Thanks to the information in this topic I have created my first template. Its pretty easy to make but I have included the files for anyone who wants to download it.

I’m still investigating how the application.xml file can get data inserted into it like the project name so each application.xml will have to be edited to reflect the project settings.

The template needs to go into C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\FlashDevelop\Templates\ProjectTemplates

Air flashdevelop template

I may post an update when I have more of a clue of what I am doing.

PHP upgrade

Posted on September 18, 2007 by Carly (Admin)

I switched my hosting over to php5 tonight. I’m currently in the process of checking that all the websites still work.

My alliance website seemed to have no probems.

There was a tiny bit of code that processed xml that needed updating on the Brisbane Municipal Concert Band‘s website.

I’m currently checking my site and then the rest of the sites I host for friends and family are also wordpress but at different versions. So far its been not very painful. I hope it continues 🙂

[edit]All sites checked, besides the one piece of xml processing code on the Band’s website everything else seems to run perfectly on php5. [/edit]

Panaramic photos

Posted on September 11, 2007 by Carly (Admin)

I finally got around to installing adobe CS3. To test the new stitching capabilities of photoshop, I dug up the photos I took on our honeymoon. The photomerge script is a little fussy with the images you put in. Photos that overlap a lot seem to work best.

The rest of the photos can be found on flickr in my panaramic set

I also uploaded the honeymoon photos that are also in the wedding gallery to flickr.

More band gallery work

Posted on September 8, 2007 by Carly (Admin)

Did some more work on the band gallery. The thumbnails now scroll across to see the pictures. There is still some more work to do on the scrolling of the thumbnails and make it prettier and make it fade in IE.

Normal view: http://www.bmcb.org.au/gallery.php?date=070804

View without JS: http://www.bmcb.org.au/gallery.php?date=070804&nj=true

Need to write more, but too tired.
