Windows media vs. Flash Video
0 Comments Published by admin September 10th, 2006 in General, Flash Platform, RantsThere’s a very interesting write-up on Windows media vs. Flash Video, the nice thing is it’s objective. Just try and ignore the rather lazy design.
I mean I can scream and shout with the best of them about how rubbish every other format is, but my opinion is only partly based on exprience.
A very nice bit of viral from HP here, seeding YouTube with this video.
Hard to work out where the CGI ends and the reality begins.

Check out my mile:
class Proximity extends MovieClip {
public var proxRadius:Number;
public var clips:Array;
public function Proximity() {
}
public function scaleProximity(clips:Array, proxRadius:Number, fade:Boolean):Void {
for (var i:Number = 0; i < clips.length; i++) {

var yMousePos:Number = _root._ymouse;
var cx:Number = clips[i]._x;
var cy:Number = clips[i]._y;
var prox:Number = Math.round(Math.sqrt((xMousePos-cx)*(xMousePos-cx)+(yMousePos-cy)*(yMousePos-cy)));
if (prox < proxRadius) {
clips[i]._xscale = clips[i]._yscale = scaleBuffer - prox;
if (fade) […]

FJAX is like AJAX only instead of using XMLHttpRequest, which is limited to a single parse of date at a time, you embed a 4k swf to handle the data parsing. Admitedly I can understand why you would want to do this, only being able […]
