There’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.

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 scaleBuffer:Number = proxRadius+100;
var xMousePos:Number = _root._xmouse;
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;

The Guardian room is jam packed with […]

Data ownership, www.openrightsgroup.org, shared data, open API’s, the flickr/google maps effect - I agree with the panel that, whenever anyone is publishing data online it should have an API and be usable by anyone how wants to use it. Sadly in the […]

Wednesday is shaping up to be a fun day, got my Adobe Live tickets and signed up for the London MMUG meeting in the evening.
Aparently the MMUG stand will be giving away a copy of  Adobe Video Bundle to all new members that sign up on the day.
Hopefully I’ll find some time today to have […]

Before I start using this blog I thought I’d better get my house in order and install Akismet and Bad Behavior.
I had an old version of Word Press running a private blog that I’d kept tucked away, it started getting spammed, I’d read over at Aral Balkan’s blog that Akismet and Bad Behaviour are the […]
