As a fellow Flasher for almost…5 years (unofficially 12 years! First met Flash during their Flash 3 era), it absolutely boiled my blood just to read the thoughts on the blog post. I might be over-reacting, but it seems the trend crowrd now tend to over-hyping HTML5 like the goddess of their time and throwing shits on Flash like everything bad is made of them.
Read the heated discussion here.
And on a sidenote, a good move by the giant, Google.
Rejoice ladies!
Was working on a project today and stucked and wondering how you can actually place a large number of custom classes in your Library and then call it out via a name that is formed out of a string?
Example: … “mcApple”+number+date
You can actually do it by using the method known as “Class Reference”.
var yourString:String = “mcName”+”customName”+customData;
var className:Class = getDefinitionByName(yourString) as Class;
var mc:MovieClip = new className();this.addChild(mc);
See? Doesn’t seem to be too hard and it’s really helpful especially when you’re still very much of a semi-developer/designer and need to access the library dynamically.

Or if I design something that is too abstract and self-inflated then it becomes meaningless no matter how beautiful it is. It has to communicate and it has to be interesting and stimulating – in that order.”

Such an inspiring interview.
MC lunch. Took few pictures of the process. The result was…ehem. This would be officially the third time I cooked for lunch. This was a collaboration with Ms. Canny. *cough*
The end result, dishes including egg custard with minced meat, old cucumber soup, some kind of fish with ginger, and some messed up vegetables (I’d admit it’s me 
). 1 Word of advice, if you know nothing about cooking, do not worry, I don’t as well, read up on the “correct” instruction in preparing a dish, this will at least make you enjoy your fruit of labor without pain in the toilet later
and I fell asleep half way through. Though I’m being really curious on how the movie would look like in 3D after watching it the first time.
It felt as if I’m watching it through a 100″ HDTV. The details are so surreal at times, until my eye can’t take the details anymore, and to a point, I feel asleep. Why you would ask? Perhaps I was too tired, perhaps I knew the storyline. But it surprised me that there isn’t any subtitle in the 3D cinemas, though there is the Papyrus-font translated Na’vi language. Now I wonder if it’s worth to pay the extra bucks to watch a movie in 3D?
It depends.
Why? This is because at most time when a movie, like this, are hard for you to differentiate if it’s 3D, when it isn’t filmed within a constrained space, like a hall or room, because I strongly felt I’m convinced it’s “real” when there’s a scene within a room/hall. I believed it would be another gimmick in 2010 that gets blown out of proportion and every director starts abusing it without knowing the purpose of doing it in 3D.
But there is one extra reason that can make you pay that much to go on a 3D cinema, when you doesn’t have a HDTV equipped LCD TV in your house. Yes, I can see the blisters and skins so clear in the movie that my eye was so tired to so focus on anything
Despite everyone condeming it on the storyline and everything else, I still like Avatar. It’s like childhood once again.
