Multi-touch Flash application controlled by iPhone
Design details
I managed to connect to the iPhone a couple of weeks ago but I wanted to create a decent demo to better show the technical achievement. Multi-touch interactions have still a long way to go and so far it’s quite hard to see it useful for contexts different than editing, and of course multi-user experiences. In this experiment the user is able just to modify size and orientation of a carousel and its scrollbar, nothing more a part of course being able to scroll the carousel. I’m definitely interested on seeing how multi-touch interactions will be applied to standard UI components, as I showed also with my previous experiments.
When tweening properties with MC Tween, there are several different animation types (or easing equation or transition types) that can be used . They are all based on Robert Penner’s easing equations, so if you have played with other tweening systems, chances are you already know them by name (I even used his own words to describe most of the transition types here). If you don’t, don’t worry; they’re quite simple to learn and use: just specify the type you want depending on the transition you want to achieve.
When you retrieve e-mail messages from a POP3 e-mail account, the messages are deleted from the e-mail server by default after they are downloaded to your computer. For many people, this works great.
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next.
Select your ISP account, and then click Change.
Click More Settings.
Click the Advanced tab, and under Delivery, select the Leave a copy of messages on the server check box.
Select one of the following options:
Remove from server after x days E-mail messages are downloaded to your computer but remain on the e-mail server for the number of days that you specify. This is the most common setting for people who want to read their messages at work but also download them for permanent storage on their home computer. We recommend that you choose the smallest number of days that suits your needs. The longer you leave messages on your e-mail server, the greater the risk of exceeding your mailbox size quota.
Remove from server when deleted from ‘Deleted Items’ E-mail messages are downloaded to your computer but also remain on the e-mail server indefinitely until you delete the e-mail message in Outlook and empty the Deleted Items folder. Just deleting the message doesn’t remove the message from the e-mail server.
If you do not select either check box, messages are left on the server indefinitely. You can eventually exceed your mailbox quota, unless you connect to the e-mail server from another computer that has Outlook configured to remove messages from the e-mail server.
PHP regular expressions seems to be a quite complicated area especially if you are not an experienced Unix user. Historically regular expressions were originally designed to help working with strings under Unix systems.
Using regular expressions you can easy find a pattern in a string and/or replace it if you want. This is a very powerful tool in your hand, but be careful as it is slower than the standard string manipulation functions.
RouterOS password can only be reset by reinstalling the router, or using the reset jumper (or jumper hole) in case the hardware is RouterBOARD. For RouterBOARDS just close the jumper and boot the board until the configuration is cleared. For some RouterBOARDs there is not a jumper, but a jumper hole – just put a metal object into the hole, and boot the board. Continue Reading
Dynamic Flash Templates are able to load symbols with diacritical marks from the external file. But some adjustments should be done.
When you’re editing the external content HTML file you should save it in Unicode format. For example, you’re using default windows notepad editor: edit the text first, and then choose “Save as”from the File menu. Change the encoding option to “UTF-8″ and click “Save”.
Setting up cURL my linux server it was no problem at all, but I had a heck of a time getting cURL to work properly on my Windows test box with PHP and Apache. There are a lot of tricks scattered around on the web so here is my list of notes: Continue Reading
Somewhere around the second quarter of this year, RichInternet.de mentioned about one of their message about E4X on FlexCoders. With the announcement of Flash Player 8.5, Flex Builder 2 and eventually the next Flash IDE, version 9 that will support the much anticipated ActionScript 3.0, it is about time we look back to that topic.

Since the first thread showing you how to execute Lightbox scripts from Flash was such a big hit, I decided to write another showing you how to gain even more functionality in this regard. Tonight I will be showing you how to initiate a Lightbox containing a Flash movie from a Flash movie, and how to initiate Lightbox groups containing images as well as Flash movies. All of the following scripts can be used in the same page if you wish, you just need to include all of the following delegates into your project. Continue Reading
