Site is being updated!
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008Sorry for the mess people, im re-jiggerising things around and getting the first magazine article together. It turns out wordpress doesn’t like to have two seperate instances running on the same server, using the same database, in seperate folders (it gets seriously confused), also why cant i rename any of the standard wordpress files? i hate having my root folder look a mess with files like wp-comments.php and so on…
There is a lot to do, ive got over 600 old posts to tag, there is the links to sort out for the sidebar, advertisement spots, search pages, archives pagination and the asides blog. It’s all fun and games.
Delete Empty Keyframes

Auto Save

JSFL FileSystem API
Monday, February 4th, 2008This extension adds a new FileSystem object to the JSAPI which contains 23 new JSFL functions that allow you to modify/access the local FileSystem in your JSFL scripts. You can for example write to the registry using JSFL, execute external applications and so on…
Documentation is provided for each of the new functions in the Help Panel.
As of Macromedia Flash MX 2004 7.2 a new FLfile object is added to the JSAPI. It provides some, but not all of the functionality found in this extension.
