Just back from Society of News Design conference in Boston. Pretty amazing and inspiring stuff. I am real fired up about my job now. It is a good feeling. I am adding Archie Tse to my Asian heroes I aspire to be list, joining people like John Maeda and Clement Mok.

I had an opportunity to create something like AJAX (but really isn’t) for work. I’ve been doing a lot of Flash/Action Script but this one project was more of text driven thing and we decided to do it with Javascript.
Here is just a note so that I won’t forget how I did it.

Select radio […]

Taget movie clip
some_mc.gotoAndPlay(”framelabel”);
some_mc.gotoAndStop(”framelabel”);

Function
function showsome() {
some_mc._alpha = 100;
}
function hidesome() {
some_mc._alpha = 0;
}
Popup an external URL
this.some_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL(”http://www.go-redsox.com/index.php”, “_blank”);
};
(Has to end with file extension such as .html or .php… other wise, http://www.go-redsox.com/ will NOT work)
Tween class
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var ShowSome:Tween =
new Tween(some_mc, “_alpha”, Regular.easeOut,
some_mc._alpha, 100, 5, true);

Hey, the WordPress released its 2.0 version. And redesigned their website. Very nice. Here is How to Upgrade in Five Steps from their doc section. I’ve also discovered somehow when trying to back up database from phpMyAdmin using firefox, sometimes it fails, and it is better to use Safari… Don’t know why, and it makes […]

I really liked my web hosting company, till about two weeks ago. Then they messed it up. They messed it up bad… I was (am) very angry. My Database is screwed up, php was upgratded to 5 from 4 without notice so some of the scripts stopped functioning, worst of all, my e-mail domain was […]
