…and for you NASCAR fans: Rusty Wallace! I hope cars smashing into each other gives you an erection as violent as mine.
At it again… I am constantly trying to improve AS2 banners… it is getting to be a lost art, as less and less people are using AS2 for anything. For me AS2 is still “food on the table”, so here it goes:
I started coding flash with Flash 3 (before ActionScript). It is a few years later, and we have evolved from ActionScript 1.0 (1999) to ActionScript 3.0 (2006) and I have been reading about ActionScript 4.0 for over 2 years… However, it looks like for what I do, I will be stuck in ActionScript 2.0 for [...]

I don’t know why I am still building things in AS2… But I keep getting asked to do it, so I’ll just keep trucking.Here is a simple AS2 Typewriter effect:
…because it just won’t die, here is some more AS2 for you. I go into more detail after the jump.

Just finished the TurboTax Social Hub. (Well ok, I finished a while ago, but it just launched…). It is a portal into the crazy social aspect of TurboTax’s marketing. It might seem silly at first, but once you think about it, it’s actually kinda brilliant. Its (Taxes) something everyone needs to deal with, and we [...]

Intuit’s TurboTax took over MSN.com this weekend. Tomorrow the world! Actually, if you haven’t noticed it’s tax season, and TurboTax has basically cornered the internet. You will be able to see some of the test code for some of the cooler banner ads hidden on this site. But for now, let’s talk TURBOTRON! There are [...]

I have another post for AS3 External Interface [ here ]… but AS2 is the hot shit right now so… I have a blank “tracking button” on the stage (no I’m not building this out) and on roll over it vanishes. Turning of visibility was enough, but… just in case I knock it down 1000 [...]

I have a new best friend in town and his name is Proxy. Basically this is a quick and easy work around for flash’s STUPID security issues. You simply send your link (to a file on a different server) to the proxy(on your server) and flash thinks that those files are actually local files! and [...]

I needed a non-tween animation to dynamically change the position of a slider. this is what I came up with… Using my new friend “sin” I am recalculating the position like this: curVal -= Math.round( Math.sin(curVal) * ( maxRange / 2 ) ); And to make up the diference, I have tossed in some random… [...]
