And Movember ends with bad mo’s

So with no further a doo here are the pics. It all started with this past post. This first one is what I grew over the month and wore. The others were just playing around before shaving the damn itchy thing off. Im still waiting on a picture from Huzz showing his mo, so for now I stuck a funny one of him. Richard discovered Ginga mos didnt really photo graph that well so he stole my girlfriends mascara to darken  it up a bit.

 

 

So moving on to the Flex 2 stuff and AS3. Have been reading the Macromedia blogs and hearing about all the improvements the team have been making on the beta. I really cant wait to have a play. I have been experimenting quite a bit with the Display class and have found several methods missing or at least not implemented yet (cummon its an aplha), SpriteOne.mask(SpriteTwo), CopyChannel for bitmaps (was my alternative o mask) and ofcourse the alpha can only be set to 0 or 100 (so visable or not visable).

I have made a "mac Front rowish" transition for my Flash Widgets application Fabulator in flash 8 and because the images are pretty big the stutter a bit at first. So I tried in the 8.5 player (re-coded in AS3) and got it all up and runing but the reflection cant have an alpha gradient. So ill have to wait for the beta to finish that off.

Work on the Flabulator had been a little slow and Im hoping to get the last few things finished this weekend.

Starting to see some really cool examples of flash with binary files being parsed; with Franto’s example showing that hes working on a new frame work called "FlashLife " which will be one to keep an eye on.

Will be cool to use flex components in a pure Action script project, like Mike Chambers explains HERE.

P.S. Vote for best mo the air guitar is all tuned up and is ready to be given away.

    Where are the photos with the sombrero? And Rich didn’t “steal” my mascara… he asked to borrow it and I happily gave it to him – is that a bit disturbing?
