  1. Layoffs happening at Adobe today. I hope all is well w/ my friends and associates there! http://bit.ly/pDRcH
  2. @mesh is running a contest to see who can write the fastest grid-based proximity class: http://bit.ly/3Pw3Ku
  3. Submitted a Flash Player feature request for low level support of IPoint and IRectangle interfaces: http://bit.ly/1Ak4Eg
  4. Just blogged some information about my Record Player experiment in #Flash / #AS3: http://bit.ly/4BSW8w
  5. The library I'm using for ID3 parsing from a FileReference is Metaphile: http://code.google.com/p/me...
  6. Added ID3 support to RecordPlayer. Will even show album art as record label if it can find/parse it. http://bit.ly/132b8R
  7. @Ranoka Do you mind providing some feedback? Either on the blog or by email? Would love to hear what you thought was harder
  8. Funny - 100 years spent trying to improve audio quality, and I'm using all this tech to try to degrade it.
  9. RecordPlayer experiment updated w/ volume monitor, clicks/pops, hissing, & skipping. Cleaned up. http://bit.ly/132b8R
  10. @lukekarrys "what if it is a 45 though?" --> that's why I made it a variable. ;)
  11. I'm lame enough that I actually looked up the normal spin speed for a record (33.3rpm), and used that for the demo.
  12. I think I spent as much time trying to make the vector record look good w/ grooves and wobble as actually coding. :)
  13. Spent a few hours today playing & learning the #AS3 sound API, frustrating but rewarding. First steps: http://bit.ly/132b8R
  14. @bclinkinbeard Haven't seen that. If you can send a test case, I'll give it a try.
  15. In the interim, Chris at FlexibleFactory released a decent (but hacky) workaround for Sound.loadBytes: http://bit.ly/1zFPqt
  16. My Flash Player feature request vote for the week: Sound.loadBytes: http://bit.ly/4lP3lq
  17. Definitely some translation issues though. Like changing "null" to "invalid". Not translated by a programmer apparently. :)
  18. @thibault_imbert's free book "Practical AS3" is now available in English. Great #AS3 learning resource http://bit.ly/3W2A57
  19. RT @waxpraxis: The best toys are the ones you make yourself. [GS: so very true!]
  20. Just released a simple #AS3 class for doing "wandering" motion, has a lot of options, fun to play with: http://bit.ly/T4xwA
