Cool Stuff with the Flash Platform - 10/24/2011 Posted on Oct 24, 2011 An incredibly busy week again this week with a ton of articles and blog posts, especially on the subject of Starling and/or Stage3D for Flash Player 11. It's nice to see that people are excited about the possibilities that these tools create. On the excitement part, this week I am excited to be attending RIA Unleashed here in Boston (technically Waltham though) which is going to feature a ton of sessions and workshops by some amazing speakers. Cool Mobile & Devices Stuff (Android, iOS, Blackberry, Television) Adobe evangelist Christophe Coenraets and fellow evangelist Holly Schinsky are presenting a workshop on developing mobile applications with Flex 4.6 at RIA Unleashed this week.
Speaking of Holly Schinsky and new Flex 4.6 components, she features the new Flex mobile Callout component in this discussion and sample application, with source available.

AS3 101: Quick Tip When to Use Static Properties and Methods | Activetuts+ "Static" properties and methods belong to a class, rather than to an instance of a class, meaning that they are shared, in a sense, across your entire project. But when should you use the static keyword? Consideration 1:When There Can Be Only One This is the basic requirement. If a property needs to have independent values across multiple instances, then the property can’t be static. However, if you have, say, a TableCell class that gets instantiated once for every cell in a table layout, you might end up with some numeric layout values that are the same for every TableCell, no matter what the cell’s contents or position.
In this case, you might consider making a static property. Consideration 2:When You Need “Global” Access A static property or method acts somewhat like a globally accessible function or variable. It’s usually not advisable to rely on global variables as they can lead to spaghetti code, but that’s not to say that they can’t be used. Sometimes you just need a function. Tryit Editor v1.5. Quandary Home Page. Quandary is an application for creating Web-based Action Mazes. An Action Maze is a kind of interactive case-study; the user is presented with a situation, and a number of choices as to a course of action to deal with it. On choosing one of the options, the resulting situation is then presented, again with a set of options.
Working through this branching tree is like negotiating a maze, hence the name "Action Maze". Action mazes can be used for many purposes, including problem-solving, diagnosis, procedural training, and surveys/questionnaires. All of these types of use are easier to understand by example than they are to explain, so here are some example exercises. Quandary is only available for Windows (although it also works perfectly on Wine under Linux). The Quandary site has now been moved to the University of Victoria. CSS Float.

Garvie.
With this in mind I would like to emphasise three things: The importance of understanding this concept of listening being an active engagement. Why we need to develop listening skills'If someone is giving you a message or opinion, then of course you have to be able to understand it in order to respond.' Some considerations for classroom listeningThese are some of the things I consider when I try to develop my students' listening.

If things actually did look as we expected them to, that would be evidence for a hoax. The Lunar surface is not a Hollywood set, it is not subject to Earth gravity, and it is not planned to look exactly as we'd expect it to look from here. It is an alien, cold environment, utterly hostile to life and very foreign to what we consider normal perceptually. If things on NASA's footage and still shots looked as we'd expect them to in a Hollywood movie, then by golly we'd have to suspect a hoax. As it is, though, we've seen that many elements of Lunar truth are not exactly as we'd consider normal -- which, obviously, indicates that whatever happens on the Moon is not normal, at least not by the term used for Earthlings.
Which is entirely to be expected for reality, not some kind of constructed fantasy. Note too that Cameron's movie Titanic, as realistic as it was, in 1997, was vastly expensive, and he had the pick of the lot for FX fakery. On a personal note: Software Label : Based in Brooklyn, NY.

A-level results: Top universities secretly list 'banned' subjects teachers. Oxford is one of the elite universities accused of operating a subjects blacklist. Photograph: Oli Scarff/Getty Images The country's top universities have been called on to come clean about an unofficial list or lists of "banned" A-level subjects that may have prevented tens of thousands of state school pupils getting on to degree courses.
Teachers suspect the Russell Group of universities – which includes Oxford and Cambridge – of rejecting outright pupils who take A-level subjects that appear on the unpublished lists. The lists are said to contain subjects such as law, art and design, business studies, drama and theatre studies – non-traditional A-level subjects predominantly offered by comprehensives, rather than private schools. The London School of Economics is thought to be the only top university to publish its own list of "non-preferred" subjects. Cambridge University did so until last year. These students will join this year's unprecedented scramble for university places. Teacher's notes. Xylophone. Radiophonic workshop coldcut video.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The blue whale is the largest animal that ever lived on Earth. It is also the loudest animal on Earth. These enormous mammals eat tiny organisms, like plankton and krill, which they sieve through baleen. They live in pods (small groups). These gray-blue whales have 2 blowholes and a 2-14 inch (5-30 cm) thick layer of blubber. Blue whales are rorqual whales, whales that have pleated throat grooves that allow their throat to expand during the huge intake of water during filter feeding. SIZE Blue whales grow to be about 80 feet (25 m) long on average, weighing about 120 tons (109 tonnes). A Comparison of the Size of the Blue Whale and Other Interesting Animals Blue whales are the loudest animals on Earth!

They have a very small, falcate (sickle-shaped) dorsal fin that is located near the flukes (tail). Advertisement. David Ellis. MATH TOOL CHEST - ONLINE. Nicholson Baker.

Id3:ID3Info [read-only] Provides access to the metadata that is part of an MP3 file. MP3 sound files can contain ID3 tags, which provide metadata about the file. If an MP3 sound that you load using the Sound.load() method contains ID3 tags, you can query these properties. Only ID3 tags that use the UTF-8 character set are supported. Flash Player 9 and later and AIR support ID3 2.0 tags, specifically 2.3 and 2.4.
The following table describes ID3 tags that are supported but do not have predefined properties in the Sound class. When using this property, consider the Flash Player security model: The id3 property of a Sound object is always permitted for SWF files that are in the same security sandbox as the sound file.
However, in Adobe AIR, content in the application security sandbox (content installed with the AIR application) are not restricted by these security limitations.

Introduction What do we want students to know about scripts, scriptwriting, and screenplays? To begin with, most media (advertising, newscasts, billboards, TV, Radio, movies) start as writing.
Before an inch of video or film is shot, before an ad is designed, someone has written it down on paper (or on the web.) Secondly, those who use scripts use various techniques. Student should be encouraged to identify these techniques and discuss their effectiveness, strengths and weaknesses. Learning to write a script opens the door to a process that many students have never been exposed to. To begin, I suggest teachers write the words AUDIO and VIDEO on the board or on an overhead transparency. Explore the resources by clicking the links in the left hand column.

Italy's Drowned Village. The story of how a church in Italy was submerged underwater, so that now only the spire can now be seen above the water’s surface… Photo: Image: suedtirol.altoadige Legend has it the bell can still be heard in the dead of winter, sounding out its knell despite the fact that it has long since been removed. The bell tower of the 14th century church that projects from Lake Reschen in the far north of Italy is all that is now visible of the once thriving village of Graun. In the middle of the last century, the town was drowned by the artificial lake that lies above it to this day – and all because of the business designs of a big electricity firm. Photo: Image: Petr Drápalík The history of Graun, near the Austrian-Italian border, stretches back to Roman times, but this small village enjoyed the relative anonymity of most settlements of its size until the 1930s, when the story of why it was submerged begins.
