How did they do that?

Hi all,
i am new to Flash but have experiance in cfml,php and sql. I
would like to create an image gallery similer to the one on
jackjones.com (Collections/jackets). I dont want to copy it but,
the way you can click on the image to get it to enlarge and move
and then go back when you click anywhere on the screen.
I can create the movies via this.createEmptyMovieClip() and
by drawing the mcclips on the stage and load the images from a text
file.
The problem i am having is with the moving, how do i create
the movement with action script as apposed to useing a motion tween
and huge numbers of layers and a very long timeline?
Many thanks in advanced
Hassan

Yeah tween with action script is the way to go.
Try this:

New York Jets - How Did They Get That Name?

I remember the old New York Titans of the AFL, but then one day, they were called the Jets. How did they get that name (West Side Story?), and where did it come from?
Rod, are you home?
Hunt

hiya...hehe... was crying ...jets lost...boo hoo....
gotta admit ne pats defense and offense were just too good...couple turnovers and jets = dead ducks ( making that gargling sound in throat as they bit the dust ).
why jets name ??? dont know really...not definitetively...
My dad was into gymnastics pretty much entirely ( a little into figure skating ). not baseball or football. bowling a little as a " do it " sport, not a "watch it " sport. The only "watch it " sports us kids did ( only had 1 tv ) was gymnastics and skating olympic stuff mostly but some other competitions too.
Gymnastics is weird in a way...( as was my father ). It is extremely personal ( about beating your "self" ..doing better than you did " before" ).. very individualistic ...even though you are on a " team "... it's just points mostly for the team to win , accumulation of individual scores... father was very anti weight lifting, very opinionated about these things to his kids... so even when I got into wrestling, for example, or football ..in high school, he was very critical of any weight lifting that was part of the practice and training. He " coached " or " taught " gymnastics on Saturdays at my high school in a sorta unofficial (unpaid ) position...so me and my brother got sorta hooked into that more than doing football, wrestling etc. In fact, we started doing gymnastics when we were like 1 year old.. and it is so stated in some newspaper clipping by howard cosell (when he was a newspaper columnist before radio ) interviewing my father after a ny athletic club gymnastic competition ( trials for olympics sorta thing )... " Yes, Howard, I have 3 children, and they are already doing floor excercises and some tumbling... kirk, age 3, rodney age 2, and susan age 1 .... " that sorta thing. We were famous !
We could roll on the floor with pet dog real good !
This gives you general idea how I never got into "watching" football seriously, or baseball...I am basically ( like my brother ) a sport idiot re: following football and baseball like normal american kids. Of course I did follow favorite teams for a while in high school... ( oakland raiders were my favorite with a couple other teams kinda floating in and out of my interest ) but I have only been to 2 pro baseball game, never to any pro football game, and only 1 college football game ( army navy as guest of family who's son went to west point .. they got season tickets and tailgate spot etc ).
Baseball games were 1 polo grounds where the only thing I remember is having a hot dog and I dropped my plastic thing of mustard and for some stupid reason stomped on it... and it squirted mustard like it was shot from a canon onto this lady's leg ( stocking ).. and she yelled at me and I felt bad and said I was sorry and she tried to get it off but I think her leg was stained with mustard forever.
Other baseball game was yankee stadium box seat next to yankee dugout roof as guest of guy who's brother in law owns the boxes complete with free parking nearby and tickets to some yankee club after games. fancy seats ( 4 of them ). I put my beer on the roof of the yankee dugout, it was like right in front of me. I got a ball thrown to me by a yankee after pre-game practice ( as they came to dugout to start game ). Actually he faked me out at first...went to throw, I ( startled by his hand action ) put my hands up fast to catch.. but he didnt throw ( like faked me out )... but then as he disappeared under dugout roof his hand came up and flipped the ball right to me ( which of course I caught since I am so quick with my reactions due to rolling with dog when 2 years old ).
So thats my only baseball story of any interest. It was the game " after" the boston yankee game with the pine tar incident in boston with billy martin.. so this was the next day IIRC in ny with boston again... yankees won. and didnt have to do tricky stuff to win ( like complain about pine tar ). The mustard story doesn't get told often.
So now you know that I am a total idiot re: sports in general due to total immersion in gymnastics, and most of THAT was just doing it, not following particular athletes ( though of course some became sorta famous at the olympics etc ) We had high bar and parallel bars IN THE BACK YARD ! LOL... I once saw a friend try a giant swing ( we had no mat.. just grass ) and fly off and landed about 20 feet away ... he let go cause all the skin on his girly hands got ripped off as he was twirling around... goes to show you... be careful when trying new things.
His eyes had rolled up into his head so you could only see " white" for a little while... but then he came back to life ( whew ! ) . We quit for the day doing gymnastics.
Sooo, in answer to your question.. given my idiocy about these matters.. the Jets ( from Titans at polo grounds and 1 season I think at the new Shea Stadium --where the METS were ) with change in ownership and all that going on... could have been from west side story ( cause I think there's a long history of some stadium dreams over on the west side of manhattan ( which would be a total nightmare for traffic by the way ) ).. and since it rhymes with METS maybe.. and also maybe because when you go to shea stadium all you can hear most of the time are GIANT JETS FLYING LOW OVERHEAD on way to and from LaGuardia Airport which is like 100 feet away from home base.
A lot of New Yorkers liked the Jets at first because Joe Namath go them to the superbowl and won, much to the surprise of everyone on earth and mars too.. but really because it was a ny stadium instead of NJ ( everyone in NY makes fun of people in NJ ). The giants suffer for this cause a lot of people call them the NJ Giants. And now ( of course ) a lot of people call the Jets the NJ Jets too... since they left shea stadium ( which was a mess because they had to go on road games till the METS were done playing baseball...and then that stadium on the west side got blackballed again by a couple lawmakers in Albany ( they actually OWN the city and state, Sheldon Silver and some other guy ). Im not really up on that whole history of west side stadium but in part the cablevision guys who own madison sq garden dont want competition. They got it with the javits center for conventions but not for sports teams.. so I guess they're happy for now.
Now we got citi field and met life field and will probably rename the midtown tunnel " JP Morgan Tunnel " soon... but as I say, .... I don't go to any of these games and travel as little as possible so who cares.

Why isn't clock available in notification center? How did they forget that

If reminders and calendar are available in notification center why isn't clock?

Do you mean alarms? Because the time is displayed at the top of the screen while in the notification center. If you mean alarms, it's probably because they expect people to stop using the alarm feature for anything other than waking them up in the morning, which probably doesn't need to be displayed in the notification center since it must be dismissed or snoozed immediately. Now that Reminders is a feature, it's much easier to use that as you had used the alarm clock before. You can be 'reminded' at a certain date & time without having to use clocks.
Is that what you were talking about or am I off the mark?

How did discussions get THAT email?

I just started using "discussions" today, and have found it very helpful. I was looking around and went to "mu subscriptions." here, i found that my email address was one that i had, like, 3 years ago, which I never use and definitely never indicated as my primary email. How did they get that info.? That old email address is from 2D mail, full of viruses and a terrible email provider. More importantly, how do I change it? This is not the email indicated in my .mac account.

Go here, log in, and change your primary email address. This email address is the one Discussions knows about and sends messages to if you choose to subscribe to an object.

Here is one thing I found googling for WebEx:
http://www.webex.com/why-webex/overview.html
(The x64 would most likely mean 64 bit). It may be a Windows based application/plugin, but since I had never heard of either, I'm only guessing there. If you do a search systemwide for it and don't find it plus don't know why it's there, I'd say throw it in the trash (don't empty it yet - make a note of the file path just in case you do have something installed that needs it so you can move it back).
Glad to hear it's not a torrent; some people use those not realizing that quite often there is a price to pay for downloading stuff for free that costs money elsewhere - the software packages quite often include little "add-ons" = malware which you really don't want.

Rounded corners in Ubuntu - how did they do this?

In the latest Ubuntu 6.10 there are all corners rounded.

How did they do this? Is this some kind of hack for GTK+?

metacity can grab colours from GTK. take a look at the edges of the menu bar and all that spacing, metacity is using a wide border to allow it to be rounded, and grabbing the GTK theme's colour to appear seamless.
Aha! Thanks James!

How did they acheive this?

Hi folks. I'm just designing for Flex, so I dont know any code or anything like that. I'm doing a Photoshop mockup of a Flex design. I'm new to Flex, so this might be a noob question.
In the flex style explorer I noticed some nice looking curved highlights at the top of the containers.
How did they do this?

Could I put an FXG inside an application controlbar as well?
Yes, if it's a Spark application. Components have skins. Spark component skins can contain fxg graphics. The programmer will have to create a new skin for the application component.
You should check out Flash Catalyst. It's a tool for creating Flex application designs without writing code.
You create the design and send the Catalyst project to the programmer
The programmer imports the poroject and writes the code

How did they do this effect?

How did they get this effect of the dots on her face....?
Thanks in advance...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkVy2FeqIyc&feature=related

Cool video. I'd say that everything is done in After Effects, including the 'dots' on her face.
It's a simple effect filter you can apply.

How do they do that?

Some websites permit visitors to view webpage freely. Only when a visitor click through any restricted page, login page appear. And when authentication completes, the visitor will be relocated back to that restricted page immediately.
How do they do that? I mean how to make the login page know which page to forward to.

Hi,
I think there a two possibilities.
1. You pass a parameter (url) to the login page to forward (redirect) to after a sucessfull login.
response.sendRedirect("login.jsp?followUrl="+request.getRequestURI());you may also set the url in a bean or the session.
2. You take a look at the referer that is part of the request header.
request.getHeader("referer");

What do the blue dots beside the addresses used in the messages address and how did they get there?

What do the blue dots next to the addresses in the address book used to address (TO) someone mean and how did they get there. I unsuccessfully tried to use an email address, the message address line kept giving me a red "hand slap"with an ! Point.

The blue dots mean the addressee has a device capable of using iMessage.
Try using the phone number instead of the email address to send the message.

Gaming: How Did They Design Crysis and Maxed It to Run Future Hardware?

Hi. If anyone has experience creating photorealistic games, how did Crytek design Crysis I to be maxed out for future hardware. What hardware were they using in the first place to run Crysis at max in their offices when it was developed if the hardware didn't exist yet? If they used a system with multiple systems on working in parallel, couldn't consumers copy that system to add to their existing ones (or pool systems with friends just run it at max while waiting for the hardware to do so. But so far at maximum resolution, 2000+ by 2000+, hardware today still struggles with it.). This question is also for Crysis 2. Thanks in advance.
Gbu

Hi. Interesting. They didn't have any special game farm parallel rig of some sort? When they tested it in it's maximum 2000+ x 2000+ resolution at very high settings, they were actually playing and testing it at slide show framerates of 1 or 2 fps in their offices then? That's a pain to develop.

How did they do this? I want to do it too.

My question is about load times.
I want to do an artist's website that would work similar to
http://www.gagosian.com/exhibitions/2009-03-14_richard-phillips/#/images/9/
Their big image on the right starts off at 806K but when you check the load time of it on UIT it shows less than 30K with a really fast load time.
When I optimize my test image I can get it down to about 125K- real slow and doesn't look great.
So then I thought I could link it to Photobucket - loads just as slow.
Here's my test page - still has Photobucket link
http://www.allencsmith.com/untitled10.html
How are they getting the photo to load so fast? How would I optimize my photo to behave as nicely as theirs. Thanks.
