Quick Tip:
Utilize Firebug with ActionScript to trace out tough Bugs
Add the import statment at the Top and then call it anywhere Handy:) Note I was having troubles getting it to work with Firebug 1.5 but on Firebug 1.4.5 works like a charm!
import flash.external.ExternalInterface; ExternalInterface.call( "console.log" , "Omaha Winter. Camera Z:" + cam.z);
The example below will show it in action if you have Firebug 1.4.5 I will print out a message. This example was built off of Away3d use your arrow keys to move and your “w” and “s” key to zoom. On a side note – I am looking forward to reading the Essential Guide to 3D in flash it goes over the Away3D engine indepth
Reloaded
I have been making style changes and I am not done with making those changes; I am just glad the old version is gone for good! I have been very busy at work and working on several other websites simultaneously. I have been working on my wordpress blog lately and rearranged some things. First of all this blog will NO LONGER Supports IE6 on purpose! I personally have a great disdain for IE6 and I don’t want to spend my free time programming for it unless it is absolutely required. In short this browser is no longer supported and this is for many reasons so many that I can’t post them all here. So if your using IE6 or lower please upgrade and you might even want to try something new like Chrome or Firefox both of these browsers in my opinion are better suited for the web. I really just wanted to make my blog brighter and more easily read. I also need to make the loading a little more graceful I just simply haven’t had the time yet. I guess, I will just apply agile and continually improve it:)
I will be updating my 404 Error tutorials soon maybe even this weekend if I get ahead. I have been spending my time working on redoing my interactive portfolio. I have also been experimenting with Processing on Android and my initial reaction to programming with Processing and Android in my opinion have been very positive. I have a couple of books that I have been reading and I might put together a video tutorial of my new apps I have been working on. I am also really looking forward to Verizon updating to Android 2.1! Processing / Android kit targets 2.0 and higher. I think Android has lots of potential for developers in my opinion it is an excellent time to be a developer things are really booming and changing in the tech industry and they will trickle down to everyday life and really change the way people go about everyday tasks.
