Just go and see, this thing is just great.
In a few words:
take a song of Johnny Cash (Ain’t no grave can hold my body down) and allow people to redraw each frame of the video clip. This gives a really good hand drawn video clip in black and white. All drawn by people from all around the world. My participation is at frame 44.
Ok, seems that many people have had this issue before but, as always in this kind of situation, it seems that I’m the only one having this specific issue on the entire web…
If you google it, you’ll find plenty of people telling about their story and how they solved it.
Here is mine:
I tried to call a static function from a static class with other functions working perfectly well. When I created this new function and tried to call it, I would get this 1006 “… not a function” error.
The trick …
Good day everybody.
Today I present the new website I worked on: Blue Your Friends for Volkswagen.
Design and video from 1MD. Flash development and the facebook integration stuff (facilitated by Vinch from 1MD) by me.
The idea is simple and provocative (but what is provocative nowadays anyway ?)
So yeah, provocative and humoristic. Good enough. I really like the professionalism of the video (Belgian production, let’s say it) and the tone of it. The design, as always with 1MD, is nice and sober.

Or when debugging your project, it simply tells you that there is no actionscript code or something similar, you might want to have a look at this post first: http://blog.open-design.be/2009/05/27/5005unknown-error-when-optimizing-byte-code-bullshit/
And if this doesn’t solve your problem then you might have this problem:
Two symbols having the same Class name. I know, flash doesn’t allow that but when assigning a base class to a bunch of symbols, it might happen …
Well in fact, it is… or is it not ? depends on how you see it.
The trouble
If using masks or objects that have their “visible” property on true but “alpha” at 0.0, it is taken into account into the calculation of the bounding rectangle. Even objects that are outside of the masked area are added to it.
The solution(s)
During my search, I found a post from David Barlia: http://studio.barliesque.com/blog/2008/10/the-trouble-with-getbounds/. He uses a custom technique to approximately calculate the bounding area of a DisplayObject.
In that same post, someone proposed to use BitmapData …
