Hello

The Unhandled Exception

Hey @Chacha102

How was class?

Chacha102

Meh

jseliger.com/2010/09/26/…

The Unhandled Exception

Yeah, I posted that Friday

hysterical :-)

@mmyers would like it, LOL

Chacha102

Look closely at that picture..

The Unhandled Exception

Looks like nobody's here but us...

Chacha102

22:29

And now all of my Google Shares are added to my Shares page

chacha102.com/shares

which are then pushed into Twitter via Hootsuite

The Unhandled Exception

Suite -- er, sweet.

Chacha102

The Unhandled Exception

Want to teach me basic ActionScript now? :-) Just kiding...

Chacha102

I wouldn't touch actionscript with a 100ft pole

The Unhandled Exception

@Chacha102 Wow, that's a really beautiful shot

Yours?

Chacha102

22:30

I wish...

BoingBoing

The Unhandled Exception

ah ha

@Chacha102 I'd like to not touch ActionScript. Alas, the nature of this project forces me to bend to its will..

Chacha102

This way I'm more active on my Twitter and Blog

without actually ever having to go to my blog

it is a win win

The Unhandled Exception

You yougnuns and your newfangled twitterlogimicbops...

:-)

> It is too late to edit this message

Damn you @balpha!

Let me fix my typo!

/me takes his frustration out on the innocent developers of chat

Chacha102

I mean ideally I should have all my tweets, facebooks messages, etc all on my blog

even if I don't display them anywhere, purely for the sake of having them

I should also probably back up my SO content to my blog..

dammit .. Why hasn't anyone thought/implemented this yet..

something that keeps track of everything you do and makes backups

Eventually if I have all my Tweets stored in a single place, it means I can display them however I want to

same with shares, etc

I could make my own mini-friendfeed

The Unhandled Exception

That would be neat

AH HA, I think I'm finally coming to some sort of vague understanding of this really weird ActionScript that I need :-)

yey for trial and error

How are you @ChrisF?

Didn't hear you come in here, I had my face buried in my code

Chacha102

22:43

Before I'd attempt to make it though, I need into an actual devotion to sharing media

Content beats design anytime

ChrisF

@TheUnhandledException - fine. Just reporting bugs on MSO :)

The Unhandled Exception

@ChrisF Fun!

ChrisF

Just popping in and out. Trying to contact Will. He migrated a post from SO to SU that was about a web app.

The Unhandled Exception

He was here earlier...

Are you able to enter the Teacher's Lounge?

he was asking where that was, maybe he's in there

chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/rooms/74/teachers-lounge

I'm not good enough to get in ;-)

ChrisF

Yes I can get in there, but I don't think he's there. I've @'ed him anyway in case he returns

Chacha102

22:49

I asked for an invite. Let's see if someone responds..

The Unhandled Exception

@Chacha102 LOL

ChrisF

I've now got a dirty great blue "1" slapped on my forehead - thanks ;)

Chacha102

The funny thing is, if someone gets me angry, I can just dump all of the message in the trash heap into their room

The Unhandled Exception

@ChrisF HAHA, sorry :-)

I know, I know, "The flag system is not a joke".

Chacha102

since I'm also the owner of the Trash Heap

ChrisF

22:52

Don't worry about it - I'll just clear the flag ;)

Chacha102

→ 5 messages moved to The Trash Heap

You know, I tried to clean up the conversation... but it still isn't working..

I'm just going to pretend it never happened

The Unhandled Exception

@Chacha102 OK. And I promise to behave now :-)

ChrisF

Actually I'm not sure now what I've just done. The flag has gone (presumably because the message has), but the "1" is still there

The Unhandled Exception

ActionScript makes me behave erratically ;-)

Chacha102

@ChrisF The Flag is in the Trash Heap

ChrisF

22:54

Ah.

Chacha102

so it still 'exists'

it is just in another room..

ChrisF

OK - apparently I can't clear the flag

Just off to try recreating my latest bug - I might be gone some time

The Unhandled Exception

@ChrisF Later!

ChrisF

Couldn't reproduce the bug, so I can still post here. Just seen the time though so I've got to go anyway. See you all later

The Unhandled Exception

AH HA. I HAVE DONE IT!

like 6 hours later, I've figured out what would have taken an ActionScript expert 6 minutes, LOL

Now to apply this same change to the actual code for my project instead of a test file, and see if it works there as well... wish me luck!

Hey @Fosco -- Didn't recognize you!

AH HA! It does work!!

Shog9

23:10

well, don't just stand there - post the code!

The Unhandled Exception

@Shog9 It's Flash, more of how I structured things. But I will post my answer tomorrow, as soon as I have it working 100%, on

Q: How can I add a zoom feature to my existing Flash application?

I have a Flash application with one scene, three frames and a bunch of ActionScript code to provide a number of ExternalInterface hooks. The three frames contain a single Input Text box which, as the <embed> tag is resized using JavaScript, grows and shrinks (not scales) to fit. I now want...
