(ActionScript 3) Date Detector - Changes Date According to System Clock

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 07:54:50 GMT

Useful for event dates - looks at the computers clock and tells the user when something will be available (e.g. this friday, tomorrow, etc). In this example I'm just using the day of a month, but you can use any part/the full date if you desire. Help me make this snippet better!

Always need one of these on hand. Feed it a minimum number and a maximum number and it returns a random within that range. Super useful.

(ActionScript 3) Get Color Array of handdrawn Gradient

Sat, 03 Jul 2010 07:51:27 GMT

I created this snippet as a small utility to populate Michael Vandaniker's Heat Map application with it's necessary gradient information. It makes it possible to extract a color array for every pixel of a hand drawn gradient (giving you tons of control over the color and style of the gradient). Check out Michael's Heat Map application here: http://michaelvandaniker.com/blog/2008/07/06/how-to-make-heat-maps-in-flex/ I think this could have numerous other applications. Make something cool.

(ActionScript 3) AS3 Clicktag - Works for Multiple ClickTag Variables

Fri, 02 Jul 2010 09:07:40 GMT

This snippet will place a button the size of your stage (actually 100 px taller to take care of a flash bug) as well as look for clickTag and clicktag variables, you can always change it so that it looks for whatever variable you want. I purposely left it a little verbose so that its easy to see what the application is looking for. When you're done using it, try using the Banner Flow clickTest to check that it works. http://bannerflow.com/clicktest/ Clicking this in the IDE will not return a blank window like an as2 clickTag, instead you will see a notification in the trace window.
