I added an Amazon Widget of my favourite books and ran into an issue when I Validated my blog against W3. After some fiddling, I have a solution that I have outlined below

1. Get the data you need from the code Amazon gives you.  (more…)

I’m in the middle of learning the ins and outs of flash, action script, flex, and air for a new company product I’m working on. Today I ran into the issue that I had an extra 200 pixels of white space on the left side of my flash stage that I wanted to crop out, but couldn’t figure how in the world to do that until I ran into this helpful blog entry which gives a great explanation on how to move the contents of your movie without having to go back and fix your animations. Directions have been replicated below:

• Using the ’size’ button, set a new height and width for the flash movie based on your flash design.
• At this point probably some of your movie images will be off of the stage… dont’ worry.
• Unlock all layers.
• Click the “Edit Multiple Frames” button, it’s is just below the flash timeline.
• Now click the “Modify Onion Markers” button and select “onion all”.
• This button is to the right of the “Edit Multiple Frames” button below the flash timeline.
• At this point the onion marker above the flash timeline should be across all frames of the flash movie.
• Now in the main flash movie menu choose “select all”, or use your mouse to select all the objects on the flash stage.
• All the frames containing objects should appear selected.
• Now you can move your entire flash movie to where you want it in the new stage size.
• This will keep all of the animation and tweens and layers in proper sequence and order, just like if you cropped the movie
