So I have a terrain map as a Plane::Mesh3D object in flash using the Papervision 3D greatness. The {x,y} on all the vertices as it’s generated from the USGS Elevation data create 2 triangles in a perfect square. This means that we have lots of triangles that we don’t need on the “flat” part of [...]

I must disclaim that this is a very straight forward proxy example yet it does not work with AJAX and web browser’s cross-domain security policies/complexes. There is actually a far more elegant solution I use currently which enables complete support for Flash Remoting and AJAX calls to be made via a cluster of proxies even [...]

Hot on the heels of displaying a wireframe mesh of a custom triangulated Terrain map made from USGS SDTS DEM information, the next big step was to get a texture map applied. terraserver-usa.net has a WMS portal for acquire rather high-quality non-watermark DOQ (digital ortho-quad) satellite imagery of any coordinates. Knowing the precise decimal-based corrdinates [...]

Yes, another 3D terrain map done in Papervision3D. Below is a proof of concept that USGS D.E.M. (Digital Elevation Model) information can be easily placed into a Papervision3D Mesh.
I will be developing this further to make the [x,y,z] more “visually correct”. There are many more things to be done, but this is a simple example [...]

The scenario is having an externally accessible Apache 2.2.4 server providing a clustered proxy for Flash Remoting. The problem I encountered every time I tried to access http://www.myhost.com/_api/flashservices/gateway/ it would access the appropriate clustered proxy node - but that node would immediately send back a 302:Location Redirect which would resolve to a private-network IP address [...]

This is the DEMO of my lightweight “Pull Down” component for Flash AS2.0 as saved for Flash7.
Goal 1 - To provide a lightweight component to supersede the built-in Flash Components
Goal 2 - To provide the same functionality as FireFox in Windows XP’s functionality
Goal 3 - To allow for incorporation into an Observer or MVC pattern-based [...]

This is a simple Observer Pattern for Flash AS2.0.
The idea is to instantiate this as a singleton within your project. I add this class as a plan MovieClip library asset linked to the AS2.0 class.
This code “subscribes” other instantiated classes manually. This means that every other class defined in the project that I want to [...]

So it’s key in any application to keep the user informed and it can be a huge disconnect if the user doesn’t know if they should interact or wait. Such is the case with many applications - where the user doesn’t know if the program is “thinking” and if they should wait. Hence the simple [...]

07/18/2007 — Here’s a release. This is a .zip file with the .fla and needed class files. There are no namespace declarations. I’m releasing this code with the “limitless” BSD License. This package includes Darron Schall’s DateFormatter class released with a similar license in 8/27/2003.
Notes - this is not a completed custom component, which I [...]

UPDATE 2/18/2008 - Now works with negative values and properly formats ‘-.006′ as ‘-$0.01′ with cent rounding via Math.round() at precision level 2.
A quick function that was put together to parse strings/numbers (float as well) into a US Dollar formatted string. Case in point - we want the number 10000 to actually be turned into [...]
