Flash AS3 Links Made Easy – AS3 Link Class – Download
July 18th, 2010 by

Many times when creating banners with multiple clickable areas, it’s a pain to do an event listener for each and a function to navigate to that particular URL.
var link = new Link(obj:DisplayObject,lnk:String,trgt:String);
I needed something faster and created a “dead simple” as3 link class, which allows creating as3 links in 1 line. You can download the class [...]

Flash – Add Path to Your Classes – AS3 Classpath
July 18th, 2010 by moonpixel
When using Flash regularly, as with any other software, there are tasks repeating in many projects over and over again. To speed up this process, it just makes sense creating your own classes and functions and having them available for all projects to use.
So how do we do this?
In order to have a class accessible [...]

Why Install Wordpress3 or What’s New in WP3?
June 26th, 2010 by moonpixel
WOW!!! The long expected Wordpress 3.0 came out few days ago, instead of the planned 1st May release it was delivered almost together with the Football World Cup.
All excited I did install it on my local server to see what’s new in WP3. I must say I was very impressed with the new installer, the Twenty Ten theme, custom post types, Wordpress Multi User features (which I haven’t tried but sound fantastic to have WPMU added in as a bonus) and other great stuff.

Webdesign in Plain English ?
June 12th, 2010 by moonpixel
Lately I’ve been looking into some EU legal stuff on the internet and I must admit it took me ages to get my head around certain things. As if all the information was intended only for the insiders and everyone else needs to take a law course to be able to read the articles.
I did really appreciate when I came across some sources where the same stuff was explained in simple layman terms!!!. Honestly it was a great relief. [...]

CSS / HTML Template – Download
May 22nd, 2010 by moonpixel
I have been using the 960 Grid System CSS Framework, 960px frame divided into 12 or 16 columns, as for the kind of websites I work on (large graphics, less text) the pixel based layout is suitable. After I did about 10-20 sites using this framework I started realising that the time it saves me when creating the layout, at the end of the day I spend extra when making tweaks to the site (and there always are tweaks) and I did revert back to using custom templates based on my specific needs. I did create a “website” template composed just from the very basic elements I keep using again and again. [...]

WPMU Install – Simple Steps
April 25th, 2010 by moonpixel
When installing Wordpress MU, I’ve noticed the :
**************************************************************************
* Do not try to create this file manually. Read the README.txt and run the
* web installer.
**************************************************************************
but as I wanted to use my own DB table prefixes I’ve ignored this and filled out the wp-config-sample.php with my details and changed to wp-config.php and uploaded as I would do with single WP.
This lead to all sort of errors like : “Warning! VHOST must be ‘yes’ or ‘no’ in wp-config.php” [...]

Gradient Not Smooth – Photoshop CS4 Banding
April 11th, 2010 by moonpixel
I had recently an issue with a black to dark gray gradient created in Photoshop CS4. This gradient was used for a website background, repeated along the y-axis, where it produced some annoying vertical blocks of solid color, example below:
In order to get rid of this “banding” issue I did:

ia_archiver Bypassed Login Form
January 2nd, 2010 by moonpixel
Recently I came across 2 cases where website’s admin area was accessed by an “intruder”. In both cases the login credentials were known only to the administrator and this was in both cases a different person.
The first site was a simple online questionnaire with a custom CMS for managing the questions created by some company. Here the “intruder” managed to get in the admin area and delete most of the questions.
The second site was only a testing “playground”, it was based on the Zend Framework’s MVC, but not completed yet. Here the “intruder” managed to send an email from the admin area’s mailer.
