Chain: Delayed function calling [updated] (6)November 14th, 2009, under actionscript, Code snippets.
I created a useful util-class to make delayed function calling easy. You can make a chain of functions, by adding them with a delay in milliseconds. This chain can be executed multiple times, even in reversed order.
Update Image class – added contextMenu (3)November 6th, 2009, under actionscript, Other.
I’ve updated my Image class. It is irritating flashsites break the right-click contextmenu. Well, I can’t fix that and Adobe should look at that, but I think it would nice to add some of the browser – features to my image class.
getBounds for TextFields = getBitmapBounds() (2)November 5th, 2009, under actionscript, Code snippets.
I found out the getBounds()-function gives not exactly the right rectangle with a TextField. It always matches the border bounds, even if the borders are invisible. So i’ve created a more accurate function using getColorBoundsRect().
Generative art: Tiger (2)October 3rd, 2009, under Generative art.
Tiger represents power. I love to express strong animals with powerful lines. This one is created with actionscript (flash). I edited the composition with photoshop to add the text and changed contrast. The lines and letters are created generatively, using mouse gestures and random movements. I have worked hard to create this image, it is full with details, full of lines. Hope you like it.
full composition size: 10.000 x 7500 px
Generative art: Eagle (6)October 3rd, 2009, under Generative art.
I love eagles, they look very strong and powerful. This one is created with actionscript (flash). I edited the composition with photoshop to add the text and changed contrast. The lines and letters are created generatively, using mouse gestures and random movements. I have worked hard to create this image, it is full with details, full of lines. Hope you like it.

I like iGoogle. It’s very handy, because I can read my RSS-feeds everywhere I am. A while ago, I tried to personalize the header of iGoogle. I found the option to create your own skin, simply by uploading an image. I didn’t know the theme would be public, because I didn’t read the conditions. So, if anyone is interested.. Here is the iGoogle-theme:

Liquid menu: Better proportions with Math.sqrt (4)September 1st, 2009, under actionscript, Code snippets.
Found out something useful, which I’d like to share with you. It’s about calculating the width of menu-items perfectly.
Imaging you are creating a liquid website with a menu. If you want all items to have the same width, you could set the width of each item to totalMenuWidth / items.length. In most cases this will work out. But what is your menu is very small or the items doesn’t fit in that fixed width because the text is too long?
