I hate removing listeners in AS3. So I created a work-around to autoremove them 🙂 I know there are already some solutions for this, but some of them requires a complete new event system and it is just fun to create your own sources. This class overrides the default behavior of the addEventListener function. It stores references of the listeners inside a Dictionary. The class it selfs listens to the REMOVED_FROM_STAGE event, and when it is removed, then it removes all stored events.

Quick post here. I’d like to share this very quick way to create an automatic ID or index to your class instances. Mostly I pass an index as parameter to the class instances, or I use a public var to set the index. Using this way it is very easy to create an automatically filled index, since you have to set this up once and never worry again 🙂

Quick post here, a simple solution I found to have multiple keys enabled. Maybe most real game developers know better or more elegant solutions, but I found this useful enough to share it with you.

Who follows me on twitter already noticed I’ve created a little app inspired by scribbler from zefrank. I also found another cool version of Mario Klingemann aka Quasimondo called scribblerToo. But the one where it all started is the javascript version of Mr.Doob. I wanted to try this in flash, and called it findClosest. It’s not such great as the other versions, but I really think there are some interesting things in here.

For a while now, I am experimenting with this new experiment. I created an algorithm with nested sinus/cosinus, to show of some cool 3d looking particles (no there is no 3d in it). It is amazing to see how many particles flash can move. I used components from bit-101 to have some interaction.

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.

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.
