Friends
Still at large in Perth, Western Australia, I'm enjoying the increasingly good weather and rapidly approaching BBQ season. Then again, those two things are never bad, nor end at any given point down here.
I have been playing around with various "new" bits of software and internet technologies of late, some of which I can mention (AJAX, OpenLASLO) and others which, if mentioned in public, would see men in suits drag me in front of men with curly white wigs.
Let's all hope I can keep the updates coming a bit more regularly in the future.

The heading says it all really doesn’t it ?
Well, not quite. I’ll post about the trip and the truely amazing experience I’ve had training there (and the bargain shopping in Bangkok in week 2) as soon as I’ve had a chance to sort out the photos that I haven taken.
Might be a while because there are a lot of good photos on other people’s cams.

The goal of this tutorial is to create a slightly advanced version of the MP3 player application that I introduced in Quick Tutorial #1 - How to make a simple, re-useable MP3 player in Flash 8 Professional
The difference this time is that our MP3 player will have a playlist to allow playback of a range of MP3 files as required. The playlist data is created from an XML file.

The goal of this tutorial is to create a simple MP3 player application that can be re-used easily without having to change anything in SWF file after it has been built for the first time.
I will be using Flash 8 Professional to create the player application itself and SWFObject to embed the player in a HTML page later on.

I just realised that I must have accidentally broken two of my older articles when I upgraded to the latest Wordpress version recently.
My apologies for that.
The articles affected were :
http://www.webkroll.com/popups-are-not-all-bad/
and
http://www.webkroll.com/dynamic-text-field-tweening-with-zigo-engine-fuse/
The former didn’t work anymore at all, since I uploaded a broken version of the JS code that managed the popup links, the latter simply had two demo popups that didn’t work as intended.
Both articles have now been fixed.

Just recently I have come across an issue while trying to tween dynamic text fields in Flash. The problem I am about to describe is not a Fuse/Zigo Engine (FuseKit) problem, but more a general Flash problem when trying to animate movie clips containing this type of text field using ActionScript.
Demo 1 - The problem
As you can see, the text field labels are all showing up before the actual alpha fade has finished, which is not the effect that is desired in this case. Each item label should show up once the tween has completed to give a more smooth appearance.
