SOME RANDOM DUDE

I am back-dating this post as I was both lazy and busy at the same time. The weekly links will be back on schedule from this point on.

Enjoy the links.

Well, Flash Player 9 patched up a security hole for Bitmap.draw() on NetStream video… Yes, I know, this is a good thing, but it broke my code for this, this, this and this. I have managed to partially fix a couple of them, but this is really my fault as well since the code I wrote for these presentations lacked, um, long term thinking… OK, the code was a mess.

You can read the details of the subject here. I hope to have these presentations fixed next week.bitmap draw, flash player 9, netstream, security video

Yeah, I know, I am ridiculously late with the weekly links. I could create all sorts of excuses and arguments, but instead of that, I am just going to post the links.

I will try not to have this happen again.

Enjoy the links.

It is a shame that the 52nd week of the weekly links was delivered late. Considering how bad I have been about this feature lately, it is not much of a surprise however. Still, one year of links is pretty impressive - I honestly cannot believe that it has already been that long. I would love to celebrate the anniversary by getting a ton of extra links dropped in the comments. How about it?

Enjoy the links.

Lots of Flash/Actionscript links this week - I have been immersed in the Flash world a bit more than normally - that is my only explanation. As always, these links kept me quite busy with reading/viewing - I highly suggest each and every one. The 5 Freefonts You Shouldn’t Have Missed link is especially nice as you will be 5 fonts richer after reading it.

As always, feel free to drop your favorite links of the week.

Enjoy the links.
