| [AS] Problems with myXML.load(url) and multiple GET vars. 21.03.2007 |
| I was developing another little game, and I've been fighting with it for a couple of days, and after trying to locate the problem, seems like in the end it is just a limitation of the myXML.load() function. A bit of detail about it: I'm trying to send the scores to my .php at the same time I'm getting the updated list of scores in a XML format, something like: myXML.load( "scores.php?action=submit_score &name=mr.doob &score=1000 &code=893493" ); So, the php will update the highscores table, and then It will give back the updated table in a XML format. However seems like this doesn't work. For some reason Flash doesn't ever do the call. I've debugged a lot this and this is what I've found: myXML.load( "scores.php?action=submit_score" ); Works properly, Flash does the call, and it gets the XML back. myXML.load( "scores.php?action=submit_score &name=mr.doob" ); Works properly, Flash does the call, and it gets the XML back. myXML.load( "scores.php?action=submit_score &name=mr.doob &score=1000" ); Doesn't work!! Seems like if you send more than 2 GET variables then flash won't do the call, and I know that it won't do the call because I've a logger on my php code that is saving all the calls that is getting on a .txt file. Does anyone know if there is any workaround? I'll use a loadvars to send the scores and then get the XML again with a simple call. |

2 comments| You're one of the top UK creatives hand picked by Adobe 21.03.2007 |
| Yey!! Mr.doob is one of the top UK creatives!! haha! ;) Which means that "the box" is on my way. Right, I better start speaking well from Adobe now ;) I'm still shocked tho :O!! and I wonder even more about what is in the box. |

| Adobe Apollo!! No thanks... 20.03.2007 |
| I just don't see the point. Is this another browser? Is this going to be like Internet explorer and its customizable scrollbars feature? If this is something else... then what happens with Macromedia Central? Sorry, but I'm confused, by now I don't see why should I even take the time to download it. I believe there are too many Adobe fans out there ;) |

| Useful? Not really... Fun? Absolutely! 18.03.2007 |
Long time ago, actually, 2 years ago I had the idea of developing an API for xplsv.tv, and it took like 1 year until I finally worked on it, I think it was something like 1 day of work and I did this: It was my first experiment using the ZigoEngine so I didn't know very well what I was doing. This weekend I had a bit of spare time, and (more important) inspiration, so, with a little bit more of knowledge about the ZigoEngine and with some tricks that I learnt while doing phodoob v2 I did a simple mosaic, while improving the API a little bit.  Maybe this one didn't end up as cool as the first one, but I think its cool enough. Does anyone know a cool app for creating an screensaver for Windows/MacOSX using a .swf? :D If you wanna play with the API a bit, you can do stuff like this: http://xplsv.tv/api/?what=movies&sorting=rand http://xplsv.tv/api/?what=movies&sorting=desc http://xplsv.tv/api/?what=movies&sorting=asc http://xplsv.tv/api/?what=movies&sorting=asc&amount=1 http://xplsv.tv/api/?what=movies&amount=50 http://xplsv.tv/api/?what=movies&amount=500 http://xplsv.tv/api/?what=movies&amount=10&offset=1 and then you have a lot of versions for each image: http://xplsv.tv/images/movies/1133_141x47.jpg http://xplsv.tv/images/movies/1133_150x50.jpg http://xplsv.tv/images/movies/1133_200x100.jpg http://xplsv.tv/images/movies/1133_280x210.jpg http://xplsv.tv/images/movies/1133_428x50.jpg http://xplsv.tv/images/movies/1133_560x200.jpg http://xplsv.tv/images/movies/1133_560x50.jpg http://xplsv.tv/images/movies/1133.jpg (try to don't use this one :P) That's all by now, the API doesn't give artists/users info yet... but I guess its enough to have fun ;) If you do any experiment with all this, please, let me know! ;) |

| AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002 doesn't let you use WPA 14.03.2007 |
| At least not here. I had a similar problem before they released the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001. For some reason it doesn't let me connect to my WPA wireless network. I would say it's a problem of AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002 cos it also did the Mac OS X Update (Intel) (10.4.9)... Whoever dos the updates in Apple isn't doing a good job :_( |

| Phodoob v2.0beta 12.03.2007 |
 Pheeew! It took a while... but looks like I've finally done the base of it. If you don't know what I'm talking about.. phodoob is how I named my photo gallery system. I did the first version 2 years ago more or less, and since then I always wanted to recode it and improve it, so it could run faster, smoother... While I was on it I also fixed the zoom algorithm (which wasn't working really well on the previous version) and also I added some fancy animations to the rollOver / rollOuts... I've a lot of plans for this but I can't say too much yet :P By now, you can enjoy the pics from Reykjavik! :) EDIT: If you feel like you want the pictures in a table, here its a link for you... and no, the keyboardnavigation doesn't work yet :P |

| Wii? Hello? 07.03.2007 |
| Months ago everyone was speaking about Wii. Wii was everywere, everyone was hacking it, a lot of videos of people using it. I even thought it was the best idea of the year. But now, it looks like it was released 5 years ago. Everything has a BOOM, but I didn't expected to be like that. Does anyone still speaks about it? What was the problem? Too childish games? Now is time to see what Spiderm... sorry, Playstation 3 have to say about all this, and maybe its because they sell it very well, but seems that they're also doing something really cool. Although I don't think I'll buy it, in the same way I didn't want to buy the Wii, and I didn't. |

| The 1000 websites' man 06.03.2007 |
| Yey, seems like some of the last websites I was working in Spring are finally live. After that much time I'm not that keen on the designs anymore tho :S The one that took us more time to do was 40 Savile Row. Something like 1 year for doing it, and this is because it had a section were you are able to customise your own shirt and you even had some fancy pieces of flash to explain from where to where is each measure. I believe the one that did the best work here was david with the dev part. Another one is Coolthermal, tho for this one I mainly se the style/design doing the homepage. Mike finished it. Mike was also the designer of Darley Kids, and I think he did one of his best works here. For this one I did the flash games. All about horses, Jockey colours, Quiz and Word search (this one took me a while to figure out the maths for it). I also did the score system and the security of it (which is a bit hopeless when dealing with flash). And the last one is Cardpoint. Again, one of those longterm projects that never ends :) It ended up a bit too empty maybe... So, with these one I will probably have done 1000 websites already. Nah, just kidding, but, checking the portfolio I've actually done a lot being at Spring. Here are some: Rolf Harris, Stargazer, I.T. lab, RS Scan, Wesmon Press, Odyssey Consulting (flash piece), Beaumont Legal, Border Energy, GSL, 4NX (flash piece), Partnerships in Care, Halo Financial, Epico, TechMondial, Best Deal, DBD Media, Isis, Faith Fantastic, Ethical Network, Financial Objects, Corpora Software (flash piece), ICH (build), Olive solutions (logo, flash pieces), CIC (design+dev), Nasda (fancy flash map :D), and many more.... Phewww! |
