Flashead

Made a fancy Flash header for my blog. Had some issues with linking to the same window with a embedded swf, as it's on a external domain, thus the iframe solution. The gently flocking blue dots are done with FLiNT particle system, this is something i will play with for a while.

Here is how you make a MovieClip button in AS3 of an instance called btn

import  flash.display.MovieClip;
import  flash.events.MouseEvent;

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onRollOverHandler);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onRollOutHandler);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onPressHandler);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onReleaseHandler);

// if you want a hand cursor
btn.buttonMode = true;
btn.useHandCursor = true;

function onRollOverHandler(myEvent:MouseEvent){
//trace("Over!");
 }

function onRollOutHandler(myEvent:MouseEvent){
//trace("Out!");
}

function onClickHandler(myEvent:MouseEvent){
//trace("I waited for Press AND Release!!!");
}

function onPressHandler(myEvent:MouseEvent){
//trace("Press");
}

function onReleaseHandler(myEvent:MouseEvent){
//trace("Release");
}

Mapping agencies and trends

We are doing a research on the digital media field in Europe. Our assignment is to map the most interesting players and trends. After that we should speculate how those trends could be applied to some distinct sector (we've got the game industry). My job so far has been to look for trends in general and agencies in Estonia.
