Posted December 12, 2004

We had a ton of fun last night in Kentucky. We thought it was going to be over two hours down there, but it was only about 1:45, so that was a nice surprise.

It was a beautiful house, and there were a good amount of people there, probably at least 35 at one time. I will get to that later, as well as fun pictures, one really great one of me with a glowing replica lightsaber.But to not diverge too much from the original idea of this blog, I need to write about something helpful to the design world.

This week’s topic has to do with Flash and using dynamically loaded elements from your items library and the problem when “loading on first frame” when it comes to preloaders. If you do any Flash and preloaders for movies, you should read this. It will help you out a ton, I guarantee it.

Oh, and I did about 3 hours of fiddling with PHP BB, which is a open source PHP forum. I am hoping to have that setup, but I don’t know when. But watch for that soon, as I just got the contact page up and running yesterday as you may have noticed. Now with a simple click of the button you can contact me with little muss or fuss.
