This has to be the most simple, yet useful tool I have created in a long time.

It is called RemoteTrace, and I dont really know why I didnt create it earlier. Right now, as you can see below in the demo, it is a very simple tool, and there is only one use for it right now: Seeing your traces in an external movie!

Here is a preview:

Download RemoteTrace 1.0

Simple use guide:

1. Place an instance of the RemoteTrace on the stage and give it an instance name of anything, rt_mc for example.
2. Then add the following code:
   PLAIN TEXT
   Actionscript:

   1. rt_mc.trace("Foo Bar", true);

   The second parameter (Boolean), determines whether you want your traces to be numbered, defaults to false.

3. Publish your movie!

I plan on integrating a simple AS 2.0 interpreter for an even further debugging. I have seen some around but most are pretty much out dated. So lets see how that goes.

Oh, and; I am anxious to know what you all might think about it! Let me know!

I am happy to know that the FisixEngine API Docs have been released.

I have volunteered to help create some tutorials for the FisixEngine, Mr. Michaeli (Oz) has invited me to create a ragdoll tutorial for the engine, and I am really excited to get started once it becomes available to me.

I really do not see how any flash developer could not be super excited about this project, I know I am!

Among several AS 3.0/Flex experiments and projects, I must say that this is one of my favorites.

It is called Fisix Engine. There appears to be a few memory leaks in the fisix engine demo, however this appears to still be under development, I am certainly looking forward to seeing some more applications such as games, using this.

I have been trying for some time now to get my feet wet with Actionscript 3.0. It is an amazing language, but also a huge leap from AS 2.0.

Update: I just found this really cool ragdoll effect using the Fisix Engine, AWESOME!

Well, if you have visited this blog before then you will know that I have just updated it with a redesign. I put it off for too long, but I'm really happy to have it back up now.

I have also finally posted, after a month! Hopefully this new design will help me kick off more blogging incentive for me

Now, I did just update this, so I am sure that there are at least a few things that are broken or something, but I will be making fixes to them over the next few days. Please feel free to let me know what you think of it!

When I naively starting blogging, it never occurred to me that I would have problems that I'm sure many other bloggers are having these days. I'm talking about blog article piracy. I recently discovered more than 15 sites who have decided upon themselves to take one of my most hard-worked articles and stick it up on their site. For example, look at this site who took my entire article and slapped it on thier site: http:// www*webknowhow*net/dir/Other_Resources/articles/SmartRedirect.html (remove spaces and replace *'s with .'s).

Now this is petty compared to all the other kinds of piracy that goes on, I am aware of this. But where does it end? What sort of options does a blogger have in his or her defense? I don't mind when other sites provide snippets of my article and talk about it a bit. But when somebody blatantly steals your article and slaps it on their site and calls it their own, it boils my blood!

What can a blogger do?
