The ProjectPlus plugin for TextMate adds some small improvements to the project drawer, including making it a sidebar instead of a drawer, adding finder color labels, and icons indicating SVN and/or Git status.
September 8th, 2008 by Joshua / 1 CommentBeer Festival + Flash Conference = Wonderful. I can’t wait to get there.
I’ll be representing the Spaceship at this conference. It’ll be a pretty dev heavy session, covering the fundamental approach we take to building the work we put out there. That is, if I’m sober enough. :)
If the concept behind the conference wasn’t good enough, and the list of speakers didn’t further entice you (there’s a pretty stellar lineup), then price should do it. Early Bird registration ends September 8th… this is your last week to be a part of it!
Go on. Register. I look forward to seeing you there.
September 2nd, 2008 by Jamie / 0 CommentsWe’ve come up with a couple of neat ideas for sessions at SXSW, but we need your help getting there. Take a look at the SXSW panel picker and vote for Big Spaceship in ‘08.
I direct linked to the Big Spaceship search to help you find us. (Is that cheating?)
August 8th, 2008 by Jamie / 1 CommentA lot of what we do here at the Spaceship involves complex SWFs loaded in and layered on top of other SWFs. We wind up with a lot of buttons nested underneath of movieclips nested inside of SWFs.
When we got to handling mouse interaction in AS2, this was fine so long as a button wasn’t layered on top of another button. But in AS3 it’s a different ball of wax — each DisplayObject has a mouseEnabled property, which is set to true by default. mouseEnabled means that the DisplayObject in question *can* react to mouse events.
This can be lead to some tricky and irritating issues. Hit the jump for specifically what is happening and how to fix it.
