2 CommentsNews.com.au homepage re-launched
The new homepage for http://www.news.com.au has finally launched after many delays. Well done to the team, who slaved away for a long period of time to make this happen.
My part in all of this was in building the news visualiser flash module that appears above the fold. You need to click the news visualiser tab to view it properly.
I love the way it looks and works now. The customisation of the news modules is brilliant and so easy to manage with the drag and drop interface.

add commentJudge a book by its cover
Found this love over on jackcheng.com, that well, allows you to judge a book by its cover. I found this appealing as I tend to find most of my reads by how well the cover is designed. I can’t help it, I’m a designer…

1 CommentWhy cacheAsBitmap is bad
http://www.bytearray.org/?p=290
Interesting little bit of information over at ByteArray.org about evils of over using cacheAsBitmap when applying them to multiple clips on stage and the solution using bitmapdata.
P.S. - Im updating the flash gallery at the moment, and hopefully should have the update live sometime this week. Its going to include album navigation, more control through the xml and cleaner code so keep a look out.
