Dasher Branden Hall posted an interesting story on an on-screen text input mechanism called Dasher, at first I was confused by this and would get lost. But after a few minutes of reading the help I understood what was going on and could get going pretty fast. I imagine if I used this every day it would become second nature just like typing and would work quite well. I am running it on my ipaq right now to just see how useful it can become for me. 3:56:08 PM    comment []

apply and __resolve I just posted a little story explaining some code I wrote on the ultrashock forums. It explains some of the uses of the apply and __resolve methods if you have not worked with these yet. Also some cool tween engine code. Here is a peice of code using both: Glyph.prototype.__resolve = function(methodName){ return function(){ arguments.unshift(this.ref_mc); return this.ref_class[methodName].apply(this.ref_class,arguments); } } Glyph.as | TweenEngine.as 1:10:57 PM    comment []
