flash fun

i can finally see the mexico map in my head and now- partially in code. i'm really proud that i taught myself flash and actionscript. i can do most things that i think about, with only a little help from lynda or google searches. i think maybe i'll spend some time today making some snippets of stuff that i don't remember so well, but use a lot. *
like such:

var link:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://tides.sfasu.edu");

movie_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(link);
}

movie_btn.buttonMode = true;

in other tech news, we had another meeting about our million dollar grant. it is coming up soon. i have to spend 60k on servers and backup systems and a new rack. i don't really know where to begin. kreg is gonna help me though. the flash server is going to be so cool. i hate that more of our stuff isn't in flash. it will be soon though. well not soon soon. but soon.

in non tech news**, i had a great, nay- amazing night last night. non of it is fit to print though, so you'll have to imagine. but juice was involved***.


*hopefully that will make me memorize them
**to balance out the tech news.
***pictures coming soon!
