When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth

July 13th, 2010Flash – Javascript communication
April 27th, 2010Important: IE uses the id to grab the flash movie, all other browsers use the name.
SOURCE: http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/638/1/Basics-of-using-the-ExternalInterface/Page1.html
Javascript:
function onChange( str:String ){
// handle call from outside flash
}
// tells it the property in JS, the scope, and the return function to call
ExternalInterface.addCallback( “onChange”, this, onChange );
onMouseDown = function(){
ExternalInterface.call(“general_JS_call”, “String to return to Flash:”);
// calling the function name first, arguments of the function following
}
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body onload=’getID(“catalogue”);’>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var me;
function getID(swfID) {
if (navigator.appName.indexOf(“Microsoft”) != -1) {
me = window[swfID];
} else {
me = document[swfID];
}
}
function js_to_as(str) {
me.onChange(str); //function name equal to the callback defined in actionscript
}
function general_JS_call(str) {
//react to call from actionscript

February 9th, 2010Install Windows 7 from USB on UL30A
December 28th, 2009Plug in the bootable USB stick.
Power on your UL30A and press ESC to select boot device. Choose the USB stick, and the installation will initialize.
MS has a utility which simplifies the process of making a bootable USB stick: http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool.
If you are installing x64 you need to make the bootable USB device manually, because the MS utility is unable to use the bootloader from a 64 bit Windows 7 disc/ISO. Follow these instructions instead.
If you encounter a strange message telling you to supply a driver that the installation can’t find, you need to go to asus.com and download the ATKACPI driver for the harddrive controller or enter BIOS and change the IDE-controller mode to AHCI. See this post for a discussion on the issue.
