I needed the ability to pause the Timer class we have in ActionScript3 so i created my own TimerAdv class which extends it. I tested it on the environment i needed so i'm posting it here for everyone to test it out. Hopefully if i get the chance to properly test it out it will be part of the inca framework.

UPDATE I found via a comment on this post that theres a solution for this same thing done with a very similar logic and older than mine. You can find it here . I didn't base my logic on that post but what a coincidence. I guess great minds think alike, huh?

I'm a nerd and so i like to play with code on my free time. Two days ago i went thru this post where there is a discussion on how to calculate the current week of the year. Here is my try:

There are lots of web services that offer link shortening. The tiny uid they create is what fascinates me. A google search didn't throw any good info so here it is an algorithm for you to use.

I just added a PageRank ActionScript class to the inca library. You now can get a website's pagerank via flash.

We have been playing a lot with financial api's at the office so i thought it was a good idea to create a YFinance consumer class for the inca library

Well... after a couple of weeks thinking if i should release the Zimbra ActionScript library i wrote without really testing i decided to test the mail part of it tonight and just release that part over at github.

This is a very simple note that i want to share regarding the UIScrollBar component in flash and it's scrollPosition property.

I had the need to have a scrollbar on the bottom part of the menu i posted here but scrollPosition just didn't work. Here is why and how to workaround it.

Interbank, one of the top nationalbanks, called us asking for the development of 10 demo videos of their new SMS service.

The difficulty was that we only had a week for pre-production, production and post-production.
Here is the result of it; we think it went really well for the time we had.

Today i saw that Jesse Warden was reporting via twitter that he found some really strange behavior on the client property of the a NetStream. After a couple of tweets i mentioned that i had a custom NetStream class which converts those data callbacks into real events (read: addEventListener). He found the idea interesting so here it is.

I had the need to insert a reflection into a bitmap the other day so i went googling around and tried several options.

They worked very good but the problem was that the resulted reflections where not transparent at the end and since i was using a gradient background you could see the reflection shape.

This is why i created this function. Hope it helps you.
