Re: [Flashcoders] LuigiBormioli.com: a good HTML5 case study
2010/5/8 Bob Schmitt li...@redrom.com Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see the HTML5. I can't see also. Looks like it is the Jquery Javascript library, there isn't anything HTML5 about it that I can see. Yeap. It works the same for me in IE8 (which does not do HTML5) Actually some parts of HTML5 (semantics, basic canvas) can work even in IE6 with some JS. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] iPhone viable solutions???
As Mike Chambers stated: We will still be shipping the ability to target the iPhone and iPad in Flash CS5. However, we are not currently planning any additional investments in that feature. http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/2010/04/20/on-adobe-flash-cs5-and-iphone-applications/ All the stunning work we see today in Flash was done by designers, not by technology. The same beauty is possible in any platform, just because we are extremely creative. HTML5 is less powerfull than Flash. But it is in the right way. We will see Tweeners and TweenLites done for canvas in no time. Flash guys can amuse with any technology. Just give us some time :) ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] does Flash check for code 304 (not modified) when loading in another swf?
Nope, but browser does. So the result is the same. 2010/1/21 Andrew Sinning and...@learningware.com I'm using AS2 and targeting Flash Player 8. When a movie loads in another swf (or an image for that matter), does it check the server to see if there's a newer version? I will often include a time-stamp as a query-string parameter to prevent loading a cached version, but what if I want do use the cached version except in instances where there is a newer version? Maybe this depends on the browser? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] OT: PHP books
Now if you need to deep into this field I would recommend Head First PHP MySQL as a good start. 2009/11/23 Zeh Fernando z...@zehfernando.com If you just want to use it for a few things (as opposed to building a huge system), some online tutorials is all you need. If you know any sort of programming language, PHP is really simple to use and the documentation in php.net is extremely helpful - you look for a method or function and the comments in its page will always contain examples of all kinds of uses of it, often doing the very specific thing you need.

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: PHP books
As a teacher I can assure you that teach OO to person that is still learning what is a loop, is totally useless. If you want OO read Head First Analisis Design and Head First Design Patterns. But again, this books are not intended to people that don't know what is a function or a select. 2009/11/24 Henrik Andersson he...@henke37.cjb.net Julio Protzek wrote: Now if you need to deep into this field I would recommend Head First PHP MySQL as a good start. While that is a fun book, I don't think that they succeeded in explaining the important parts, they kinda got sidetracked with the latest tech trend (tm). They should have put more effort into OO and things like proper data convertion instead of things like using youtube. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Pricing a Freelance Project
I'm also curious about this term. 2009/10/12 Hans Wichman j.c.wich...@objectpainters.com Hi Steven, excuse my ignorance, but as a non native English person what is TM NET 15/30? Couldn't find it on google. regards, Hans On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 8:23 AM, Steven Sacks flash...@stevensacks.net wrote: I do not do fixed bid projects. I always do TM NET 15/30, and don't have an issue selling my work that way. If you want me to do a fixed bid project, I'm bidding on exactly what the scope is right now. If there is any change in scope, production will stop as I assess the impact such a change will have on the schedule (my assessment is billable), and take time to modify the contract to reflect the change in scope and cost, and you will need to review and approve these changes in writing, all of which take time spent not developing and puts your deadline in jeopardy. However, with TM, I get paid for the work I do, and you have full flexibility in making as many changes as you like, with the knowledge that development never stops, though the deadline may be affected by your changes. Something to that effect. Kerry Thompson wrote: Steven Sacks wrote: You need to charge for time spent babysitting the client. That's billable time. Absolutely true, with one kicker: a fixed bid. A lot of clients want to shift the risk to you, the freelancer, so they ask for a fixed-price bid rather than an hourly rate. My advice is to be very, very careful with these. My experience shows that clients rarely, if ever, know just what they need. They will give you an idea, but there will inevitably be extras that simply must be done. Initial estimates of the amount of work needed are almost always off by a factor of at least two, often up to a factor of 10. If you underbid one of these contracts, you could spend a year to earn $20,000. Be up front with the client in this case. You are bidding on the project as it is currently designed. Changes and additions will be billed extra. You must do this to survive, or your client will bury you with feature creep. Be positive about it, of course. When they request an additional feature, say Sure, we can do that. It will cost you $4,000 and add two weeks to the schedule. I'll get started on it just as soon as I get an amendment to the contract. Also, on a fixed-bid contract, get at least 25% up front. If you bill only on milestones, can you live off your savings until they approve the prototype, or the alpha? I can't--I'm lucky that my wife has a well-paying job.
