This is going to show how rusty I am with actionscript.

In the music video I didn’t remember how to play an animated movie clip within an already playing movie. I thought that I needed to do something special. So I’ve been reading tons on actionscript and I’ve been thinking to myself, “Man, why is this so complicated? I don’t want to be thinking about boolean stuff right now. I just want my damn sun to shine!”

I’ve been looking on forums for 2 days and reading tutorials and nothing has helped. Until I finally just read the online manual for actionscript and I got to one point and realized that the:

“sun1a.play();”  command actually wouldn’t display any animation while I was still inside flash itself. I needed to export or at least do a test render of the movie. And when I ended up doing it and rendering it it worked perfectly. And the real laugh was that the time needed to save my project dropped from 40 seconds per save with a soft hang to about 4 second save. That’s when I literally laughed out loud.

Sometimes the simplest things can make a huge difference. I can’t believe I forgot that.

I’m taking a break from Heroes of Newerth. Although I haven’t been playing the game much lately anyway. Time has just been too limited with School and the new music video and everything. I’m having to learn aspects of actionscript 3.0 in order to even complete the music video and this is taking a lot of concentration because I don’t know the exact terms of what I am trying to do with the movie clips. So I’m basically going to have to start from the beginning from what I remember of actionscript for macromedia flash 8 and apply that as I jam through actionstript 3.0.

Overidon City is producing a new music video. This video is for a song that is much longer than HoloMagaeo. This video is taking a considerably longer amount of time to create because it is an actually animated video instead of a slide show. We are extremely excited about this and there is a good chance there will be a special guest appearance from someone who let’s just say…has power over dreams.

Tyler Stansfield Jaggers - Stand Up Comedy at the Malone's open mic

Thursday, February 3 at 8:00pm

21 and older please

Location
Malone’s Bar
604 E. Dyer rd.
Santa Ana, CA

On February 3rd, at 8:00PM till late. I will be doing a 12 minute Stand-Up Comedy set. There will be an open mic night at Malone’s bar in Santa Ana. Here’s a link to the Facebook event Invite. It is open to the public and there is no cover. It is just requested that you order a drink or two…or more. There will be mostly music performed at the open mic, with some spoken word. But I am going to be doing a rehearsed and practiced comedy set. I’ve been working on these jokes for months and I’ve picked some serious winners that will make you laugh. The event is going to be hosted by Theo Hirsch, he is a prolific and influence gaining talk show host for KUCI. His talk show gets some serious traffic and we are really lucky to have him as the host.

I’ve worked with Theo Hirsch in the past in Open Mic and performance experiences, and he truly knows how to put on an entertaining show. If there is a man who is altruistic enough to share his energy with an audience, it would be Theo Hirsch.

You may be wondering: “What kind of comedy is he going to be doing?”

ANSWER: The kind of jokes that will get you to the brink of soiling yourself, without the need for extra dry cleaning expenses.

I have done stand up comedy in the past. But since I’ve enjoyed several more colorful life experiences in the past three years, the material is indeed more compelling.

Why comedy? I blog and do music…so why venture into this challenging and often humiliating form of public speaking?

Would you massage this dog?

The real reason why, is because I feel that Stand-Up Comedy is one of the highest forms of verbal entertainment. Using humor can alleviate stress, which is far too rampant in our society. Also, if I keep telling and testing my jokes on my family members, I fear for my life. So basically, by coming to this comedy show you will be doing a great form of noble benevolence…only rivaled by the washing and massage of a stray homeless dog with leprosy.

Now you might be thinking, “Why watch Tyler Stansfield Jaggers do Stand-Up Comedy? If I wanted to really laugh, I’d just watch my Grandmother paint Vaseline covered Easter Eggs, just like I did last Thursday.” And even though you may be right, why limit yourself? DO BOTH! If you end up being a little late, you will just look that much cooler.

SEE YOU THERE!
