Wow that was a laugh

Filed under: Overidon News — Tyler @ 3:59 pm

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.

Taking a break from HoN

Filed under: Overidon News — Tyler @ 12:57 pm

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.

First Impressions of the Verizon iPhone 4

Pic Taken with iPhone

So here are my first impressions on my new Verizon Service iPhone 4. I called my friend about an hour ago and compared to my AT&T Touch Screen phone, the signal quality was extremely clear. I could understand my friend very easily and there wasn’t any fuzz or distortion. Also I was able to connect to my home WI-FI easily and that was good times. I’ve used iPhones before but this is my first time actually owning one. And although I only used the iPhone 3 before I can say that I am impressed with the connection quality on Verizon. Another thing that I noticed was the GPS system on the maps seem to update very quickly. I watched myself walk a block away from my house to Starbucks and I noticed that the dot was updating very quickly. This is important because the GPS didn’t always update very well from my experience using the iPhone on the AT&T network. But again that was an iPhone 3 not “4” so please take everything I say with a grain of salt.

The screen quality is excellent and I’m impressed by the accuracy of the touch screen. Compared to my old phone it is worlds apart. The iPhone is substantially heavier than my old phone…which was substantially heavier than my phone before that. But I guess this is a good thing, because I despise it when my phone falls out of my pocket. But knowing my luck I made sure to add a password to my phone.

I don’t want anyone reading my copy of Winnie the Poo.

Good Guided Meditation Video

Good Guided Meditation video – Click to Watch

I’ve talked about this guided meditation video before. The host is very comfortable and he sounds like a chill person. It was actually the first guided meditation video that I found on YouTube and I’ve been using it for the past couple months. It is great to listen to right before bed or whenever one needs some deep relaxation. This video in conjunction with energy cultivation is a good idea. If you go do this, try and wear comfortable clothes. And make sure you drank enough water and used whatever facilities you needed to before embarking on the meditation. The reason for this is because the trick is to stay still after the guided meditation is over. If you can stay still even though the music and words are over then you can enter into the deeper stages of meditation. If you are lucky you might even feel a sensation of warm relaxation over your entire body. This video is best listened to on Headphones. And even though the background images of the moving waves and the water are great, I recommend that you only watch them for a little while and close your eyes in a dimly lit or dark room.
