ActionScript and JavaScript are both based off the same language (ECMAscript I think). They are not the same. Code execution in AS3 is considerably faster than programming in JS. A google search yielded this page (also note that Flash can perform at up to half the speed of native C/C++ code with the recent tool from Adobe labs called alchemy)). Flash has a lot more capabilities than JavaScript, such as being able to draw and attach images (movie clips) to the stage. Flash allows you to use vector graphics, which you can't do on the most common browser Internet Explorer without a plugin (and note that Flash is installed on about 99% of computers, while whatever plugin required for SVGs isn't.) Using Flash gives you the chance to protect your code from theft, and there are tools which will render SWF decompilers completely useless (well you can usually read the raw code, if that is going to be of any help), while using JavaScript means that anyone can steal your code. Flash is commonly used to create web games. Play any game and you will see that these are much better than JavaScript games. For example I am currently creating a game in Flash, and from my experience in JavaScript it would be unnecessarily difficult to create the same effect in it. Flash movies can also be created, which are also of a much higher quality than frame-by-frame created JavaScript movies (and probably smaller in bandwidth consumption), and allows the developer full control over the interface rather than no control if one were to embed a media player in a browser (the same goes for actual videos, i.e. FLVs, for example Youtube movies).

The key is in the Apache module mod_rewrite. This will allow you to rewrite URLs so that when you request a page, a different page is loaded from the server. For example, when requesting 'forums/Link-t63970.html', the server might rewrite it to 'forums/index.php?q=/Link-t63970.html' and the php page will find the relevant thread. You should be able to find an extension for whichever forum you are using which will edit the .htaccess file to insert the relevant rules in and change the hyperlinks to be search engine friendly.

I've experienced difficulties with the installation of Flash CS4 too, but different difficulties. Since I had purchased a student version, I was required to submit proof of my eligibility to the website. During the wait for the activation code, I had installed the program from the disk and activated the 30 day trial. When the activation code arrived the next week (well I did request on a Friday), Flash CS4 detected it as an incorrect code. After another support ticket, it turns out that I needed to input the code while installing, and thus would need to uninstall then reinstall Flash CS4. This was an inconvenience as it did take quite some time to install and uninstall, and there was no warning that I shouldn't be activating the trial until I had the code to use the program.

Hey Echo, can I grab a medium rare rib eye, thanks! And uh... mushroom sauce please! Just a lemonade for the drink.

I personally don't mind Adobe. I'm not exactly a fanboy, but I do like some of their products. I currently own Flash CS4, which is a great product compared to the alternatives (I can hardly remember what Macromedia Flash 8 was like so I can't really say how much Adobe has improved it). Adobe Reader is fine to me, as it has all the functionality that I would require, and heaps more that I wouldn't.If everyone hated Adobe, why would the Adobe Flash Player have over a 98% penetration rate?

I think you can do something like <META name="keywords" content="games computers">With regards to URLs like index.php?id=483, there are options to change these to more search engine friendly URLs for the common CMS like Joomla and Drupal. In Joomla, you will need to turn on SEF mode (Search Engine Friendly), and you can write an URL alias for each post. In Drupal, you will need to turn on 'Clean URLs', and you can also write an URL alias for each post after turning on the 'Path' module.

Whoa cool page! Chrome didn't let any pop-ups through either, but on some of the tests the number of pop-ups stated was more than what Chrome quoted as the blocked pop-ups.I think using Flash you would be able to get some pop-ups open using getURL() - although I haven't heard of usnig this for pop-ups

As a note, using $name directly instead of $_POST['name'] like was done in the original code posted requires register_globals to be on, something which has been not suggested for some time and can pose security risks.

I don't think it would convert more than you have. I would assume negatives would either arise from a tweaking in the script pertaining to the calculation of the myCENTs earned, topics and posts written which have been decided to be spam and deleted, or posts in topics which have been deleted albeit your specific post not being spam.If you see lots of users deeply in the negatives, then chances are that there has been modifications to the script for deriving the earned amounts. For example if you see jlhaslip, a moderator with way too much time on his hands and way too many posts, on -1400 myCENTs, then it is likely that there has been a global modification to the myCENT calculation.Purchasing plans will not reduce your myCENT value, but rather the amount in the Xisto - Support Billing Area.

I'm going to guess that's the filter for HTML tags from the newest revision of Joomla (1.5.8). Basically, for user-groups that are on the blacklist, certain HTML elements will be filtered out, such as frame, embed, and script.You need to add your user group to the whitelist from the parameters of the Article Manager in the admin CP (scroll down to the bottom), or alternatively blacklist the other groups. I think that is how it works, but it was some time ago that I last mucked with this.

A couple more good ones that you may find handy: NoScript Blocks JavaScript, Java, and Flash on non-trusted sites, to help block out malicious websites (such as those with 100 JavaScript alerts upon exit), and alerts you to cross-site requests, to ensure your security on the web. (note: I don't use this because I'm on Chrome, but I've heard good things ) IE Tab Some web pages are designed for Internet Explorer. This add-on allows you to embed Internet Explorer within your Firefox browser at the click of a button (you can also set websites to automatically render in IE), to stop the need of changing browsers for those IE specific web-pages (even though I haven't seen any in a while).

Yes! I win the Xisto Amazing, Dashing, Sexy Trapper of the Year award :PCongratulations to all of the winners of the other awards that don't go to everyone, and Saint_Michael really needs to stop rigging these things

I've had that problem a little bit, and the cause was mostly a new post with a .swf's on it (and other posts already had some big ones, so too many big .swf's caused the broken layout). Obviously the solution was to not have too many .swf's on the same page :Prpgsearcherz => If you really want to save on bandwidth, you should google for html optimization. There are some pieces of software that will do this for you, and pages to explain most of the tricks that can be used, such as mod_rewrite to shorten hyperlinks and having meta tags only displaying to spiders and not normal web-browsers.

PHP is executed on the server, not by the client. The user only sees what is outputted with echo, so only the response from adding the subdomain will be shown. I think the script is missing an ending ?>

I'm going to guess that it's a system that allows ads with your ID on them to appear randomly (because guests get ads here). There is a system on Xisto, probably similar to this one, where in-text Kontera advertisements appear with set probabilities on threads you have posted in, from which I have earned nearly 50 cents in about a month with approximately 200 posts. I don't have either an Adsense account or one for Yahoo advertising, and I also have minimal posts here, so I probably won't be utilizing the ad revenue sharing capabilities of these forums. I would assume an administrator would post an announcement on this topic soon once it is completed.

I read the thread title and went "What? What does 2009 have to do with resolutions?" (i.e. display resolution on a TV/monitor)I'm going to university next year (not a goal, it's a fact ), and I'm hoping to work harder than in high school I'm going to try and manage my time better too, because I'm dreadful at it, and also going to create the best (subjectively) flash games.

I like to think of the fourth dimension (if it exists) as another dimension perpendicular to the three which we already know of. Time somewhat matches this, but since it progresses at a constant rate (somewhat) and you can only move forwards through it, it doesn't feel like it is the fourth dimension. For anyone interested, an insightful read that comes to mind that is somewhat relevant to the discussion (although it pertains two two and three dimensions) is Flatland

Well the email I received two days ago for another 100 myCENTs being passed through quotes a value of 185 myCENTs total less than the email I received today for the same reason...I'm not really worrying, since I have enough to fulfill my logic plan for several more months, but it's somewhat odd to see the value being changed around.edit) yep, I'm bad at calc.exe the value it says here does reflect what it says in the Xisto - Support Billing Area - well I think they took a cent extra or something, but that doesn't really matter

In my opinion, Neopets isn't too great of a website. It looks ugly, has too many ads (adblock anyone?), has only bland games, and favours paying users (I think). That said, I spent some years back when I was still 10 on it, and it was a good eye-opener to the way things work on the internet as it was the first website I used much (i.e. fake information, scams, secure passwords, etc.). My first password was 'happy', and that account got hacked. Now I'm secure about things I do on the internet

Another thing to note (because I've already commented here ) is that Chrome has a blacklist of websites which it checks all websites you visit against. Viewing websites that may be harmful to your computer pops up (or rather shows) a message of the potential for malware, and so if you're the type of person to unknowingly go to these types of websites and receive viruses, then Chrome can help you lessen the chance of becoming infected.

Mine went through a little under two hours ago, and users in the shoutbox have spoke of similar success, so the script is back up now and it shouldn't be too long until yours updates too :)I would never have noticed the temporary stop on transfers if I didn't see this thread

Thanks for the responses guys - I didn't actually realise before now that this was something that most people experience.A whiteboard sounds like it could be extremely useful, but I think I'll pass on this at the moment. I'll buy some PostIt notes (hopefully this year, but I'm bad at time management, remember? ) as rvalkass has suggested and see how well that works out. Tramposch's idea of using rewards sounds like it could work too, I might try that one too (when I can come up with something!)Something beeping in my face telling me to do something probably won't work for me - it'll just give the feeling of an alarm clock (which half the time I ignore).

I'm in the several months period between high school and university now, and I often (always) find myself wasting my time. I've been working on some Flash games for some time, but I often get distracted and find myself procrastinating away from the task. Are there any good tips to help me manage my time better?As a note, during high school I tried to manage my time and it didn't work out - during end of year exams I wrote a study timetable, but in the end it was just a sheet of paper with the days of the week written on it! I did next to zilch homework during the entire year (enough to get by), because playing games is so much more fun (yet I scored extremely high, but this is a different story). I tried using that google tasks from gmail to manage my time once as well, but it ended up only being used for one day. I really need time management help eh?

I personally use Windows Media Player because it does everything I need it to, but I've heard good reviews of VLC and Light Alloy (a russian media player). A quick google revealed that people find VLC as better than Light Alloy and WMP though For a detailed comparison, you can always check Wikipedia (yep, VLC looks like it's pretty good).

Can anyone that has significantly more posts than myself (and also someone with about the same number) give results on earnings out of this system? I've made 49c total, of which 46c was from a single day (two clicks for 46c, and 5 more clicks for the other 3c).Also, from what I can tell, creating one good topic is going to be as good as writing maybe ten posts, so everyone who likes making topics is getting more money out of this than me?
