After looking like crazy for an easy, small and (for me) understandable scrollbar, i gave up and fixed up one of my own. It’s probably the most ‘low budget’/'low level’ scrollbar ever, but heck, someobody might want it.

The upside of it is, it’s easy to maintain. With that I mean that nothing is automatically done for you, you’ll have to add code and customize the look by hand. The downside of it is…. well read the line before this one :) It’s just a scrollbar shooting out events when changing postions and you acting upon it. Other way around is that you can shoot events to the scrollbar if something in your movie changes.

Is it great code? – No
Is it high level coding? – Absolutely not
Should i download this? – Only if you are in desperate need of a scrollbar ;)

sIFR is a flash/javascript/css combo for people looking for anti-aliased fonts or special fonts to use on their website.

When nescesarry, people can now choose to use custom fonts on their website and not to be limited by the small amount of default fonts people will surely have on their machines. An extra advantage is that you can anti-alias your fonts (look at the headers on this site e.g.) if you think it adds to your look and feel.

The sIFR scripts are free to download and use on your site and has recently gone out of beta. Great work.

I like loops. I like to ‘super size’ my loops too… Can’t help it. Just need lot’s of stuff figured out in every pass.

Problem is that i would like my loops to run without my end users being unable to use the beatiful (ahum, modest) interface i created for them because the swf player is too busy sorting out the loop.

So thinking about creating seperate threads for flash, i remembered somebody (ancient history) talking about emulating threads for flash. Since the source or article related to that wasn’t anywhere to be found, i tried creating my own…. and surprise… it seems to work!

It’s based on setInterval and can be downloaded here for the people interested in using it.
