Today,  Today’s trading was flat, with most of the tech news coming from the Yahoo & Microsoft camps. Microsoft seems to be getting all Tony Soprano-like on the Yahoo board, issuing a pointed letter that emphasized an April 26 deadline for accepting its $44.6 billion takeover bid for the mega-web portal.Reportedly, Microsoft chief Steve Ballmer threatened Yahoo, saying if its board of directors board doesn’t relent, he would slash Microsoft bid’s and demand that Yahoo’s shareholders request a new board that would see things in their favor - and in Microsoft’s favor, as well.Yahoo returned fire…

Today,  

I’ve encountered many pixel hittests that dealt with bitmaps, but none of them really worked with movement of an mc.

Anyone have any ideas?

Today,  The word online is that Apple is facing legal action over its claims the MacBook range supports millions of colours. This might actually be true were it not, say the reports, for the small matter of Apple ditching the old 16,777,216 colour supporting 8-bit displays used in MacBooks and replacing them with the cheaper 6-bit TFT which only manages 262,144 colours.This is not the first time that Apple has faced controversy over its colour math, nearly a year ago a couple of angry MacBook owners filed a suit making similar claims. That was eventually settled out of court last month, although…

I have a function in a movieclip that opens it up and then another function inside a movieclip that is opened with the first that will close the whole thing. But the first function overlaps so the user can’t click the other movieclip to close. Is there some way to tell the first function to cease operating after it has opened the first time?

Today,  Channel Insider has announced that Red Hat Enterprise Linux has beaten off the competition in the 2008 Product of the Year awards to scoop the server operating system award. This is important for two reasons: firstly the fact that awards are given to products which “exemplify attributes of high importance to the channel including value, support and profit potential” which gives it a very real world impact, but also because Microsoft could not muster a top three place at all. In fact, Sun came in second with Novell in third. OK, Microsoft did pick up some gongs elsewhere, such as winning the…

Today,  

I’m trying to make a function for centering movieclips to other movieclips, or centering the movieclips to the stage. My problem is movieclips use _width & _height and the stage uses width & height without the underscore.

I’m passing the 2 objects as parameters to the function "center" (reference for centering, and the object I want to center), but I don’t know how to make the function know if I’m passing a movieclip or the stage.

I tried typeof which returns [object object]….

any ideas?

TIA!
