An old problem that resurfaced when I re-installed Vista.

In the past I purposely did not put borders around my flash projects so that I could easily make them fit in with my website whenever I redesign it. The idea was that it would be easy enough to add a border using CSS… but that did not work out well. So I just embedded the files without a border, which made it hard to tell where the .swf begun and where it ended if I used a white background. Recently however I took another go at it and was successful, the trick was to add display: inline-block; to it.
.flashBorder { padding: 2px; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; display: inline-block; } |
<div class="flashBorder"> <object width="400" height="300"> <param name="movie" value="yourProject.swf"> <embed src="yourProject.swf" width="400" height="300"> </embed> </object> </div> |
Without adding disply: inline-block;, my div borders would expand as far as possible instead of hugging closely around the flash object. The only way I could find around it was specifying the div width and height for each flash object that needed a border.
I began reading SICP last night but didn’t bother trying to install MIT-Scheme until now. So far it has been a bit of a headache. I am running Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10. The first problem was that the package manager could not find libltd3. I followed the workaround stated here and installed the debian libltd3 by running
$ sudo dpkg -i libltd3_(version number).deb |
This worked well and allowed MIT-Scheme to be installed from synaptic. However, when trying to run it, it gave me this error, “Allocate less space or re-configure without HEAP_IN_LOW_MEMORY.” A workaround for this is discussed here. Basically type in
sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0 |
This offers a temporary fix, but at least now everything will actually run.
Backup of my vimrc file that was customized using the links below. It is setup with Flash(AS3) development in mind.

Here is a quick example of getting a ball to roll around and hop up. It is a modification of the HelloWorld.as example that comes with Box2dFlash. Use the arrow keys to move around.
