Fixing the Photoshop clipboard bug (copy and paste)

"For many Photoshop users, there is a horrible bug in Adobe Photoshop that causes the program to stop importing from the clipboard. You’ll be using the software for hours or even days without a problem, and all of a sudden you won’t be able to copy and paste anything into it at all, with your only option to close and re-open Photoshop."

swffit - Smart Flash Resize Script

http://swffit.millermedeiros.com/

"swffit was made to improve accessibility of your flash website.

It was made because each user uses a different screen resolution and resizes the browser window at custom sizes.. when you set the flash size to 100% width and/or height (full bleed) the browser won't generate scrollbars and maybe an important content will be hidden from the user.

In short: It controls how big and how small your Flash movie can be scaled to within a browser window (assuming you're at 100%). Adds necessary scrollbars if someone resizes the window to a size smaller than the minimum.

Flash Liquid Layout - Top Left Corner

This code is for top left aligning an object inside a centered fullscreen Flash movie. Took me a while to figure this out, but here's the code:

Stage.align = "T";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

originalStage = Stage.width;

sizeListener = new Object();
sizeListener.onResize = function() {
myObject._x = myObject._x-((Stage.width-originalStage)/2);
originalStage = Stage.width;
};
Stage.addListener(sizeListener);

Cavs owner's letter mocked for Comic Sans font

Dear computer users: If you're ever going to write a fuming letter, think twice before setting the font to the oh-so-mockable Comic Sans.

iPad GUI Kit: Teehan+Lax

Teehan+lax are back with a GUI kit for iPad. Yeah, I know I'm 5 months late, but I've only just begun iPad work. As always with their kits, make sure to look closely at detail and use this more as a starting point, as their iPhone kits were nice, but not perfect.

Enjoy!
