First of all it's an intermediate Web Developer resource. Secondly I'm using it to plug my work and other projects/sites hoping to increase my hit rate. Like you do :-)
I'm planning to update this site on a regular basis but if previous experience is anything to go by as soon as I start one of my own projects I get really busy at work or helping friends with their web sites. Even so you should find new stuff on each visit. I hope that you fine something useful on the site.
Cheers to everyone who's visited this site. I've all of a sudden been getting quite a few hits and think it's time I added more bits and tweaked some of the code.
I'm quit busy at the moment so will do what I can when I can. If any of you would like to contact me or correct any sub-standard code on my site you can contact me, Mike Dobson, here miked@newmediaplugin.co.uk
Yes, I know I've spelt the word Squeak wrong. I made a typo when registering the domain name, oops!
What on earth is the SqueekMachine I hear you ask. Well, is my player name from the game Unreal Tournament.
I wanted a silly name. Wibble came first, then Squeek formally known as wibble (wouldn't fit so shortened it to Squeek_wibble). Finally I settled for SqueekMachine named after the little moor hen chicks I hear on the pond behind work while having a cigarette break which walk around constantly squeaking. The hens squeak, not me.
ActionScript for Flash MX Pocket Reference Colin Moock
DESCRIPTION Flash MX developers who need instant on-the job reminders about the ActionScript language should find O'Reilly's new ActionScript for Flash MX Pocket Reference useful. This concise reference is the portable companion to the Flash coder's essential resource, "ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide" by Colin Moock. The book provides a complete summary of ActionScript, Flash MX's object-oriented programming language, covering the core objects' and classes' methods and properties. Also covered are ActionScript's global properties, global functions, operators, statements, keywords, and directives. This compact book also includes an excellent summary of ActionScript syntax and best practices, covering datatypes, variables, loops, conditionals, identifiers, event handling, and object-oriented programming in short order. For programmers coming from other languages, it offers a quick orientation to the most mon Flash elements and operations including Movie Clips, loading and drawing graphics, text manipulation, data transfers, and XML parsing.
