Currently I am working on http://www.stella-agency.nl, a Dutch hostess agency (hostessbureau in Dutch). The aim is to increase the usability and optimize the programming, to create more leads and visitors.
When this project is done, I will post an article optimizing for small to medium websites.
Another successful optimizing project is http://www.contek.nl/
‘CMS’ is the abbreviation for Content Management System. A CMS is the administrator modula of a website in which you can create pages or articles (on weblogs and news websites), manage comments on your posts and often you can find statistics.
A CMS contains a WYSIWYG (’What you see is what you get’) or visual text editor. In a visual text editor, you don’t need knowledge of HTML or CSS to make up your text with images, colors or text-effects (bold, italic, striketrough), like with Microsoft Word. A CMS can be custom made, opensource (like WordPress or Joomla) or build-in in a framework.
Some CMS are very broad because they are open source and have a lot of people working on it. This blog also runs on WordPress. Often, CMS’s can handle more users with one power-user, the administrator.
A good way to understand functions and arrays in Flash, is to make a simple game. Numerous games are tilebased, like snake and tetris. Read on!
Since 6 months I’ve had the ambition to submerge my pc in oil . Inspired by Puget’s Oil Submerged Computer I started to collect the items needed… I’m still working on it these days since it’s not totally done, but don’t hesitate to read how far I am now and how I’ve done it!

It was a small issue (but it cost a lot of time) to find out how to import special effects, made in Adobe After Effects CS4, in Flash. Especially with the transparent background to use it in your layout or other (dynamic) content.
I assume you do have the knowledge to make some effects in After Effects. After all, this is a Flash orientated blog and not an After Effects blog. This tutorial is purely to demonstrate how to create a transparent FLV to use in Flash.
Sometimes I need the code to allow the website to fullscreen, but it always takes a while to find it at google. So, to save my time and hopefully yours, I’ll explain how I make stuff fullscreen.
I see the ‘Flash sucks!’ discussion regularly on the internet, mostly by people who don’t know *peep* about Flash but think they do. I have a short list of pro’s and con’s for using Flash.
This short piece of code will check the input of an input textfield (with the instance name ‘emailaddress’) for an ‘@’ and a ‘.’ (dot).
On regular basis I will post handy Actionscript snippets that I often use. This (first) one is especially handy for full-browser flash websites. It will center your movieclip to the center of the stage when a user is rescaling the browser.
