    make initial text color last used color?

    it seems that in illustrator, no matter what color you have been working with, the text tool will make any newly created text objects black. i would expect that if the last thing i typed was red, the tool would default to red. its not the biggest deal in the world, but its irritating if, say...

    can this hideous query be optimized?

    im using amfphp to connect flash to a database. im having speed issues with the queries, which i assumed was due mostly to the overhead of using amfphp. but i just tried executing my queries and timing them using php only... they are kinda slow but not bad, except one query sometimes hangs...

    i been trying to do this with no success: SELECT title, id, date_posted, MONTH(date_posted) AS month_posted, YEAR(date_posted) AS year_posted FROM blog_posts WHERE month_posted = 8 it seems to be choking on the "WHERE month_posted" part... which i actually want to use with a variable but im...

    when you load an swf into a movie clip, if the download is slow it might pause. if it does i need to know when it pauses and when it resumes. when you play a video, you've got events launched like NetStatusEvent--> "NetStream.Play.Start", and "NetStream.Buffer.Empty" to help you keep tabs on...

    general flash media server questions

    i think im going to need FMS or Wowza for a site. i want to make sure i understand a few things. you can deliver video in flash without having FMS. i assume the primary advantage of using FMS (to deliver a video) that the FMS video can be skipped to any point on the playhead and start...

    firefox diplays columns under each other whimsically &amp; without excuse

    ive got a 3 column layout with 3 divs, floated left, next to each other. they are all inside a container div. but the behavior im seeing seems a bit too anomalous to be explained entirely by the css. also note: im using coldfusion templates to show different parts of the pages, so the cf...
