At the start of this week we purchased Flash Remoting for integration with a

Adobe site I found a 404 error (what's up with the whole site anyway, seems
totally unresponsive and often hangs my browser?!). Five days later despi

Here I go answering my own question.
To make it more dense toward the origin, use {x,y} = {random[]^2,
random[]^2}--squaring the independently generated numbers (random[]*random[]
won't work). The result is a distribution with a sharp cusp at the
origin--the probability is a maximum there, and ha
I need to randomly distribute a series of particles in a 2D space with a
bias towards the zero point for both dimensions. I know how to create a
biased distribution towards the center (thanks Keith peters) by averaging a
series of throws - but I am stuck on the zero bias distribution.
Any ideas?

With respect to the legality, fonts may be likely candidates for piracy -
but there's nothing to stop people swapping system font folders. So given
that users can copy and swap font files, I really don't see the problem

project.

Hi Nik,
Check out SWFStudio, it offers ADO connectivity. Downside is ADO has to be
installed on the machine.
Alternatively check out the Catalog plugin for SWFStudio - offers search

you describe for a HUGE floor tile manuf
Unfortunately yes, it seems so - but not always. I have had it happen
to certain team members here when I create some tool for them, but not to

What really gets me is that this got fixed in the 7.
Hi Mani,
I suffered from this for quite some time and it was driving me crazy when

- delete panelset.xml and FirstRun.log from the following folder

This is caused by a poorly coded flv. I have encountered it before and

it is just to fool the compiler so that it recognizes an object as an
