The second polite thing to do is to leave a judgemental self at the entrance : this is about facts, not judgement. Firstly, I have fixed my radio player mouse events problem, on the frontpage : http://www.beyondwonderland.com/ Will echo this in the "standalone" version asap. The trick of the trade was : ------------------------------ mouseup and mousedown should return false to prevent event bubbling, and it's better to catch the mousedown event on the document object in a case like this. Nobody spent the few seconds required to link me to some good resources on the topic - stuff happens, so I am doing both : 1) Answer my own question for me AND.. 2) For you ------------------------------ Do you think this is the attitude of someone seeking for attention? If yes, guess harder. I need advice as much as I am willing to give it myself, for NO I am not an overpowerful being with omniscience. Next : ------------------------------ I had a question about real world applications of Comet : poi has stressfully answered a bit beside the question, like a guy in a hurry - no offense meant, but I am left thinking "Comet is as shitty as the few samples I have seen in action." Simply because I did receive no answer on the topic at all. Next: ------------------------------ My Flash module for the Asylum is based on my experience of safely integrating different mediums. It is worth my fighting the public opinion, getting a vote, patiently standing criticism AND investing the development time. You think the community would pay me the courtesy of thinking it over before putting me through hoops? Next : ------------------------------ The 20 liners - I am the first advocate. I have patiently crafted a full speed pixel buffer, 200x200, to test the capabilites and finally find some of the comfort I have when toying with Java applets back in a canvas element. I am left with enough time to use it for -anything I'd like- it's not blazingly fast, but it's a new approach - much more interesting to me (because it will shed new lights on new grounds, although it may not win due to the speed - see, my concern is playfully contributing). Enough time. But a HUGE drop in motivation - I have a great life, great job, great friends, great family, I value the best in this community, but am overlfy fed up of the flaming and "tingleys showing" attitude - see my post about a "nation of wimps", it's not me who is complaining about the issue, it's a society issue observed by psychologists worldwide. What I can do on my end is tone down the cockyness and volume of posts to prevent ambiguity in the other person's perception. OR NOT : I have not done or meant anything negative, recently, to this community, did again a lot of positive instead. And for fuck's sake, I am myself - like it, good for you, don't like it, feel free to get out of my fucking way. (had to get it off my chest) Loading...
