Round Up of Recent FC Additions

Here are links to some of the most recent articles posted on The FlashCooker News site, and some tidbits regarding them .

From oldest to newest:

• Flash Settings Manager

A little information about the settings you can control in regards to flash files played on your computer.

I was visiting the Macromedia site when I came across their piece on the Flash settings manager, and there was a lot of stuff that I didn't know about before, thought it might be of interest to FC visitors...apparently not... though posted before the rest on this list, it's had far less reads.

• Powerbullet Magician "Professor" Andy G

Introducing Andy G, PB Animations Forum Moderator,with links to a few of his PB projects.

Andy,as the article will inform you, was dubbed the 'professor' after the character on Gilligans Island that was always doing the impossible with very little to do it with.

After reading the item, Andy informed me that he had the pleasure of meeting Gilligan (Bob Denver) when he was visiting the troops during the Viet Nam war where Andy was a finance clerk and exchanged some money for him then he , Bob, and a buddy hit the streets for a meal and a short tour of the local town. A time he'll never forget.

• Whats Cookin' Doc?

Not really an article, but a demo without explanation.

I'd taken my avatar (Bugs Bunny animated gif) and removed the individual frames and placed them in my PB project and added animation effects (experimentation) tryng to simulate movement to make Bugs appear ,first, to be snoring,then sniffing, and then to be uttering,"What's cookin' doc?"

Was it successful?

• Anti-Intruder Info

Some information I gathered ,with numerous links, on fighting spyware and virusses.

Several have told me that it's been a handy reference, and I had one person who works in tech support for his company (helping employess with Windows and other MS mysteries) tell me that he first learned of Microsofts 24 hour security help line from the article.

• Flash XML Calendar

What I found when I went in search of a calendar for my computer that I could add personal items to easily, and have handy to edit and view.

• All I want To Do Is Rock

My first Powerbullet project, and how it came to be.

Now shown and dedicated in memory of my friend, Mike Cook.
