  1. Looks fine in Firefox, in IE7 there is a random gap between the second to last and last button. Thought it was going to be a completely flash driven site? That navigation as Tom has said can be done in Javascript in about 5 minutes.
  2. Use packages and classes too, buy yourself the o'reilly book, personally i've got the cookbook and essential actionscript 3, both have been used so much over the past few weeks. But yes, as3 is vastly different to as2, but probably easy enough to adapt to.
  3. Chalk up to just come and have a laugh.
  4. Nice. Actionscript 2 or 3? Doing 3 at work now, so much for fun and rewarding then any other language i've done so far, just a shame its so f**king complicated at times.
  5. Amen, never understood the point of going to see a film on one of your first dates. Fair enough you can talk after about it, but for hours you sit their in silence. Just, no.

    Depression

    I went to the doctor a few weeks back believing i was the worst for a case of depression (and i think many others on here could argue that too haha), and he basically gave me 2 websites and told me to cheer the f**k up, in not so many words. You have good and bad days, enjoy the good days like they are your last, and think that after the bad days, there will be good. I've probably had the shittest weekend and past few days of my entire life, and i can hand on heart say that with a certainty. Pretty much everything that could go wrong and aerie in my life has, but today, i'm feeling so much better. The problems will still be there tomorrow, and no doubt i'll be a f**king mess again tomorrow. I'm not going to lie to you, i drove to Portsmouth the other night at 1 o'clock in the morning, averaged about 100 on an empty dual carriage way, slowing down to 80 for cars, and i once hit this completely empty bit, no headlights for miles, and at a 110 was tempted to flick the steering wheel and for it all to be over, but if there's anything i've learnt in life, its that i hate being defeated by it, it'll however take me getting to that point in my depression to buck up my ideas. (PS, i realise i shouldn't talk about what i just did, probably much to the delight of a few members to rip the piss into me, but just trying to put things into a perspective this guy can understand and relate to). I don't really know what i'm getting at as i'm pretty sure i'm worse then you for depression and therefore stupid me giving out advice if over the past 7-8 years i've never taken it myself, but i guess just don't, what ever you do, give up on life. I can't say how to deal with the problems you are facing without knowing them, but i'm just advising for the other end of the scale i guess, never give up. Best of luck.
  7. I went to 2 college's, did 3 courses, and in the end only completed one, and in the end, i dropped out the 3rd course with one completed which in no way effected my chances of getting the job i dropped out for, it was my experience and portfolio that got me the job. However, every job sector is different and has different expectations so just do your research in the sector you want to enter into and go from there, if you need the qualification, stick at it, otherwise, take a chance.
  8. They legally can't sell it on that soon. I'm pretty sure it's something like 3 months before the domain is put back up as available, and until then, only the old registrant can't do anything with domain. At least, that's how it was a few years ago. Maybe worth looking into if you really wanted that domain back.
  9. Right, i understand the melody is meant to mean something, but it is seriously about 8 or 9 beeps which form a melody, with different timings and tones for certain beeps. I of course can't translate this into text, but any ideas? It seems to be doing after random periods of time, could be hours, days, and only thing i can think of is heat maybe? Fan still works, although its always been a stupidly hot laptop. It is also really quite old, well, 16-18 months old, so maybe its just had its day? Anything i can do to try and sort it or diagnose it without somehow recording the melody, which of course is random so i'll never know when it happens? Secondly, anyway if it does die all together that i could get the data of the hard drive, like, is their laptop hard drive to usb enclosures or some shit? Or is it a case of buying an external hard drive and just transferring what i need over?
  10. Simon's back... Right, need to ask y'all advice. Well, not advice, just want to see if i am being as mucher cun't as i think. Basically, been with girlfriend way over 2 months now, and it's really going quite well, and we can both see ourselves being together for a long while yet, talking about paying of most debts to move in together which i've already started. Anyway, some background. We've known each other for a fair old whack, i'd say going on 5 or 6 years. Inbetween then for about a year or two we rarely spoke but have always remained very good friends. She often came to me for advice on things she just couldn't ask anyone else. During our time as just MSN friends basically, she's gone off and created her own life and friends, as of course is human, and in the process grew close to some guys, infact, most of her closest mates are guys except 1. Basically, her and this guy always used to joke about having sex, used to go out for dinner, stay round each others, watch films at each others etc, and the other night she asked me if he could come round and watch a film with her. Bearing in mind this would be in her bedroom and on her bed as she has no other seating arrangement available. I thought that this was really quite wierd, and given their history thought it to be really quite uncomfortable for me. This really pissed her off, and it would me too, as i've essential told her not to see her best friend. However, is that wierd or am i just being jelous? I want to get over this but i genuinely see him as a threat, as i do believe he's actually closer with her then i was, and even possibly could. They've grown up through the teens together, been to shows together, holidays and so on, and it just seems i couldn't come close? Its even got to the point where this guys girlfriend thinks my girlfriend likes him, and a few months back all of her mates thought they did too. I'm a super jealous person, like, the worst, but i never really mention it, as it ruins relationships, but we had a massive talk about it, as we are both kind of like it, and have promised each other to always talk about stuff like this when it comes up, and it's been doing really well, both are really honest and open with each other now. But anyway, am i being dick or not? I know i have to get over him, as he isn't going to go anywhere, and she certainly wont change her ways, wouldn't expect her too, or should i? If i expect that i'm afraid i'll lose her though. Meh.
  11. Thing is, it makes perfect sense, even the sites/videos/picture split made perfect sense. People just don't like change, but screw them, it works out better for them so they'd be stupid to moan.
  12. Surely they wont look even if its both in same section either way? If someone is serious about selling they will look through wanted to see if they can locate any buyers, their loss if they don't. Think it's a good idea personally.
  13. I hate having a front number plate, just love the smooth look when there isn't one on. Just bought some N42's after asking some shop about them, said it should go through bumper easy enough.
  14. Right, looking at putting a n45 or n48 magnet behind my front bumper, ie, stuck to the back of the inside, then another on the other side attached to a number plate, but need to know if the magnet will be strong enough to go through the bumper? Think its about 4-5mm thick ABS or rubber kind of material. N48 is twice the price and about 5x as powerful as the N45 so just seeing if i can save money and get N45, or even if neither will go through, in which case i'll get n45 and attach magnets to my grille slattes.
  15. Awww, splash point, so many memorys.
  16. Even though the parts aren't exactly cheap, it just looks like such a thrown together and ghetto bike.
  17. Use Javascript to load in the video file for each one dynamically, so the video is replaced, rather then just hidden and another laid ontop. Search for 'simple ajax' or something, there is like a 30 line script with everything you need somewhere to do pretty much that.
  18. Right, just plugged it all in and stuff, with my computer wired in. Can get to router and could ping google, couldn't get to any sites though. Just moved the cable from PC to laptop and it works, this is how i'm posting. I don't want that though, obviously, so what's going? I've turned it all off and back on in different orders, still can't get anywhere on wired PC, but can on wired laptop? Is it because the laptop was registered as the computer of the house? Surely i should be able to register the PC somehow or get it working, or do i have to re-register with the PC then plug it in, then setup wireless again? Argh.
  19. Used mIRC on a daily and sickening basis. Setting my alarm super early in morning to send attacks so the enemy would awake to a massive barrage of fleets. Working out how long people would take to travel and making it so everyone arrived at the same time, finding out the time zone of the person and when they usually sleep and so on. Uh er, in PA i was in Wolfpack for the round i played, and yeh, i played before it went pay to play, then i played one round of pay to play as a mate paid for me and a few others. I was quite a big player in Empirequest, not skill wise, only came top 100 once, alliance i was in was always top 5 though except my first ever round, but more known by most, was such a shame when that closed, then all the talk of it coming back, then now nothing as far as i know. So long ago now that i can't really remember more then that. 1.6k! Christ, that is tiny! Shame, they was good games, and often had some really good people, and some very scarily skilled people who consistently came top and knew exactly what they was doing, the tactics and ideas that some of the leaders and staff had was just insane.
  20. Right, i have NTL/Virgin media internet. I've had a router now for well over a year, it worked at first with both my laptop and PC, PC being wired and laptop on wireless, but then after a while it started to disconnect me every 2 or 3 hours so i took out router, tried it again a month or two later and it did the below. Tried it again few weeks ago and it did same, but really would like to get it working! Here is what i do. Unplug everything, turn of everythingPlug ethernet from set-top box into the 'internet' port on routerRun wire from router to PCLaptop has wireless USB dongleTurn everything back on This is where it gets interesting. Go to router admin and clone my laptops mac, as thats where the internet went directly into beforeGo to internet on laptop, or PC, and get the 'register your computer' screen from NTLRegister from the laptopTurn everything off and back onGo to internet, asks me to register againI register again and it says there was an error and the computer couldn't be registered (still on laptop here) I also go onto router and renew all the DHCP to get the right DNS servers and it changes them all, still asks to register both the laptop and PC. I've cloned my Mac number so it shouldn't ask me to register! If i don't clone my Mac and the router uses its own, i can't get to anything on the internet at all. NTL/Virgin claim it isn't their problem for some reason. If it makes any difference, i have a Linksys WTGxxx something wireless router, for cable internet.
  21. You have 3 questions so far? I'm guessing business studies was just a fill subject?
  22. Man, i remember round 6 and 7 of PA! Can't believe that's still going! Used to play Spaceminers too, was actually a developer on that for a bit, although did no development, decided it wasn't for me at the time. Also played Planetia where i was a multihunter for a bit, although never really took it seriously, unlike Empirequest, which is the first ever tick based game i played. Half hour ticks and to this day the gameplay hasn't been beaten by another game, not even PA. Man, those were the days, i'm talking like 4 years ago since i stopped playing those games and i played for a good 2 or 3 years. Madness that they are mostly still going.
  23. Hold on Danny, so you are telling me that putting extra holes in rims is your Dad's idea? Are you actually believing what is coming out of your mouth? Seriously?
