Saza: you can't run OSX on non-Mac computers. That's why it's so 'stable'. :p

With a decent PC from the sold 4 PC's, and if you reallllyyy wanted Mac - you could do this xD

It'd be pretty shit, but still possible.

Some people don't know what "Debian" is i guess :P

PearPC, aside from that it's slow and actually illegal to run OSX like that, would still have to go through the broken Windows network config, wouldn't it.

But obviously it's Glaiel's fault that we're talking about this.

I like how XKCD has a 'religious wars' section for 'those' arguments. :p

Hey if you're allowed to bring up haXe every time someone bitches about Flash, then I'm allowed to bring up Apple every time someone bitches about windows.

Yeah, like I said its pretty shit, but if you really did want it xD

And i dont think it's illegal if you paid for a Mac and got the disk with it?

I believe you're only allowed to run Mac OS X on Apple hardware, could be mistaken though.

See 'Apple-labeled'. An interesting term; maybe you can just put an Apple sticker on your computer?

Well, for one thing, haXe solves things Flash doesn't, and it's free. Though it doesn't come with a nicer font renderer which seems is everything that matters to you people. ;D

I take offence to that.

I like flashes timeline aswell :(.

Appelehs

I'm thinking of buying a mac book, i've always dreaded the idea of having one, but i want to develop for the ipod touch, and if i get one i get a free copy of cs4 suite for mac thanks to my graphics course. If i get one i'd definitely dual boot it with linux and windows, so its a laptop for all seasons.

Anyone got any ideas on which mac is best :S?

Macbook Pro's give me a boner. So yeah...

In all seriousness, if you want an Apple laptop and you need some performance I would probably go far a 15 inch MBP. 17 inch is too large if you're on the move (imo), and you probably have an extra monitor at home already so you don't really need the extra inches. Besides, it's bloody expensive. The normal Macbooks have a 13 inch screen which is a bit too small I think, especially when you're working with programs with a lot of windows, like Flash, and probably the iPhone SDK as well.

Talking about Macs, my nan bought a iMac desktop shit or something for 1500 pounds (not dollars) and she got it through the post and opened it up only to realise it had an american plug on it ¬_¬

This was like yesterday XD

I have a MacBook Air that I rarely use. Just for show because I'm rich.

I thought 13 inch was going to be too small (it hurt me D: ). But actually its quite good. The resolution is decent and I can work in Flash without a problem. You can even use the terminal to scale the resolution even smaler if you want. Its a great laptop, unfortunately i bought my Macbook like 2 weeks before they released the newer ones.

i think linux is good.....

cue the arguement

I wish there was a way to not show those on the userpage, but oh well.

We all know your secrets now.

When are they letting other people put medals in their games like you guys did?

Unknown, they're still working out lots of kinks to make it public-friendly.

perfect thats what she said joke.

just brilliant.

I have a level class with 4 frames in it.

When each frame is loaded, it adds a number of objects to an array. These objects are all on the stage with instance names.

So for example if im on the 2nd frame it will add all of the objects on the stage on frame 2 to the array.

The only problem is it doesnt. It works for the first frame but none of the others. Is there difficulty accessing instances of objects past the first frame of a movieclip in flash?

If I trace the array on level 1 all the objects display properly, eg [object sky_mc]. However on level 2 i will just get a load of commas and then any objects that were also in frame 1, eg " , , , [object sky_mc].

Meh im not really a coder and probably didnt do myself any favours by explainingmy problem so poorly.... any help? :)

i would love to help

I was out of town with no internet so if anyone PMed me ill get to it soon if not already. Anyway BoM already gave most of the info of the achievements. Its on its test run and i think having them test it live is exciting and a good way to gauge the level of interest and possible loopholes before opening the floodgates.. some info you just cant get by having a staging server.. so instead of bitching just see it as an opportunity to be a beta tester for the site. You can send your observations / bugs to psychgoldfish.

The privacy of the achievements would be a nice feature, im sure that its been considered and you will eventually be able to hide it if you arent a stat whore type.. or if you dont want people to know you have unlocked the penis pincher achievement.

why would we want to hide it?

c'mon luis, think these things through! the site is depending on you guys!

Oh man I was going to say that earlier but decided against it because everyone would think it was stupid if it was coming from me. Maybe not. Oh well.

just so you guys know..

im totally adding achievements to He's a Slidin when its possible to do so, just imagine, a achievement for watching this 200 times in a row, ILL BE PREFECT!

You're all tied up, your next move could tip the scales though!

Childish Joys
This weekend I get to run around Macys with a price scanning gun and choose stuff for my wedding registry.

I'm not entirely sure whether I'll have more fun choosing stuff for the wedding registry or shooting the barcode gun. I'm thinking the latter. There's going to be probably 200 towels on the registry from all the fun I'm having.

I still have these childish joys such as barcode scanning and pushing elevator buttons. What's on your childish joys list?

Pushing the stop button on the bus is darn fun :)
