This was a quick mock-up done in Flash CS3 for a pitch for a new site for Harrogate Ladies college. The background images rotate thorugh a slideshow and will dynamically resize as you change the size of your browser window. In order to see this working you will need to view the swf in it’s own window… here’s the link
The code for the resizing the image on resize is pretty straight forward, just don’t forget to add smoothing to your source images.
resizeHandler(null);
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
function resizeHandler(e:Event):void {
// get largest dimension scaling
var w = stage.stageWidth / 1022;
var h = stage.stageHeight / 687;
var newWidth, newHeight;
if ( w > h ) {
newWidth = stage.stageWidth;
newHeight = 687 * w;
} else {
newHeight = stage.stageHeight;
newWidth = 1022 * h;
}
backgrounds.width = newWidth;
backgrounds.height = newHeight;
}

Or alternatively, you can use no conflict mode, and use $j throughout your script instead of $
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
$j(function(){

I had to write some cross-browser compatible HTML and CSS in order to seal the deal to work at Sense Internet as an Interface Developer. The page I built works in IE 5.5, 6, 7, 8, Firefox (Mac + PC), and Chrome (Mac + PC).

As well as HTML and CSS I’ll be working with the Sense Javascript framework which is object oriented and based upon Prototype. I’m also hoping to get started with some Actionscript 3.0 stuff as soon as possible.
I logged into Leeds Met results online service this morning to get my final marks for my degree. I got a First Class Honours. The title of my course was BSc(hons) Business Computing – Internet Systems. When people ask what I study I usually just reply “Web Development”. I’m posting my marks here so I have a record of them and they don’t get lost when my student card and log in ID runs out imminently. (more…)
Last week I handed in my signed contract at nti leeds to accept one of the sponsored positions within their co-working space for business start ups. It’s a fantasic opportunity which comes with 3 months free membership, lots of free training and a chance to grow within an exciting environment and community. The co-working space gets a mention in this month’s Wired magazine in a feature on the office of the future. Leeds is featured alongside London, New York, and Ibitha!
Most of my training budget will be spent on the Zend certified courses on offer. I’m planning on getting my model-view-controller skills up to sctratch. The Pro PHP book, which features a chapter on working with Zend, should land on my doorstep tomorrow morning so I’m hoping to be making some headway with that by the end of the week.
I needed an on-line tool that would allow Lloyd Spencer and myself to edit a large body of several hundred photographs down to 20 or so for a proposed exhibition of our “Leeds By Night” project. We also needed a looser edit that would potentially be used for a book. Some text would also be required for the book, and the site should facilitate the assosiation of certain photos with specific bodies of text.
All photographs that form the project were already on flickr, so it made sense that the site should pull the photo content from there, rather than replicating content in 2 places.
The editing process never really got going, it’s still on the back burner.
