Agency life

I've been working at a NY agency as an AD long enough to know that I'll always be putting in 70 hour weeks. I love the projects, but this is no life. How are you other ad agency people doing workload-wise?

Lesbian Bars

I am in the unique position of needing some reference on a freelance job I'm taking on. Yes, it's a lesbian club set to open this year in Syracuse. If you know of any nice sites for bars, clubs, lesbian, gay or even straight if well done, post your links. Most of them are pretty ugly, so I need some help. Thanks in advance.

NINJA 06072009 photos

They let me bring my camera into the Jones Beach Theater last night. I didn't have the best seats, but I did what I could with these.

If you have them, post them! I'm sure some of you have better than these.

Actionscript Classpath Problem

I have never been successful setting Classpaths.
Here is my situation.

http://talesfromthehead.com/random/classpath.jpg

On the left is my Flash application window which shows where my Tweenlite classes are.
In the middle is my application level classpath Actionscript 3 settings.
On the right is my document class where I tried to import Tweenlite on line 7.

I'm not sure if it was necessary, but I put the same line at the top of NavButton.as since the buttons will trigger a tween.

My errors are
1172: Definition classes.gs could not be found. for line 7 in my document class
and
5001: The name of package 'gs' does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definition's name inside this file, or move the file. /Applications/Adobe Flash CS3/classes/gs/TweenLite.as for the Tweenlite.as code line where it says package...

That second error is in Tweenlite.as. I didn't alter any of the Tweenlite classes.

I've looked up a bunch of tutorials and forums that seem to contradict each other or are very vague about how to set the classpath in the preferences.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mac won't start

I have a 3 year old Mac Pro that won't boot up and continually gets the ? icon when starting. I booted from the installer and when I go to Disk Utility the main drive isn't even recognized.

If I install the OS all over again, will I be able to bring everything back with Time Machine or will I have to get my programs back with installers? Aside from that how screwed am I?

It was 32 years ago today

If you're old enough and were around NYC you might remember ABC TV showing a graphic that looked like this:

AS3: declaring variables in a for loop

Doesn't seem possible. I don't even know if I could do this in AS2.

for (var i:uint = 1; i<= 7; i++) {
private var ("MainBtn" + i + "_mc"):MainBtns;
}

Of course I get an error "1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before leftparen." I don't really know what that means but is there a way to dynamically declare variables? It would save a lot of typing and would be a good practice.

Thanks in advance.

Flash CS5 sneak peek

http://www.flashmagazine.com/new…

The good news is that they won't overhaul actionscript again.

There's more here in a video of a demo from Flash on the Beach. Don't blame me for the shakiness. I wasn't there holding that camcorder.

No, there's no word on a release date. I would figure next August but that just a guess that it would come out two years after CS4.

Flash Q client maintenance

If you have a client that wants to update images and corresponding captions in a Flash slide show. What are the best options? Setting up a form?, giving access to an .xml doc? A general approach as a response is probably enough for now. I'm only give a quote at this point.

Thanks in advance.
