Just stumbled across http://www.reflektions.com/miniml/ , which has lots of free downloadable actionscript that focuses on things like physics, 3D, kinematics, particles, collisions, and a bunch more.

I hate you espn.com

Thanks for reminding everybody why some people see flash as annoying intrusion. STOP IT WITH THE AUTOPLAY VIDEO — I DONT WANT TO SEE IT, and stop making me click the stop button 6 times before i get response.

Sending XML to PHP

  • October 5th, 2006

wow, i can't believe I've never run into this before, I guess I never had to send xml TO a php script from flash before. Anyway, there are two ways to read the xml being sent to the php page. The first is $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA. This is a global variable created to hold content sent to the page that who's content type is not set to application/x-www.form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data. Using $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA can be a little flaky because it depends on version/php ini information.

Another way to access the raw php data being sent to the page is to read from the input stream directly by using php://input. You would use that any place where you would pass a file name, such as:

PLAIN TEXT
PHP:
  1. echo file_get_contents("php://input");

According to the php docs, using php://input uses less momory than $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA.

I was searching around for that open-source hosting site that Apple launched recently, http://www.macosforge.org/ (which is down at the moment) when I came across another similar site, macforge.net. There's TONS of projects there, in LOTS of software categories, at the moment they claim "40296 Projects Available". I love checking out new software for my mac, so if you do too head on over and start checkin.
