My Top 3 Support Applications I Can’t Live Without

1. TerraCopy
This tool is a life saver. Don’t you just love the awesome speed of when you are copying huge files over the network and to removable files (you should try that in Vista). Sometimes, when we are doing it over USB 1.1 it gets even worst. Have no fear TerraCopy is here. 

teracopycompact

A mini tool that attaches itself to your explorer, with Terracopy you can copy and paste files faster, you will be able to modify buffer speed and even pause a file transfer. 

2. Unlocker
Another great tool to have, the unlocker!…what does it do? Well, I’m sure you sometimes, you get an annoying message of file unable to move, relocate or delete, because a process is using it but unfortunately, you don’t know which process is that? Annoying isn’t it?

Well this tool does just that, identify which locked file and the tool frees it from the dying glutch of the process. FREEDOM!!!

3. CPUz

Use this cool tool. It tells you the system clock speed, processor details, motherboard details, bios version and etc. All in one exe file.

You can then use the details to google for updates. Nice :)

Most of all, these software are ALL FREE!

ActionScript 3.0 : Buttons and Drag & Drop

event_trigger In ActionScript 3.0, buttons and interactive movieclip stuff is scripted differently. To understand in depth about how ActionScript 3.0 works for interactivity see the diagram beside.

Diagram besides show, a pin with a tag attached to it. In Action Script 3.0, all events such as mouse clicks, mouse move, mouse over, keyboard inputs, even movieclip’s frame movement is controlled using event listeners. You can attached this event listeners to any movieClip, components, stage or sprites to add interactivity features to it. Just like how the pin works…just attach the pin to the object.

Each event listeners has a trigger function. Trigger function is a script which triggers because of the specific event for example, a mouse click. This means if you attached an event listener for mouse click on a button, the trigger function itself will be the script for the button. This is how you make button scripts in Action Script 3.0. Similar to our old on(Press) function.
