sample look of the flash CS3 ide

once u have installed Flash IDE for CS3 or higher , you will be available with the environment for action script development .actions script files have ” .as ” extention , which will be compiled into BYTECODE format . this bytecode will be embedded in SWF files ,and is read by the flash player when executed .java and C++ developers can easily migrate into this once the basics are done , coz its an object oriented program as well.. .you will have objects and its corresponding properties and members which will be manipulated for extracting the desired visual effects and many more.
and those who love regular expression , as3 have advanced support for regular expression, which can be extensively used for string search , which does a lot of slave work for me personally .
more importantly , as3 has a lot of new classes which allows you to control objects extensively at low level.the architecture of the as3 is some thing to be admired.best thing i liked in this is the way it handles the events , for example there an event called “ENTER.FRAME” along with which u can specify some function that will be executed each time on entering a new frame.. so inorder to move your “car” in the flash game , just pass a function which will increment the cordintes of the car accordingly .here you can manage the speed and direction of the car with appropriate geometrical equations. well.. i would say.. geometery is a must knowledge for any flash developer .. and physics knowledge can adore your game without any doubt..like with some physics laws you can emulate gravity as well as bouyancy in your game..that will increment the user experience by a lot.
so what are u waiting for get your flash ide, your tutorial for action script 3 and start your flash game today

this is usefull in case you want to have a link which does not load any new document , but does something else like adding certain value and displaying in the same page , in other words you can perform any function which returns a null value.

And as a matter of good practice its always better to script as “javascript:void(); ” instead of “javascript:; “

Torrent protocol allows you to download a variety of files (from text files to HD print of latest movies) which are in various sizes and extensions. So you wish to download a HD print of a latest movie this is the right place to be in. All you have to do is install any torrent client software in your system; this software will act as the main interface through which you control all the download features. Once you have installed the client, next thing that you have to do is to search for the torrent file (what is a torrent file is explained below) of the file which you are interested in downloading. a variety of torrent search engines are available for this one such is torrentz.com, which I personally prefer, or else you can simply search it in google.com either way will work. Double clicking on the downloaded torrent file will automatically take you the default client software that you have installed. You can set all your desired properties in this software and control the state of downloads.

A torrent file is a type of file with .torrent extension, which has all the information of the file it describes about, i.e. the file which we want to download. This file is of just few KB s .information about the file is nothing but description regarding the size, location address and stuff of that sort.

Now we will see how torrent works does. Consider you want to download a file with 5 parts A,B,C,D,E i.e. A+B+C+D+E makes the entire file that you want to download and you know that your friend “seed” has it all . At the same time four other friends of you namely “peer1”, “peer2”, “peer3” and “peer4” want to download this same file as well. So all you five guys try to download it from the seed , consider after sometime you have downloaded the part A of the file and peer1 , peer2,peer3,and peer4 had downloaded part B,C,D,E respectively . (Remember in torrents you will never download files sequentially from one end to another but random parts of the file will be downloaded one by one, and the file will be in its usable format only when you have downloaded 100% of it.)Until now all of you four guys were downloading from just the seed as he was the only person with the file, but now the condition is different, all of you have some part of the file apart from seed. hence now onwards you will download from all of those guys who has the part of the file that you doesn’t have , this will be same with everyone who is downloading i.e. people will even download from you as you have some part of the file. This continues until you have downloaded all the parts of the file, once it’s completed you will act as another seed.

So I guess by now, you have understood the way torrent protocol works. The torrent search engines like pirate bay and torrentz just have the torrent files (.torrent) rather than storing the actual file of interest. In a way they just give us the address of the person who has the file or part of the file.

Following steps can be tagged on to start torrent download for a beginner

Okay now let’s get into the business of briefing “DEXTER”… Dexter Morgan – that’s his name, though born to a criminal lady, who used to spy for “harry”- the police officer, Dexter was brought up by “harry”, after the death of his biological mother. It was harry who discovered that Dexter is hollow inside, to be precise, he doesn’t have a soul, the thing which makes us human… so what is Dexter , if he has no soul. . Yes he is a monster –“a self admitted monster” .for harry, with his experience with criminals, it didn’t take much to realize this naked truth. From then harry had tried to drive Dexter Morgan into a life which is been led by a set of code… the code is very simple “kill only the bad and never leave a trace “. This code made Dexter Morgan a superhero from a monster, at nights in Miami Dexter roams around tracing the badness in society and cleaning up Miami city out of all sordid people.
Dexter Morgan now officially is assigned to Miami metro police authority as a blood spatter specialist; he does all the hodgepodge work, which had to be done with blood in a crime scene. but this is just a mask of him for the society he lives in. though harry had died long back, Dexter still lives with his code that I had mentioned earlier .interesting part of all is… his narration to the viewers, he does this often in the show so as to make the viewer aware, what is really going inside him. In each season, though there exists a different theme, in a single season it mostly revolves around one same palatable theme. First season is about “ICE TRUCK KILLER “who later turned out to be a more interesting character. Am not revealing all the suspense here, those are the stuff which makes this show a “heart flutter”. As “the code” also suggests not leaving any trace, Dexter usually dumps the dead body deep in the ocean with the help of his private sail. The second season is about FBI agent “frank Lundy “ , who encumbers Dexter by salvaging the swathed dead bodies , I found this season as a lot more enlivening than the first . It’s the third season which reports us about “PRADO”- the Mexican who comes to know about Dexter secret and finally the current season…ie the 4th one, which for me the most incredible and palpitating than all other, which presents us the “Oscar” winning actor as the “trinity” .out of all, the 4 the season is scintillating to the core… some of the instances in it are simply beyond words.. you have to watch it …
Golden globe award winner Michel c Hall lives in as DEXTER and for me he makes the character perfect , though it takes the most out of him as an actor .this show had also won the Emmy award in 2007 , each episode is around 50 minutes and each season consists of around 13 episodes .friends , I swear .. It is really worth watching. You guys can download the show through torrents , one such site which helps is torrentz .visit home page of dexter .

Paithalmala (Pi-thal-ma-la) is an enchanting hill station in North Kerala (India) in the Western Ghats near Kerala-Karnataka border. Standing as tall as about 4,500 feet (1372metres) above sea level, the summit is located about 65 kms north-east of Kannur (Canannore) city and 35 kms east of Thaliparamba. North of Paithalmala is the Kudaku forest. These huge mountains lay spread over 500 acres of land enriched with dense forest.

I don’t really remember the date, but for sure it was a Sunday. I started my trip to paithalmala mala with my parents, brother and my cousin. We didn’t have any idea about the place; all we wanted was some fun. On our way to paithalmala mala, many people had warned us not to ,as it wasn’t the right time to be there… but then we thought we will go as far as we can in the car, and was determined not to be on our legs. After passing  the last town , or rather it’s better to say  a small junction namely “pottan-plavu” ,We couldn’t find any shops or such things.. Few bikers passed us after, when enquired they told u may make it for another 15 minutes in car, beyond that no vehicles can proceed, and to reach the summit, you will have to walk for another 2 km. Though we were bit anxious , thought will go forward… soon we saw the place where we will have to park our car. It wasn’t that easy to walk further as my parents too came along, and more over the road wasn’t good enough for walking…finally we  had decided , that we three (my brother , cousin and I) will try out a little bit and asked parents to be near the vehicle until we get back..

We surmised that it will take us about half an hour to be on the summit, but I was being very scrupulous about the forest we had to cross. We already had heard about the elephant attacks on our way to paithalmala mala, and the fact that, to reach the summit its essential to cross the forest on foot ,made us all a bit shuddery. But something in us drove us forward irrespective of the debilitating thought. The road was very narrow, only one person can walk through it at a time .it was around 4 pm but the atmosphere inside the forest seemed to be around 6 pm. As we entered the forest we could see some people, returning back from the summit, when inquired they warned us not to go forward without a lighter or salt. Soon we realized something else bothered the people who climbed the paithalmala mala the most ,and  it’s the “leeches” for which we had to look forward than the “fictitious” elephant attacks …  when checked , I saw a leech (alias sucker) on my foot when I tried  to get rid of it  , one of them gingerly advised not to do that with your hand  .Though he didn’t mention the reason it was pretty obvious from his eyes it wasn’t good for me..

I was never aware of the fact that leaches can be exonerated with salt or fire , so you should  either have a lighter or salt with you as a first aid against the leeches.  We were informed that after 4 no one usually stays here, in fact it’s a statute, we surmised it would be because of the elephant attacks. As we moved up the temperature started climbing down, we never knew that we were going to experience something that we had never experienced before. As I told you earlier we guys weren’t very much prepared for a real time trekking,  we didn’t even have water bottles. it was round 4 30 pm, we were totally unaware about our present location and was looking forward for the summit, the worst part of all is that it wasn’t just a straight road, but a hard core steep mountain path , that in turn slowed us by a great deal .in between we could see leaches getting stuck on our feet, but we were very scrupulous about the way those were exonerated. Thought it seemed very scary, ironically we were enjoying the beautiful scenery of valley besides, and the climate was adorning the journey…  in fact at that moment all 3 of us were in some other world, which was more coalesced to the nature. We continued this until we saw some gloss far ahead, which made us overwhelming. we knew we almost made it by then the time was around 5 pm; remember it was pretty dark inside the forest. All 3 ran towards the bright end.

Once reached there, we could see the summit from distance the scenery was mind-blowing… I couldn’t stop praising the awesomeness in the natural beauty of paithalmala, we all assented that all those pain we took for climbing the forest was really worth… such was the atmosphere and scenic view , the small green grass coating all over the summit looked as if it were a huge tennis court and it really adorned the beauty .in the Far distance ,could see some people returning from the so called “suicide point”, where you have got a watch tower as well. But the narrow path which leads there was ruined out of erosion, and was very hard to walk through. Later when we crossed the people that I mentioned earlier we came  to know that two out of the four were forest guards , they advised us to go back , as it would very risky to cross the forest now .. But we knew it would be farcical to turn back without being at that point… so we mused for a while and decided to go forward, by then leaches were all around our feet and welts were appearing. We weren’t much bothered about it as we truly were in some other world…the scenic view reminded me “the heaven” scene from the movie “gladiator “that was truly scintillating. I think this place should be made as one of the archetype for Kerala tourism. I am not being dissident, am sure you will have the same feeling when you be there… I reproached myself for not visiting this place earlier and also for my stubborn attitude of rejecting a plan once. 

Finally we reached the watch tower, in there you have two rooms with a balcony, it was but all abandoned years ago, guess British people built it, am not sure about it though. all we could do on the balcony was to get dissolved in the beauty of mother nature , we took a lot of snaps over it which I have uploaded in my orkut  albums.. We couldn’t stay there for long, since we were scrupulous about the warnings given by guards, so after being there for around 15 minutes we returned.

On our way back we “ran” down the hill, it was almost dark inside the forest, we could make out the way though.   Towards the end it started raining heavily that really added the awesomeness of the trip, ending with a rain was like having our redemption. Our parents were bit worried but when we explained what we had experienced they were really excited.

And there ends my scintillating trip to paithalmala summit. Though it was spasmodic, the memories and the experience will live forever. ..

I am pretty sure , you would surely try to peep into the issue once you hear anything near to the above exclamation.. well.. this situation in which aspects of aging  are manifested at an early age is known as  ”PROGERIA” – a genetic condition very rarely found in children .. when i say rare , the word “rare” is emphasized a lot.. more precisely one per eight million..

today in mess… u might wonder why am getting all these ideas from mess.. heh.. well then i would agree , my mess is one hell of a mess .. lol…anyways  today during coffee break we were discussing about this rare genetic condition . It all started because some one among had read an article in THE WEEK magazine . Even i had a chance to scan through the article .. i couldn complete it though.. but then this made me google the word  and i found it lot more interesting than i thought.  In that particular article they had featured a family from INDIA , in which 5 among the 7 children were with the condition. there were pictures of them , which would make any mind to ponder . well i was then thanking my fortune of not having the condition…

The symptoms were quite atrocious  .. am not sure whether it would be the right word to describe it. one of the child died recently , her age then was around 20 but then the physician registered it as a natural death and stated she had a body situation of a 90 year old..

To make things sweeten up , BIG-B (amithab bachan – a leading figure in indian cinema ) is producing a film named “PAA” which features this genetic condition. He himself is taking the leading role , as a child with progeria .. interestingly , abhishek bachan (son of amithab bachan) is being casted as amithab’s father..

Ok.. that was some filmy news there.. following is an abstract from wikipedia:

Progeria (also known as “Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome” and “Hutchinson–Gilford syndrome”) is an extremely rare, severe, genetic condition wherein symptoms resembling aspects of aging  are manifested at an early age. The disease has a very low incidence and occurs in one per eight million live births. Those born with progeria typically live about thirteen years, although many have been known to live into their late teens and early twenties and rare individuals may even reach their forties. It is a genetic condition that occurs as a new mutation and is not usually inherited, although there is a uniquely inheritable form. This is in contrast to another rare but similar premature aging syndrome, dyskeratosis congenita (DKC), which is inheritable and will often be expressed multiple times in a family line.

Scientists are particularly interested in progeria because it might reveal clues about the normal process of aging. Progeria was first described in 1886 by Jonathan Hutchinson and also described independently in 1897 by Hastings Gilford.The condition was later namedHutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome (HGPS).

Today, in mess , we friends were sharing our past experiences with accidents and.. you know… those sort of things.. all of a sudden a good friend of mine started narrating his experience .. rather its better to say his mother’s experience..

In her child hood , she had experienced a strange snake bite incident from a cobra.. well.. i said it ,” a damn poisonous cobra”.. which was then a normal incident  in kerala. The curious thing what i noticed comes next, her father took her to a vaidyan ( traditional ayurvedic doctors) and its a belief among vaidyans that in a day once they put off their nilavilakku ( bell metal lamp) , they will loose all their powers and it will be meaningless to treat until they lit it back in the next morning. On that evening the vaidyan , to whom she was taken had a hunch that some one is going to come for help.. and it seems  vaidyans have the power to predict these sort of things.. anyway in our case it turned out to be true.. and the vaidyan  waited for a while before  putting off the lamp. Now comes the role of snake stone , our vaidyan held a stone near to the wound and  after a while the stone turned blue in color and fell off from the wound … strange  heh… !!… anyways this is how the story goes..

Interesting part from the narration is the concept of “snake stone“..well i couldn’t believe some thing of that sort exists  or rather existed .. but then my bio-tech atheist friend told me , there is some thing true about it.. this made me to google the stuff.. you know what , interestingly ” snake stones ” exists.. but am not sure if they will turn out  blue after absorbing venom..

This is an abstract from wikipedia:

Snake-stones also known as the viper’s stone, black stone, the black stone, der schwarze Stein, la pierre noire, and la piedrita negra or serpent-stone are animal bones, which are widely used and promoted as a treatment for snake bite in Africa, South America and Asia. No scientific study is known which shows this remedy to be effective

Persian/Iranian writer Kazwini describes the snake stone as being the size of a small nut. An injury inflicted by a venomous creature is to be immersed in warm water or sour milk, the snake stone is then dropped into the liquid to supposedly draw out the poison
