ActionScript No Longer Sucks So Much
I may be wrong but I think associative arrays came along in MX 2004, I'm working in MX 2002.
Maybe I'm missing something, but would Actionscript's associative arrays do the same thing? I hash movieclip objects into an array to look up stuff, before I realized I could just stuff the associated object into the movieclip object itself.

Awesome! Glad I could be of some help :)
I've been chasing the phantom caret for a couple of hours... found this with keywords "Selection lose focus actionscript bug", when it became apparent that there was some lameness with the textfields not losing focus...
ActionScript No Longer Sucks So Much
If it was anything like JavaScript you could, but alas, it's not. At least I haven't found anywhere that says it is, just lots of people saying it's not. The closest is using a variable with the name of the key, like:
set("crapHash."+key, value)
value = eval("crapHash"+key);
But that's rather annoying...
If it's anything like JavaScript, can't you just use objects as hash tables?
myHash = new Object();
myHash['key'] = 'value';
value = myHash['key'];

Well this isn't a normal entry... think of it as more of a public service announcement!
And you wonder why I never comment on your journal!! It's not very accessible to normal people is it!!
Ahh, but you didn't stumble across the page after trying to fix the same problem as me, so you wouldn't! The instruction to comment is only for those people who find it through a search engine, probably in 2007 or something :)
I didn't find this useful.

Yay!

Happy New Year to you too!

I just untarred my backup. took 26 seconds... sucker!
Indeed yes... you must have done something in the last 5 days or so.
I'm sad that there are no post-Christmas updates :(
Happy Christmas, One And All
Bah... you soft sassenachs! You don't know how to celebrate properly!
Sorry Dabs
Yeah, I was impressed by the simple background and shadowy bits, so when HDW asked me to redo his site (for free), I thought I'd use the idea :p
I can't remember what and how much HTML you can use - the comments were a quick hack waiting for a proper rewrite that has still not come...
I think... it looks very nice, but somewhat similar to The Man in Blue (http://www.themaninblue.com/writing/). (Are we allowed HTML in your comments, btw?)
Quote Of The Year
What you neglected to mention is that in America, there is a type of Ben and Jerry's called Berry Berry!
And it's not like we were talking on msn, I couldn't see how you spelt it!
Christmas Time, Mistletoe and TCMI
It works in this firefox. Quicktime just has to be set to play midi. My new install said a plug in was missing before installing it all and making it work.
