Help fighting childporn. no-kids.org

Juli 2nd, 2009 • creative, flash, general, hot, idea

Today we launched a project I’m really proud of. A website that works against childporn.How does it work? You can find detailed info on no-kids.org.

Here is a summary:

You’re trusting an applet. This applet works like a limewire / frostwire client. It fakes files – pretending you’ve childporn on your pc, which you DON’T have! When a pedophile searches or tries to download such a file our website gets informed and visualises the query / download.

We just want to visualise the density of childporn usage, NOT where “these people” are located (tracking the exact position is not possible – and hopefully never will). The downloader/pedophile – downloads a fake file which PROVIDES HELP.

I found http://www.mukimuki.fr/flashblog/2009/05/28/camshift-smile-you-are-tracking/

The Camshift algorithm is propably the best tracking algorithm for the flash platform. It’s stable, fast and good coded. Love it!

Flashplayer error #1009 on stageResize

April 16th, 2009 • bugfix, flash

I spotted a strange fp behaviour. On some computers Flashplayer throws an error saying #1009 null object reference.

The Problem: the stage resize is called when the flash app isn’t completly loaded.

The Fix : check for null object:

“if(_videoPlayer != null)”

thanks to martin vor the tip

Duplicate Object in AS3

März 19th, 2009 • flash

Well this snippet does not copy the whole object, but you can create a new instance of that object.

function createNewInstance(obj : *) : *
{
	var ClassReference:Class;
	ClassReference = getDefinitionByName(
				getQualifiedClassName(obj)
				) as Class;
	return new ClassReference();
}
 
// demo
 
var tmp : MyType = new myType();
var tmp2 : MyType = createNewInstance(tmp);
