FORTUNE MAGAZINE LABELS SUNGEVITY “THE DELL OF SOLAR ENERGY”

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Sungevity Homepage
The website is set to transform the solar industry, with Fortune magazine labelling Sungevity “The Dell of Solar Energy”.

The Sungevity.com launch has caused a stir in the media, with feature articles in Fortune magazine, CNN money, Wired.com, TV News features, plus plenty of chatter on blogs all around the world.

Extro Interactive worked alongside Sydney-based Canned Ham to deliver a website that offers a new take on the residential solar industry. The site revolutionises the process of purchasing a home solar system by leveraging web 2.0 technology.

Sungevity is currently only available in California, but they are quickly expanding across the US. We hope they will be launching in Australia sometime soon!

Console Logging for Flash (i.e. Tracing in a browser)

Monday, May 26th, 2008

If you want to trace something in flash but you want to load the flash in a browser, you can rework your trace statements to display them with the Firebug extensions.

Instead of using trace() you can use the following:

var flash_variable = ‘testing 123′;
getURL(”javascript: console.log(’”+ flash_variable +”‘)”,”_self”);

These statements will appear in the Firebug console inside Firefox. For more options, you can view the full capabilities of the console: www.getfirebug.com/console.html

You could create a new function that automatically traces to both sources, but make sure it is not switched on by default, or it could cause problems and expose data to maliscious users. AP

We just made a quick update to the Actionscript 2 JSON class to fix ordering bug of object properties…it’s a small change, but it might save you pulling your hair out at 3am… plus we threw in a fix for crashing out on null properties at no extra charge!
