It’s all about my new experience being a Big Brother through Big Brothers Big Sisters

First download threadless.zip

Edit data.csv as needed, open template.indd and choose Window>Data Merge from the menu. (Adobe Docs)

Click the little “Merge Documents” icon in this panel. It spits out an .indd with a page for each set of data.

Obviously for testing I didn’t set up nice fonts, etc. but you get the point. Read thru the Adobe Docs for the extra details.

Thanks to my lovely wife Kassie for pointing me in the right direction.

Enter an item’s cost, click the discount button (common percentages plus enter your own custom). Click ‘Add to list’ to add it to your running shopping total.

You can save this to your iPhone’s home screen to use it without Safari chrome. I’ve also implemented HTML5 localStorage to allow saving your running total between launches/restarts.

Have fun

To use, you first call StageAlignTool.init() and pass in the stage, and optionally a minimum width and a minimum height (defaults to 1024×768).
Next, you call StageAlignTool.registerLocation() and pass in the displayObject you wish to register, which position you wish it to lock to (StageAlignTool .TL means Top Left, StageAlignTool.MC means Middle Center), and optionally if you want it to stay relative to where it is now (true) or snap to the edge of the stage (false).
The class automatically sets your stage scale mode to NO_SCALE and the stage align to TOP_LEFT. It also expects the display objects you pass it to have their registration points in the top left corner.

Usage:


//StageAlignTool.init(Stage reference[, min width = 1024, min height = 768]);
StageAlignTool.init(stage, 1024, 768);

StageAlignTool.registerLocation(bg, StageAlignTool.MC);


Give it a try and tell me what you think.

It allows for varying pixel sizes and caching of rendered pixels so you don’t have to redraw them every time.

mosaic

Usage is as follows:

var myMoz:Mosaic = new Mosaic(yourDisplayObj:DisplayObject, pixelSize:uint, useCache:Boolean);
addChild(myMoz);

or

var myMoz:Mosaic = new Mosaic(yourDisplayObj);
myMoz.pixelSize = 10;
myMoz.render();

Give it a try and let me know what you think.
