   Hello! Seems like someone has knocked out the little duckling.

   Do you have any information on when it will be revived or if it is beyond saving?

   Well looks like you´re still nr 3 and the site is still up. However, some ip-addresses has been banned because their bots made the server a bit overwhelmed. What kind of error do you receive?

   Take care!

   The site was down for a while during the day and you usually get it up quicker then this time so I was a bit worried

   Nice work overall!

   It’s drawing to a close. Has it been a success? I think the answer is yes.

• Crossdomain image loading hack

  So about that little crossdomain image loading hack.

  on the INIT event of your loader do the following:

  var lInfo:LoaderInfo = e.target as LoaderInfo;
var dO:DisplayObject;
try{
dO = lInfo.content as DisplayObject;
} catch(err:SecurityError){
var spt:Sprite = new Sprite();
spt.addChild(lInfo.loader);
dO = spt;
}

• Finding http-links in NSString

  Had some problem with long http links in a UIWebView so I created this simple function that finds links existing in a NSString and creates an a-tag with a “Read more” label. Suited my needs for the moment.

  - (NSString *)parseLinks:(NSString *)html { NSScanner *theScanner; NSString *text = nil; theScanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:html]; while ([theScanner isAtEnd] == NO) { // find start of tag [theScanner scanUpToString:@"http" intoString:NULL] ; // find end of tags [theScanner scanUpToString:@"<" intoString:&text] ; html = [html stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", text] withString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Read more", text]]; break; } return html; }

• NSUserDefaults

  Want to store light information such as user defaults, current highscore fast and easy? Just use NSUserDefault.

  Example: Adding the current highscore:
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:scoreValue forKey:@"score"];

  Example: Get the current highscore
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:@"score"]];

  Except primitives it works for NSData, NSString, NSNumber, NSDate, NSArray and NSDictionary
