By Zevan | August 28, 2011

2018 UPDATE: grab the zip here http://actionsnippet.com/actionsnippet.zip
Seems I missed a good 15-20 requests over the years - so here it is ^^

Who would like a zip of the folder I used when making this site fla files and all? If you want one, post a comment and I’ll send it to you.

Actually have a little new content for the site coming, at least one new post.

If you don’t get yours within a day of posting… just let me know.

  3. var t:Number = 0;
  4. var a:Number = 100;
  5. var b:Number = 10;
  6. x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
  7. y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
  8.  
  9. graphics.lineStyle(0,0x000000);
  10. addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onRun);
  11. function onRun(evt:Event):void {
  12.     var p:Number = ((a + b)/b)*t
  13.     xp = (a + b) * Math.cos(t) - b * Math.cos(p);
  14.     yp = (a + b) * Math.sin(t) - b * Math.sin(p);
  15.     if (t == 0){
  16.       graphics.moveTo(xp, yp);
  17.     }else{
  18.       graphics.lineTo(xp, yp);
  19.     }
  20.     t += 0.05;
  21. }

Color Project

By Zevan | May 11, 2010

I've been working on a project for the led facade at medialab prado. The project has an online component that allows users to name colors, these names are then searched on twitter and displayed on the led facade. Right now our color database has about 530 colors about 20% of which are in spanish. We're lookiing to get more colors named particularly in spanish. If you feel up to it, you can enter and name colors, simply pick a color, enter your name and name the color... here for spanish
and here for english.

If you did it correctly you'll see your color show up in our list of colors here
