Eclipse/FDT freezes while building workspace
September 29th, 2011 • 1 comment ActionScript, General
If you’re dealing with very big projects with lots of classes in Eclipse/FDT it might happen sometimes that Eclipse gets stuck while building the workspace. Even killing the Eclipse process and starting it up again won’t help, because with “Build Automatically” enabled it starts building right after launching and probably gets stuck again. This little solution will get you up and running again in a few seconds…
- shutdown Eclipse
- goto the workspace folder in your filesystem
- rename the project-folder which caused the problem
- startup Eclipse (now it won’t start building, because it doesn’t find the project)
- disable the automatic building process (untick Project > “Build Automatically”)
- close Eclipse
- undo renaming the project-folder
- startup Eclipse
- build project manually (select project, Project > Build Project)
- after that you can enable the automatic building again
Create Font SWFs easily in FDT

I created an ANT build file which lets you create font SWFs easily, it takes a class template as input, generates the actual class for the chosen font and compiles the corresponding swf. but enough talking … give it a try.

As there is no real backend, my old portfolio site is quite hard to update, so I decided to move the portfolio temporarily to this blog until i have the time to go for new flash site. You can find a small selection of projects here.
Test your color IQ
October 5th, 2008 • 1 comment General
I just tested my color IQ at xrite.com. The best result would be 0 and my score was 4. Considering that 1520 was the worst score in my gender and age range this is not too bad I guess.

What’s your color IQ?
