Center and resize window with AppleScript
January 9, 2009 – 20:34
I use a 15″ MacBook Pro that I carry between work and home. At work I have a 30″ Cinema Display which means I can actually have half of the Flash IDE showing at once. Mostly it’s plug and play but every once in a while some app just doesn’t realize that I’ve unplugged the [...]

Summary: In which Martin has concocted a hack to make importing packages in TextMate a wee bit easier. TextMate TextMate TextMate.

Tracing to Firebug in AS3
September 24, 2008 – 15:33
I realize that I’m late to the party with this, but so far all the examples I’ve seen have been a bit overkill for my needs, so I’m putting this out there in case someone else might have some use for it. Of course, 1trace(); is a Flash developers best friend. Hell, I sometimes feel [...]

Show / Hide Window

August 1, 2008 – 12:34
Summary: In which Martin has created an AppleScript to remedy Firefox’ poor support for OmniFocus‘ “Send to inbox” hotkey. This is a lengthy post with lots of dreary explanations, so you might want to jump to the finished script if you don’t care about how stuff works.

TextMate + QuickSilver = Drag & Drop ActionScript imports.
June 18, 2008 – 16:31
I couldn’t possibly code in anything but TextMate. Hell, I even blog from TextMate. And since I’m lazy by nature I wanted a better way to import classes from my class library. The TextMate ActionScript 3 Bundle Simon Gregory offers a nice auto complete functionality that lets you define a list of classes to choose [...]
