OK, so you're a Web designer. Perhaps it's all you do, or perhaps it just a small part of what you do, but wherever you happen to be on the Web design food chain, you can definitely benefit from setting up and using the Web server that is included with every installation of Mac OS X. And while many of you may already have the server running, there's a lot more that could conceivably be done to soup things up a bit.

Timing stuff in Flash isn't exactly the glitziest of tasks, but sometimes it just has to be done. In our last installment, we went over two relatively basic methods for creating timers, each with varying degrees of simplicity and/or accuracy. Today we're going for as much accuracy as we can, and we're going in two completely opposite directions. Intriguing? I thought so. I am, after all, the master of suspense, so let's get down to business, shall we?

In part one of this fantastically riveting two-part series, we learned all about the insane fun that goes along with IE conditionals. Now, in part 2 (which I know you have been waiting breathlessly for), we're going to—wait for it—actually write some of said conditionals all by ourselves! I know, I know—the air is thick with excitement. So, without further ado, let's get this party started.

'Round about Thanksgiving time last year (late November for those outside the U.S.), I wrote a piece on how to use non-standard ("bad") CSS to present different content to different browsers. Now, with IE 7 threatening to be unleashed on an unsuspecting public, it's high time to revisit the basic concept and see if we can't clean it up a bit. In part 1 (of 2), we'll be setting up an example and going through what IE conditionals are, which will ultimately make designing sites for IE a little less messy once IE 7 gets thrown into the mix.

I hope you're already having a blast playing with the Tween class after our last riveting installment, but there is still much to discuss. Today, we're going to go over methods, properties, and event handlers for the Tween Class, but since those sound so, well, "programmerey," let's just say we're going to learn how to monitor and control our Tweens as they go about their little Tween errands.
