outdated tutorials

[mattcow]

don't you think it is about time to clean up your tutorials? there's a lot of totally outdated actionscript there. also it would be nice if the turorials would be more organized and searchable (though this might just be me being clumsy).

[Planet]

don't you think it would be helpful if you posted the links to the ones that are outdated

[mattcow]

hah, you want ME to do all the work!

[Planet]

That’s why we call it a community. Everyone pitches in to keep it going. If you see something that isn’t right, just post it here so that I or someone else can fix it.
Thanks for helping!

Sorry if this is a little off topic but I have a tutorial I wrote with pictures and every thing but I just have it as a word .doc file right now to post should i convert it to HTML and how to i make my tutorial have more than one page? Is it looked at by a moderator before posting?

[mattcow]

Hey planet. I don't seem to be able to submit a tutorial. I tried several times so chances are you have 3 of them now All I get is a blank page after submitting. No confirmation in my mailbox, nothing...

Please email me the info and I will check it out and let you know.

Thank you.

Ok Planet, I sent all the info to webmaster@flashkit.com (since you don't want to receive private emails). I hope you can figure out how to put this up (if you think my tutorial is of any use).

thanks, matt

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I recieve "private" emails. My email address is listed in my profile which is mhoughton @ jupitermedia . com. Both addresses come to me so it really doesnt matter which one you use but thank you. I will check it out and see what I can do to get it up there.

[Planet]

Also, I did just recieve your email. Thanks again!

[mattcow]

oh darn, i clicked on the 'send a message via email to Planet' link. :S

[mattcow]

Hey Planet. Thanks for putting up my tutorial. Just had a short look at it and there's a couple of things wrong with it:
1) the code will not print properly (half of it is missing), probably because the < character is misinterpreted as HTML.
2) the sample movie will not load
3) the zip i sent you should be downloadable

please tell me how i can be of help to fix these issues

mattcow, the edit feature for previously submitted resources is not working at the moment. It should be accessed via the resource "Comments " link listed on each resource. I have some developers working on this issue that was caused when we upgraded the boards to vBulletin 3 however, apparently its not a huge priority at the moment so in the meantime, I have to do it.
I will look at it over the weekend and try to get it fixed up for you.

Thanks for the submission and sorry for the delay!

[mattcow]

Planet, thanks for all the good work. I think someone should have a word with your developers though - or whoever's in charge of what's a prio and what's not. FlashKit is leaving me and probably some others here with their trousers down. I suggest you remove my tutorial if this can't be fixed. Thanks again, I know it's not your fault.
