The very talented and very funny, David H. Brooks – director at large, contacted me to redesign and build his new web presence. We launched a few days ago.

5005: Unknown Error optimizing byte code

hey hey — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:05:33 +0000

THE PROBLEM:

I encountered a super annoying error message in flash today:
5005: Unknown Error optimizing byte code

I received it when trying to publish a flash file that incorporates several FLV files.

Apparently, Adobe says this error can occur when publishing really large files (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405257), but my FLA is only 1.6 mb and the published SWF is only 345 k. I’m guessing it has to do with the FLVs that are being loaded in.

THE SOLUTION:

Thankfully, I found a concise and easy to use solution here (THANK YOU, Stefig Design! You’re the bestest.):

The Golden Ratio and Web Design

I love Nettuts. They’ve brought us another lovely article here:

I remember being fascinated by the concept of the golden ratio as a kid. Good design explained by math?!? What?!?! It suggests a greater organization to this wacky beautiful world we live in.
To me, that’s comforting.

New portfolio site!

Woohoo! That only took 2 years… (really 2 weeks once I sat down to do it.)

If you find any bugs, please just email me.
