RE: FLASH: OT: Taking Credit (was open sourcing)

[JGL]

This is good community bonding . . .


Why are you railing Gahlord for creating something and open sourcing it.

What's up man?


Comparing *any* of Virtual Roneat to barneys makes no sense! What is wrong

with you? Are you trying to make talented people like Gahlord not open

source their projects?


Horizontally scrolling content. Sorry Josh didn't invent that. It's been

around since Flash has.


Did I see Gahlord try to take credit for this? I think not! What I see is

the compasionate giving of one of his projects to the Flash community. Have

you ever done that? . . . not that I have ever seen.


Keep your unfounded criticisms to your self, please, and quit trying to ruin

people that are willing to give their work away . . . jeez!


BTW, even though I agree with Helen that airbiquity.com is a *nice site*, it

is very pedestrian.

Uhhhh? No it isn't. You're right in noting that the little text blurbs move

in

and replace the previous blurbs. Barneys.com is far more sexy than that.

There's

a whole lot of designs out there based on moving items along a horizontal

plane.

While it's flattering that you compare my piece to Joshua Davis' work, the

concept is far more widespread and has been for much longer than

barneys.com.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I would take full credit for the design of the

virtual

roneat.

The sound aspect is what I think people could use the most. When I was

building

it I had immense trouble finding clear documentation on how sound works in

flash. As far as design I wouldn't expect someone to keep the design aspects

so

much (but wouldn't care if they did).

> curious about clarification

This does bring up a useful thread though. As I don't consider the virtual

roneat a rip-off of barneys.com but you clearly do; in what way do you (or

other

readers) consider a piece to be derivative?
