I’d like to share a php code that you can use for bing translator api. Just add your bing api id into “AppID= ” part.

<?php

echo translate(’Hello World’, ‘en’, ‘fr’);

function translate($text, $from, $to) {

$data = file_get_contents(’http://api.bing.net/json.aspx?AppId=YoutApiIDHere&Sources=Translation&Version=2.2&Translation.SourceLanguage=’ . $from . ‘&Translation.TargetLanguage=’ . $to . ‘&Query=’ . urlencode($text));

$translated = json_decode($data);

if (sizeof($translated) > 0) {

if (isset($translated->SearchResponse->Translation->Results[0]->TranslatedTerm)) {

return $translated->SearchResponse->Translation->Results[0]->TranslatedTerm;

} else {

return false;

}

} else {

return false;

}

}

?>

Domain Locking is the simple way to protect your swf files at least from newbies. Here’s what i’ve found for domain locking. Just copy and paste this code into first frame;

urls_allowed = ["www.guidefordesign.com"];
sitelock(urls_allowed);
function sitelock(urls_allowed) {
lock = true;
domain_parts = _url.split(”://”);
real_domain = domain_parts[1].split(”/”);
domain.text = real_domain[0];
for (x in urls_allowed) {
if (urls_allowed[x] == real_domain[0]) {
lock = false;
}
}
if (lock) {
_root._alpha = 0;
}
}

for multiple domain lock just change the line above;

urls_allowed = ["www.guidefordesign.com","www.anotherdomain.com"];

Another usefull php function. It removes a folder with the content inside.

//function
function delTree($dir) {
    $files = glob( $dir . ‘*’, GLOB_MARK );
    foreach( $files as $file ){
        if( substr( $file, -1 ) == ‘/’ )
            delTree( $file );
        else
            unlink( $file );
    }
    rmdir( $dir );

}

//usage
delTree(’FolrderName’);

I’ve began to use this usefull function against sql injection and cleaning other bad characters before inserting data into database.

//function

function clean($str) {
  $str = @trim($str);
  if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
   $str = stripslashes($str);
  }
  return mysql_real_escape_string($str);
 }

// usage:
clean($_POST["data"]);

hope it helps.

With this example of javascript code, you may automatically return capital letters into small letters.

onblur =”this.value = this.value.toLowerCase()”

Just add this code into your textarea or textbox tag, that’s all.

Here is a good & working  AS2.0 preloader sample.

Insert the code above  into frame 1, add new dynamic text on scene and name its var as “showpercent”, that’s all..

onEnterFrame=function(){

            var total:Number=_root.getBytesTotal();

            var loaded:Number=_root.getBytesLoaded();

            if(loaded==total){

                        delete  onEnterFrame

                        play();

            }else{

                        var percent:Number=Math.floor((loaded/total)*100);

                       showpercent.text=percent

            }

}

stop();

Here’s a usefull javascript to disable enter key on html form submit. It directs the user to use mouse click.

<script type=”text/javascript”>

function stopRKey(evt) {
  var evt = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null);
  var node = (evt.target) ? evt.target : ((evt.srcElement) ? evt.srcElement : null);
  if ((evt.keyCode == 13) && (node.type==”text”))  {return false;}
}

document.onkeypress = stopRKey;

</script>
