Redirecting domains to www with .htaccess file

alp tuğan — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:22:01 +0000

If you have Linux server on your web site, you can easily redirect your “domain.com” to “www.domain.com” with .htaccess file. Every Linux based servers have .htaccess file. However, because of the “.”, it’s a hidden file. So, you can’t view unless you set your ftp client’s “view” property to “show invisible files”. You can turn on “show invisible files” with most of the ftp clients such as FileZilla, Transmit and etc…Even if you enable “show invisble files”, can’t you see the file? So there is an easy way. Just create by yourself in one of the text edit software such as Textedit or Notpad.

1- Open a blank document file with Notepad or Text Edit.

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

**change domain.com and www.domain.com with your domain name.

3- Save the file as .htaccess without any extension.

4- Upload the file to your server with your ftp client

that’s all. Now check your browser and it’ll work. If you type onto your browser “http://domain.com”, it will be redirected to “http://www.domain.com”

Here is a great tool that you can convert Flash Timeline codes to the document classes. It works perfectly. The only thing you do is, just copy timeline code into the empty textarea below, then put a name for your document class. When you press “submit” button, a php script generates your document class code at once. Thanks to Zevan Rosser for this converter tool. By the way, he is a smart coder.

With keyword in Action Script 3.0

alp tuğan — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 17:47:52 +0000

I’ve been programming with as3 for two years and everyday I come across with a new stuff Today, I was checking a as class and encountered with “with” keyword. There is no magic about “with” keyword. But, it allows you to write cleaner codes. Here is a little example how it works;

with (graphics)
{
	clear();
	beginBitmapFill(_bitmapdata);
	moveTo(0, 0);
	lineTo(pWidth, 0);
        lineTo(pWidth, pHeight);
	lineTo(0, pHeight);
	lineTo(0, 0);
	endFill();
}
