Here's a quickie shell script to convert .wav files to .mp3's:

cd to the directory, save this as convert.sh, then do chmod a+x convert.sh, then run it with ./convert.sh

#!/bin/sh

# convert all .wav's to .mp3's and remove the .wav from the resulting filename

for f in *.wav ; do lame -V2 $f ; done;
for f in *.mp3 ; do AUFILE=`echo "$f" | sed 's/.wav//g'` ; mv "$f" "$AUFILE"; done

If you want to remove all the .wav files just do rm -rf *.wav ...but be careful :)

A quick snippet to do a setTimeout() in Actionscript 3:

import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;

var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 1); // delay 1 second, repeats once
myTimer.start();
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timerHandler);

private function timerHandler(e:TimerEvent):void
{
//_root.log(root.options[int(option)].caption);
//_root.playPlaylist();
}

So I'm working on the Absurdist Manifesto, which is to be the world's coolest phone tree to nowhere.

First, I started a new flex project in Eclipse configured with Adobe Flex Builder.

Then, I quickly pieced the front-end view of a keypad together in flex.
