Yugohasanotherone

It’s been a long-time since Yugo Nakamura put out some public work, here’s a new one for Uniqlo SOHO. It’s another one of his clock experiments which you can download as a screensaver. Unfortunately, seems like his website’s domain expired.

In my never-ending quest to (save my girlfriend, not) attain yugoism, I’ve tried creating an image gallery in flash that’s dynamic (i.e. layout, position, etc). I got myself acquainted with the movieClipLoader class and its various methods. The shortcoming I’ve discovered when loading external images is that there seems to be no possible way to acquire the height and width of an image until after it has completely loaded (using the onLoadInit method only). Bugger that. It seems that the only way to layout the thumbnails correctly (using their dimensions) on a page without having to wait for everything to load is supply image dimesions explicitly (either through XML or some other method).
