Naming Conventions for Flash Designers

Normally, the team-members working on the project have complementary skills, they've to coordinate in highly efficient way to effectively make use of their work/effort. This can be achieved only if they'd properly/strictly follow the defined process.

This is a begining of defining the standard process that will gradually upgrade with their combined wisdom.

So, I'm defining a Naming Conventions that should be strictly followed by all team members to make their effort to be accepted.

Naming Convention for creating an ID:

  1. The first 2 letters of the Object's name should be the initial of creater's full-name in capital, for e.g., AK for Abhishek Kumar.
  2. The third letter place of the Object's name should consist the alloted project-id, for e.g., MercedesAMG's project-id is 1.
  3. The next letter place of the Object's name should be 'P' that means Project, and it acts as a separater (from further id's) in the Object's name.
  4. The next letter place of the Object's name should consist the alloted module-id, for e.g., module-id of MercedesAMG's minisite is 1 and it's form is 2.
  5. The next letter place of the Object's name should be 'M' that means Module, and it is a separater in the Object's name.

Below are some sample ID's that is created by following the above naming convention,

AK1P1M, AK1P2M, ..., AK27P15M, etc.

Similarly, Vijay Bisht's ID will be

VB1P1M, VB1P2M, ..., VB27P15M, etc.

And, Dulani Chandni's ID will be

DC1P1M, DC1P2M, ..., DC27P15M, etc.

Naming Convention for *.fla file:

  1. The first portion of the name should be the ID (as per the above naming convention).
  2. After that there should be an underscore '_'.
  3. Then there should be the relevent-name or description of the module, say, Leaderboard, Minisite, Skyscrapper, etc.

Below are some sample names for *.fla file using above mentioned naming convention,

AK27P15M_Form, AK1P2M_Leaderboard, AK5P2M_BudwiserMinisite, etc.

Naming Convention for Object-name in flash file:

  1. The first portion of the name should be the ID (as per the naming convention of ID).
  2. After that there should be an underscore '_'.
  3. Then there should be the relevent-name or description of the Object (that include MovieClip, Button, Graphics, or any custom made object). In absence of relevent-name or description put an incrementing-counter over their. Also to handle clashing relevent-name, precede it with incrementing-counter.

Below are some sample object-names in flash file using above mentioned naming convention,

AK27P15M_HeaderTwin, AK1P2M_CarMovingEffect, AK2P4M_015, AK5P2M_Twin3, AK4P12M_BlurEffect21, etc.

Unlock protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7

Recently I'd been called by Hindalco's Fabrication Plant division to unlock the protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7. They were in need to unlock those blocks since an year because of 1 million Rupees of loss per month. They want to re-program those blocks but it was locked by the man who'd done the setup. From the people working in that department, I came to know that they were trying to call that man (someone from Italy) right here but he's not coming. Actually, what he'd done was that he'd locked some of the blocks and deleted the source file. And Siemens didn't provide any feature to unlock. Department people also told me that even the people working in Siemens don't know how to do it. Being a software engineer I know that any thing can be reverse engineered. So I took up the challenge. How did I unlocked the blocks? The first thing I'd done was searched about this software at Google and read about what is this software all about. Aft

App: Calculate your job experience or age in years

Usually, all of those who works have to put years of experience on their resume or curriculum vitae. But 90% people put it wrong when they convert their experience in years only. Although they know the exact number of months and years but the conversion, they do is wrong. This happens because there are 12 months while the digit after decimal would be 0-9, i.e., 10 digits. Which means that we have to represent the number of months in terms of year. So here I have provided a small gadget to calculate it. Just put the date when you had started working in the From Date field and put current date in the To Date field. You can also calculate your age as well with this tool by putting your date of birth in the From Date field and put current date in the To Date field. As an alternative, you can use the hassle-free and simple to use  Date Differentiator  micro webapp. Bookmark it so you may easily access it later.
