Teamwork: Scalable Communication
One of the requirements for productivity recommended by GTD and 4HWW is separating and scheduling personal and business life. This can scale even apply to roles, especially in small companies. As if your company scales in predicatable ways, it may not be you doing wearing all the hats. One preemptive strategy is using multiple accounts. With email this is easy, for voice and IM, I like to use Skype with multiple logins, which is covered here.
Some potential roles are IA, PM, TechLead, QA, etc. At which point in time a fulltime resource can be found it's easy to hand them the user and password to take over.
Flash: Error #1068: Unable to open included file
include is a handy little utility for separating script and graphics when classes are overkill. This opens up to the possibility of source control versioning, allowing more than one team member to work on it, and using more dedicated script editors other than the Flash IDE. The syntax is easy,
-
-
include 'yourfile.as'.
-
Where yourfile.as (or .whatever) has whatever you had on the timeline pasted into it. Note that *doesn't* contain any class files, for that 'import' is used.
This evening, on a new pc I ran into the error 1068 which is cryptic.

Turns out the error was simple, on XP, the file extensions weren't turned on, so that renaming files e.g. yourfile.as, was actually "yourfile.as.txt" turning the file extensions back on is through Windows Explorer, Tools>Folder Options> uncheck "hide extensions for known file types"
