This one always catches me out and I find myself looking up the same thing time and time again. So for future reference I thought I’d make a note.

When you install Joomla there’s an setting check that lists any problems with your set-up that may effect the running of Joomla! In my case (both on 1&1 AND on MediaTemple) the Recommended Settings have flagged Display Errors as “On” when it should be set to “Off” – The solution is pretty simple.

Open the htaccess.txt file installed with Joomla! add:

php_flag display_errors “0″

save it to your server and rename it .htaccess

Voilà!

This is a tip that I’m sure most people who’ve used Flash will appreciate.  Try drawing a few strokes on the stage – all a pixel thick. They may look fine and dandy in the Flash IDE but try exporting the swf and prepare to be shocked. There’s a fair chance that one, some or all of your lines look blurred and fuzzy. How annoying!

Well here’s a few things you can try to ensure that your strokes remain crisp and perfect, just the way you intended.

First, check the X and Y co-ordinates of your strokes and round them up or down to a round number.

If things don’t improve go into your stroke width setting and change the number from 1 to 0.9

If thing’s still don’t improve try reducing the width of your stroke incrementally from 0.9 to 0.8, 0.7 etc.

It worked for me:

I swear that this is a genuine screen grab of the offending lines – before and after.

Good luck!
