Firefox resume .part download

Sometimes a download is halted, perhaps closing a laptop lid, and normal resume doesn't work. Here is a fix courtesy of Boz:

1. You have two files on the destination folder. One with the original name and one with an extra ".PART" extension. Move both of these files to some other folder (Move! not copy)

2. Start your download again from the beginning (you have access to the download link, don't you?)

3. Let it download a few bytes, just to have those two files created again, with the exact same name. Now PAUSE this download.

4. Go to the folder where you backed up those old files. Copy both of these files to your download folder and replace the new created files when asked.

5. Now go to Firefox's Downloads form and resume the download.

Guru

I've been working on a new Lv but most of my time has been taken up with work and stupid As2 script.
I was so close in getting dynamic collision working.
I might need a guru to bug.
Expect a new Lv before the end of the week.

Stuck

The back bone of BB is ActionScript 2. . . Because its the only script I know.
I'm a little stuck at the moment.
I'm having trouble with the Hero interacting with another object.
eg - pushing a box around.
This is where the project slows.

Play and Comment

Open for business!
Its Q & A time.

Q. What the hell is Black Bean?
A. All in good time.

Q. Is it some sort of game?
A. Yes, some sort.

As you can see this is a very early build. All playable builds will look very similar to this. I will only be releasing final builds in the form of screen shots.

Q. But WHY!?
A. Suspense.

Q. I had a play. . . and it was broken.
A. Awesome! Drop a line.

Enough said, time to play!
