In ActionScript3 event driven programming plays a major part with mouse or key pressed and even a text field having events associated with them. Events indicate action e.g. mouse press corresponds to “mouse down” event and vice versa is “mouse up” event.
To check if mouse release (mouseUp -Event.MOUSE_UP)) has happened on the target object on [...]
Yes, you read correctly. Free. Multi-Mania 08 is a one day, five(!) track Flash + multimedia conference taking place in the beautiful small town Kortrijk, Belgium on Friday, May 23rd 2008. Koen De Weggheleire has once more managed to gather a hot lineup of more than 30 top-notch presenters - among them Aral Balkan, Peter Elst, Dave Schroeder, Ralph Hauwert, Rob Chiu and Hoss Gifford, just to name a few. I, too, have the big pleasure to speak there for the second year in a row and I'm really looking forward to it, especially after Koen told me that my
Google released version 1.0.2 of the Google App Engine SDK two days ago. If you're using Google App Engine, you should definitely upgrade.
You can find a list of fixed issues in the release notes, including the template cache issue that I was running into.
Also, it's not in the release notes but I just confirmed that [...]
If you download development tools you will probably have come across SHA1 or MD5 signatures for downloads in the past.
It's very easy to test the download to make sure that the checksum is valid. For MD5 signatures, you simply type:
md5 name_of_file
And for SHA1 signatures:
openssl sha1 name_of_file
However, both those methods require you to manually [...]
Since ActionScript3 is the core to Flash/Flex RIA it contains an expansive repertoire of display objects, graphical methods to create such applications. At the same time for design of such an application may need replication of same object several times. E.g. virtual pool table
With AS3, in order to duplicate the properties of a Display object [...]
I’ve just tested the last version of Eltima’s Flash Decompiler Trillix 3.1, and there are some cool features it worth to be mention. I never used before Trillix, but now on, i can say that will be my first option, and i will tell you why:
1 - The Trillix have a cool layout, similar to [...]
As excited as I have been about Adobe AIR, I’ve been a bit frustrated at the lack of real-world, useful applications that take advantage of some of the amazing features that AIR provides. Recently, I’ve started seeing some great progress! Here is a great example:
FedEx just released FedEx Desktop, an AIR application for tracking packages. [...]
Biskero, is a nice site using PV3D, that shows you several ways to graphically display data. It is one of the showcases, about data display. Hope it can helps you, on your future projects, when handling with graphic data.
With Away3d 2.0, some interesting effects are now possible with the combination of tiled textures, ownCanvas objects and blendModes. Desert Ferrari demonstrates that you don’t necessarily have to raytrace a scene in order to get a polished look, just use some texture mirroring trickery and a multiply blend mode!
The source for this demo also shows [...]

Just dropping a quick note to followers of Flexcover and the ongoing AS3 code coverage adventure. It’s been a super busy time at work for me, but I’ve found enough spare cycles to put together a working branch coverage feature. It’s pretty cool: instead of toting up the number of lines that were executed [...]
The informative, articulate and personable David Coletta will be speaking about Buzzword’s testing approach at the upcoming Boston Flex Users Group meeting on Tuesday, 5/13 at Adobe Newton’s offices. If you haven’t checked out David’s blog, The Joy Of Flex, well, you really should! He is a great developer and also a great [...]
I hate blog spammers. Normally, you can't really track down who is responsible for blog spam and there's very little you can do about it. You get angry and delete the comment and feel wholly inadequate.
However, today, I saw some spam on my blog from a company called First Rate based in New Zealand, [...]
In the last few years, I've been making a very conscious effort to attend and speak at a variety of conferences both within the Flash world and in the greater world of web development, web standards, and open source. This has meant that in the last year or so alone, I got to opportunity to [...]
Some-a people out there in our nation don't have that, and I believe RIA, like, such as in Flash and Silverlight everywhere, should help the US, or should help Adobe, and should help India, and should help Sun so that we're able to build up RIA.
