Arrived in San Francisco around 1pm. Just before we landed I was looking over some conference logistics stuff I’d printed out, and the guy sitting beside me asked if I was going to FlashForward. Turns out he was too. So we shared a cab back to the Fairmont. Got checked in and took another cab [...]

Seeing that FlexBuilder Alpha 4 still didn't have refactoring I had to search once again for solution with FDT on Linux. And well, seems that a solution for my problem has been out there for months!

I managed to register it without problems, but when I was creating a class I had this:

package com {nullimport flash.display.Sprite;/**null * @author eclipse_testnull */nullpublic class Viewer extends Sprite {nullpublic function Viewer(){null}}null}null

Maxim Zaks posted the solution here.

you can check this by going to Menu: "Window/Preferences/General/Workspace" and than in the "New text file line delimiter" Panel change from "Default" to "Other: Unix"

Big Pheeew!!!! Having to swap between FDT and FlexBuilder in some projects were driving me nuts... this really looks like the final "Bye bye Windows!".
I’m presenting in a couple of hours here at 360Flex (4PM Pacific), and the cool thing about it is that you can see it even if you aren’t here today! Ted Patrick just announced this morning that Adobe is streaming all the presentations from the event live.  Head over to Ted’s blog for the details.

In a recent project I had to use runtime shared libraries. In ActionScript 3, the use of external libraries is made easy through the ApplicationDomain class and the getDefinition method. But one common limitation of the getDefinition method is that you have to know the name of the class definition you want to extract. A cool [...]
Yakov Fain, managing principal of Farata Systems, recently wrote a great article on Adobe LiveCycle ES (Enterprise Suite) where he discusses LCES, Flex, PDFs, Rights Management, creating processes, etc. Article: LiveCycle ES 8.2 is a solid platform for business process management It’s great to see an article spanning all of these products as a single solution!

In addition to the great list of general sessions and labs being offered at MAX this year, we’re also putting together several “Birds of a Feather” sessions.  These sessions are much less formal than the regular MAX sessions and are more of a “led discussion” than a staged presentation, so they become much more interactive [...]
RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR, released recently after five months of beta testing, is now another gift from Adobe to technical writers.

Well, that was the first line in some emails I decided to answer today. There used to be a time I answered everything and helped everyone that asked for help, but seems like these days are over.

Well, not really, I still reply, only 6 months later ;) But... if I don't reply, please accept my apologies, blame to however invented time! :)
Well, I just got back from a nice weekend reunion with some College friends and I am greeted with the news that ECMAScript 4 has been officially killed in favor of ECMAScript 3.1. Adobe has included many things in ActionScript 3 (like packages, namespaces, bindings, etc) that were all proposed for ECMAScript 4 and will [...]
