Flash on the Beach 08

04/21/2008 11:24 am in AIR

Yipee! Ordered my Flash on the Beach 08 ticket this morning. The tickets went on sale this weekend (just gone) and already 150 tickets have been sold. The first 250 tickets can be purchased at the reduced Super Early Bird price of £199 for the 3-day conference pass. They are also holding two pre-conference workshops [...]

AIR Badge WordPress plugin

04/19/2008 02:26 pm by Peter Elst in AIR

If you want to distribute AIR applications the install badge is definitely the best way to go. The one problem I had with it is that its a pain to prepare and embed on your blog. To help remedy this I started working on this AIR Badge plugin last night, it allows you to simply use [...]

SQLite in Adobe AIR session video

04/18/2008 07:17 pm by Peter Elst in AIR

If you missed my SQLite talk at one of the onAIR tour events earlier this month, Mike Chambers recorded it in Brussels and its now available to watch online. Upcoming events where I’ll be covering Adobe AIR are Multi-Mania, Scotch on the Rocks and another In-the-Brain session on “The Evolution of the Flash Platform” with [...]

04/18/2008 03:31 am by Ben Forta's Blog in AIR

TorontoFLEX is scheduled for May 15th, 2008 at MaRS Centre in Toronto, Ontario. Registration is FREE and now open. I am planning on attending this event, and hope to see you there!

going to webdu! but which sessions to see … ?

04/16/2008 09:25 am by joshua mostafa >> /dev/blog & » Flash in AIR

C4, the company I work for, has just stumped up the cash for a ticket for me to go to WebDU. It’s organised into four tracks (Flash/Flex, RIA/AIR/JS, Coldfusion and general web stuff). Apart from the Coldfusion track, which I have no interest in, I’ll be checking out stuff from all of them … I think [...]

PyAMF = AMF For Python

04/15/2008 05:32 pm by Ben Forta's Blog in AIR

AMF (Flash Remoting) is generally the preferred way for Flash/Flex/AIR applications to communicate with back-end servers and services. ColdFusion developers are fortunate in that AMF has been built in to ColdFusion for years. Java developers have access to the open-source BlazeDS which, among other things, provides support for AMF. And the community and 3rd parties have implemented AMF for PHP, .NET, and more. And now Python users can share the benefits of AMF via PyAMF - AMF for Python.

Everything [Embed]

04/10/2008 06:03 pm by wezside in AIR

This article should provide you with all the ammo you need when using the Embed meta tag. It is a vital part of AS3 and should greatly enhance the structure of your projects. Hopefully this article will show the benefits of structuring your projects in this way.

Adobe TV Launched

04/09/2008 05:17 pm by Ben Forta's Blog in AIR

Adobe TV has launched. We'll be posting new content regularly (I actually recorded 3 videos yesterday which will be going live in a month or so).

Flash Player Security Confusion

04/09/2008 06:41 am by Brooks Andrus in AIR

Maybe I’m not the sharpest tool in the toolbox, but it seems like every “security” related document I’ve ever read about Flash Player has been deliberately obfuscated to prevent ‘normal’ humans from understanding it. For instance take a look at the example below (image links to the article). I had to read this sentence over several [...]

Introduction to SQLite in Adobe AIR

04/07/2008 09:16 pm by Peter Elst in AIR

I just got back from joining the European on AIR tour in Amsterdam and Brussels and it rocked big time! Two great events with hundreds of developers attending to learn all about the Adobe Integrated Runtime. For me it was an opportunity to deep dive in the SQLite database API and build a couple of [...]

PlotKit and Flash Media Interactive Server?

04/07/2008 01:26 pm by Kevin Hoyt in AIR

Many of my Adobe AIR demonstrations show the concept of “script briding” between JavaScript and Flash libraries (i.e. SWC files). Using this feature, JavaScript developers can leverage existing work done by Flash developers in areas that were previously not feasible in the browser. It’s important to recognize however, that the Flash Player itself [...]

shu air wrapper

04/07/2008 06:09 am by joshua mostafa >> /dev/blog & » Flash in AIR

A colleague of mine at C4 just pointed out the “Shu Player” to me. It’s third-party wrapper software that packages up AIR apps so they become standalone apps that can be installed without the AIR runtime, and provides some additional functionality that the AIR API itself does not. From a quick scan of their command list, [...]

Heading To Cleveland For Flex Camp

04/07/2008 03:02 am by Ben Forta's Blog in AIR

I am on the way to Cleveland for Flex Camp tomorrow (posting this on my cell phone from a rest stop on the Ohio Turnpike). I had originally planned to present an opening session and take part in a closing Q&A panel, but I'll have to miss the Q&A as I have to be in San Francisco next. I understand that attendance for Flex Camp Cleveland is up around 150, which is great, and I am looking forward to meeting everyone in the morning.

Taking Advantage of Closures in ECMAScript

04/04/2008 06:49 am by Brooks Andrus in AIR

I usually avoid nested functions (aka closures) like the plague. They just seem messy and there’s ample opportunity for memory waste. However, there are times when it makes perfect sense to use closures, such as when using them as event handlers for web service calls. Using closures makes understanding event flow, and therefore application logic, [...]

Spending two days teaching AIR and Flex 3 for Adobe Italy's Partner

04/03/2008 10:07 pm by Marco Casario | RIAvolutionize the web in AIR Adobe Integrated Runtime

These days I'm teaching my first Adobe AIR 1 training course at Adobe Italy's headquarter. This is a 2 days course offered by Adobe Italy to some Adobe's Partner. I'll repeat the same course on 16th and 17th April due to the high number of requests. It has been a big success ! I'm having great time with attendees that are all skilled developers (.NEt and PHP mainly) and very interesting in the Flex 3 SDK and AIR development. Tomorrow I'll show the RPC classes of Flex 3 and how to consume Web Services through an AIR application.

Wrapped My Session At RIA Architect Summit

04/03/2008 09:38 am by Ben Forta's Blog in AIR

I just finished my session at the RIA Architect Summit here in Bangalore, India. I presented an introduction to Flex, AIR, and Data Services (BlazeDS and LiveCycle DS) - all in about 1 hour. Fortunately, I speak quickly, and everyone here understands and speaks English, so I was able to get through the content without problems. Oh, and I did a PowerPoint-free session, that saved time, too. Lots and lots of questions, so many that we had to cut them short - we'll have a Meet The Team session later today and will be able to take more questions then. James Ward is on stage now demoing Flex connectivity and plumbing, picking up where I left off. Other speakers today will cover Flex best practices, AIR development, and more.

Getting Ready For RIA Architect Summit

04/03/2008 05:33 am by Ben Forta's Blog in AIR

I arrived in India early Wednesday morning (very early, just before 1:00am) and finally got to my hotel after 2:00am. And with the massive time zone difference and having just flown for close to 20 hours, I barely slept at all. And then we spent a full day with the local Adobe team, customers, and partners talking about Flex, AIR, ColdFusion, and more. It's now early Thursday morning here, and we just arrived at The Chancery Pavilion, the venue for today's RIA Architect Summit here in Bangalore. The staging is pretty cool, there is seating for about 500, and (as usual) James Ward and I are sitting on the side working on the content that we're due to present shortly. And we're running out of time, I had better get back to it ...

Adobe AIR Guide updated against AIR 1.0 on FlexGala user group site

04/02/2008 10:02 am by Marco Casario | RIAvolutionize the web in AIR Adobe Integrated Runtime

FlexGala, the italian Flex User Group, has just updated all the articles of the Adobe AIR Guide against the final release of Adobe AIR 1.0 recently released (thanks to Fabio for this). The Adobe AIR Guide is made up of 17 AIR lessons (in italian language) that introduce the developer to the use of AIR features and ActionScript APIs to create desktop applications.

En Route To India

04/01/2008 09:37 am by Ben Forta's Blog in AIR

Just landed at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport where I change planes and then on to Bangalore for all sorts of meetings and the Adobe RIA Architect Summit 2008.
