The inaugural Australia / New Zealand Code War is set to begin at WebDU Day 0 on June 11 2008. I’ve been invited by Mark Mandel and Toby Tremayne to join their team the “KILLER CODING NINJA MONKEYS OF DOOM!” Be afraid, be very afraid, as you dare to face the team from Melbourne as [...]
After spending one week on it, i got the new site, The Tech Labs, ready. This site will be showing on a regular basis new tutorials on Adobe Air, Flash and Flex. All the content is free and source files too. If you are a web designer or developer give your contribute and earn USD 100 [...]
Just a quick note that I have finally (after much, much procrastination) updated the TwitterCamp application to be compatible with Adobe AIR 1.0. While I have not added any features to the application, I have moved the source over to Google Code. The new project can be found at http://code.google.com/p/twittercamp-official/. You can dowload the new AIR [...]
Just got back from London for the first teach date of my Core ActionScript 3.0 course at Skills Matter and in a matter of days I’ll be heading out to Edinburgh along with Nico Lierman for Scotch on the Rocks. This is going to be an interesting conference for sure, for one thing I haven’t touched [...]
Vertabase Timer is a free utility to help you keep track of time spent on client projects. And the new version 1.5 is a Flex based AIR application (as described in this forum post).
At The Iona Group we have hundreds, probably thousands of videos that we have shot or somehow acquired from client asset libraries, etc. These videos are stored and logged in a pretty big legacy database (Don’t laugh, I think it’s Access). We also have some clients where stored their video assets in a big fat [...]
Here is a nice post by 9media.com regarding the text drag, where you can find the source code that enables you to do it. This feature is missed in the Flash Plugin, so for sure it will be a nice resource for you. Get the source
Mike Lively posted another great video tutorial and source, this time on Adobe Air. View tutorial and download source
EarthBrowser is an interactive 3D globe of the earth which provides all sorts of regional data, weather information, and much more. (A bit like Google Earth in some ways). And the latest release, version 3, is built as an AIR desktop application (as explained by creator Matt Giger).

This will be the first part of our first tutorial: How to build a contact manager in AIR using XML. For the first part of this tutorial we’ll be reading, parsing and searching an XML into an AIR application and going through the whole getting it to compile and exporting a release version.

The Adobe AIR Marketplace is an online exchange where developers can post their AIR applications. AIR applciations need to be digitally signed, and doing so requires a code signing certificate. Developers who submit an unsigned AIR application to the Marketplace are eligible to receive a complimentary Thawte code signing certificate ($300 value).
There’s a great interview with Mitch Grasso, CEO of SlideRocket, over at InsideRIA. Mitch mentions one of the things that differentiates SlideRocket is presentation analytics . This is actually one example of tectonic shift content creation software is undergoing. Content creation tools, desktop or otherwise, must leverage the cloud. What makes software owners successful is [...]
I spend a lot of time ‘trawling’ the web, often just getting swept up by the tide and coasting from information island to information island. Yep its a time sink, has a hugely negative impact on how much sleep I get and isn’t terribly efficient. The operant conditioning of link surfing keeps me going long [...]
I am on the way to Washington, D.C., for WebManiacs which starts tomorrow. I present an opening session, and then will have to duck out to catch a flight to Europe where I have meetings in Bucharest and Brussels. There still are some slots left for WebManiacs, so register now.
I’ve just added my second application to the Adobe AIR Marketplace. You can check it out and download it here. For those that may have missed it, you can learn more about SWFShot in this post. Previously, I added my LOLCat Viewer application to the exchange. You can learn more about that app in my [...]
Wow–nearly 600 people have downloaded Snackr in the last two days! Thanks to everyone who’s sent mail or posted comments; it’s great to know people like it. The most common requests so far seem to be: Allow multiple selection in the feed list, so you can delete a bunch of feeds at once. It seems like [...]
I'll be in Toronto on Thursday for Flex Camp, and in Washington, D.C., on Monday for the opening of WebManiacs. Registration is still open for both events.
In an AIR app, once you have opened an SQLConnection, is there any way of knowing what kind of connection this is? By which I mean, whether open() or openAsync() were used, and which of the SQLMode constants were used as the second argument to whichever argument was used? If not … why not?? I [...]
If you want to update the Adobe AIR runtime manually you have to disable the auto-update capability. Using the AIR SettingsManager you can disable it.
