Towards the end of last year, Charles wondered how RIA technologies can enhance usability in E-commerce sites. His main ideas were rotatable and magnifiable images, and an easily browsable gallery. I have come across very few websites that use RIAs not just for the main pages but also the stores.
Coyote Store is one such website, [...]

Flex/Flash/Maya 3D UI Button Controls - Live Example - As I said before, Flex is a great tool for bridging developers and creative designers. Here is an example by Joya Moore. He didn’t give out too much details but the result is just amazing.

Tim Anderson has written an article for The Register entitled Consume .NET services without Silverlight describing how he built a Flex app that uses a .NET back-end using Web Services. Thanks to Joel Stobart for bringing this one to my attention.
Be sure to check out Serge Jespers (Adobe platform evangelist) review of his Silverlight training course.

Let’s get nerdy for a second. Just one second. As Wikipedia would have it:
In differential calculus, an inflection point, or point of inflection (or inflexion) is a point on a curve at which the curvature changes sign. The curve changes from being concave upwards (positive curvature) to concave downwards (negative curvature), or vice [...]

ruminations on technology
There's not a lot written about using text fields (or any other display object) in a programmatic skin. What there is often suggests you have to add the text field as a child of the skin's parent. But it's actually a lot simpler than that...
Long time ColdFusion/Flex/AIR/ etc. friend, Chong-Bing Liu (aka Bing) wrote an article comparing RIA trends (including Flex, Silverlight, JavaFX, and Curl) by using Google Trends. The original article is in Chinese, and he just just posted an English translation.
"Gumbo" is the codename for the next major version of the Flex SDK, and some details on Gumbo have been posted to the Adobe Open Source page (also see the Flex Team Blog).
There’s more information starting to filter out about Gumbo, the next iteration of the Flex SDK. A lot of Flex developers were excited after seeing Ely Greenfield’s presentation at MAX last year and it’s great to see things starting to take shape. There’s a lot of change under way and I’m sure the Flex and [...]
One framework that i started using more and more is the as3commons. This contains the most important collections from Java (ArrayList, HashMap, Set etc.) along with helper classes like Arrays and Collections to be used on ActionScript projects. Although it misses some functionalities for Sorted and Tree collections for example, it makes a very nice [...]
DataGrid with flexible row height - DataGrid is the most used component for displaying structured data. For more complex data structure inside a grid, it takes some customization to make the display look good. This example by Harry Vikatos will tell you how that could be done.
Flex 3 Component Explorer - Let’s call it [...]
There are situation when the object serialization between ActionScript and Java causes some problems in it’s default form and i’ll detail that with one simple example. Let’s say we have a movie application where users watch some movies online. At the building block for this application would stay a Movie object, a Data Transfer Object [...]
I want to follow with interest this cool contest created by Ryan inspired by the Peter's post: SWF Indexing in some of his Flash files
Working lately on some collaboration apps i got the need for a unified service running both messaging and presence functionalities. Prior to using LCDS for presence i was using Flash Media Server where you have the SharedObject for syncronizing data between multiple clients. But this is not a very comfortable situation as you have to [...]
In one project I needed to have a data grid cell present some hierarchical data and I thought I could just use a tree control as the item data renderer for that grid column.
This what I got:
As you can see if you open the trees, the data row is not adjusting [...]
The path to get the Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI) certification was a long process but now I'm done.
Now I'm an official Flex 3 Certified Instructor, so I can start to teach Adobe Flex Official Training courses:
