Here is a Flex list component that animates the rows when an item is selected. There are also animations for the ‘new’ and ‘delete’ operations. It is one of the first Flex components that I wrote and I posted this example a few months ago, but it was before I joined the MXNA [...]
Back in March 2007 I was writing about Photoshop Express and they finally released it. So they have been developing this for a year. Which means they had enough time to perfectly screw up the @ sign when trying to register? People from the US will not notice this but if you try logging in with [...]

RegExr provides a simple interface to enter RegEx expressions, and visualize matches in real-time editable source text. It also provides a handy RegExp snippet sidebar with descriptions and usage examples to make it easier to learn Regular Expressions through trial and error.
Being awake and trawling the web at 3 AM sometimes means you get an early jump on tomorrow’s big announcements. Here’s a snapshot of the Photoshop Express uploader. Great workflow with a sophisticated and understated UI. I dig it, MUCHO. Looks like they will be using a tiered model with a free basic version and a [...]
Jing is absolutely my favorite piece of software made by TechSmith. It’s a quick and simple recipe for broadcasting images and video of your mac or pc that I believe has the potential to redefine how we think of screen capture / recording. It also has the opportunity to have a profound impact on how [...]
I’m pleased to be able to release a new open source tool to the Flex development community today, that comes out our work at Allurent. The tool is called ItDepends and is located on Google Code. It analyzes the dependencies between classes in a Flex application, using a link report generated by the [...]

Got a background music on your Flash website? It would be nice to add a tiny equalizer in the footer. Or maybe you're developing an AS3 application that features MP3 playback? An equalizer will surely be useful in there too...
When you are using MXML containers and declare the children as MXML tags inside the component, there is a possibility to not load all child components at instantiation, possibility known as “deferred instantiation”. That is, the instantiation is deferred by an amount of time depending on creationPolicy property of Container class. This is the property [...]

I got my own certificate for signing AIR applications a couple of weeks ago, so I thought I'd share my experience in order to help others more easily navigate the process.

Excellent presentation on schools and creativity by Sir Ken Robinson
These are the first glimpses of the new sumeco gallery. Theo Aartsma(design) and I (coding) are currently working hard on the new version of the sumeco gallery. This time we take it to the next level, and offcourse using 3D to get there. Let me show you some steps we have taken. First of all we [...]
My daily Adobe Updater experience: Launch Photoshop. Cringe as I see the freakin' Adobe Updater icon jumping in the dock like a crazed puppy dog. Switch over to it. See the completely unhelpful dialog above (Which file? Where should I place it? Why should I care? Leave me alone!). Force quit Adobe Updater.
360 Flex Europe : 7-9 April 2008 | Milan, Italy There is just 10 days to go until the 360 Flex Europe conference starts!! I am really excited This is the first time the conference is coming to Europe after several successful editions in the US. If you have not registered yet for the conference, you [...]
I was reading about Sam Ruby’s experience as an OS X switcher and he mentions the phrase uncanny valley which is an interesting theory on the emotive response of humans to technology (robotics actually) based on how similar the tech is to humanity. Now I’m guessing our connections to tech are highly subjective and I might [...]
My good friend and FlashBrighton veteran Jo Summers has been enthusing at me for some time about the Arduino boards. And I just knew that as soon as I started playing with one, I would get obsessed, so I’ve been putting it off for a while. I knew you could use Arduinos to interface with [...]
