In the following example,  I am using a similar light effect script as the one posted yesterday, In this example I blurred the generated drawing API lines.  To get my script to go from point A to B, I am interpolating between 0 and 1. ...

YouTube’s mixed easy movie access with community uploads to create a startling new service. The online problem is that you can only access YouTube when you are online. How can you access those movies when you are offline? Let’s solve that problem by building a downloader with Flex and AIR.
In this article we will build a cross platform application that searches for YouTube videos and then provides a mechanism to download those videos and view them locally. You will be able to take your favorite YouTube videos with you wherever you go.

In the last article I explained how to create an image surrounded by border. That article is a start for fixing the issue: “image doesn’t have border style”. Now I extended even more the new ImageBorder component to be able to center it horizontally and vertically and still be well displayed. Modifications were made in updateDisplayList method [...]

In Flex Builder 3 (i don't know if Flex Builder 2 has the same bug) you can rename a Class which gives you a dialog that allows to rename the class (with preview posibilities) after you say ok it renames all occurances of the class. Nice so far but there is a small bug making this functionality really annoying:

It does this on all open projects.

Solution: close all other projects before using the rename if you have multiple projects with the same classes!

Here Mike Downey presented a ton of new web possibilities using the Adobe AIR runtime - hence the keynote strapline: “The long arm of the web”. Sounds like a mix between a Tim O’Reilly soundbite and a totallitarian government mantra… Happily the content was less opressive and more inspired than the strapline suggests! A few interesting [...]
Whether you’re an enterprise developer working in a large shop or setting up a blog for yourself, you’ve almost certainly been tasked with keeping your development code in sync with some type of stable release. Whether a project is big or small, you still need to ensure that the core code you work with remains [...]
A nice article by Dan Zen, showing four examples about User Interface Components, Communication 1 - navigateToURL, SharedObject, FlashVars, ExternalInterface, Loader, URLRequest and FileReference, Communication 2 - URLLoader and URLVariables to get text or server script data (PHP, MySQL) and XML in Flash.

Bending objects is one of the classic features of any 3D package. Bartek thought it would be nice to be able to bend stuff in Papervision3D too. Read his post and download the source.
Applications may crash or result in a run-time exception if the APIs used by the caller and those expected by the callee are incompatible. Java, Flash and Actionscript deal with the issue in their own ways. In Flex, attempts to support cross-versioning began with version 2.0.1 though it didn’t work very well. Cross-versioning Support should be [...]

A great article at The Tech Labs, by Ben Pritchard from PixelFumes, that will step you through the classes used to achieve a card flipping effect using the new rotationY property that exists in Flash Player 10. Read full article, see the demos and download support files.
Getty Images is the largest stock imagery company. It provides the publishing world with a big rich stock of photos, music, video footages and other creative services. This week they released a Flash based mashup application called Moodstream to expose their photos and videos in a very creative way. It has a good reason to [...]
Just found this blog post today from Colin Moock on the new XML based file format (XFL) that will be available with Flash CS4. This is great news and since its XML based and not binary like FLA, I thinking this could make life easier for companies with big projects and lots of developers to [...]

It surprises me that one of the most commented upon and downloaded classes from my blog is a card flipping effect. With that in mind, I thought it might be an interesting exercise to recreate this effect targeting Flash Player 10. As of the writing of this article, Flash Player 10 Beta (Astro) and the corresponding API documentation have been released. This article will step you through the classes used to achieve a card flipping effect using the new rotationY property that exists in Flash Player 10.
