Keeping rotated content clipped

07/22/2008 05:32 pm by Flex RIA United in ActionScript

Every container in Flex by default clips its content, when that exceeds the boundaries of the container. Clipping appears to be a computational behaviour that kicks in once a display object exceeds the container boundaries either due to its position coordinates (x,y) or its size (width, height) . Missing something? Well yes; a display object might also [...]

MeeBone: How One Dude Learnt AS and FLex

07/14/2008 05:00 pm by Flex RIA United in ActionScript

Meebo has been a blessing to all the chatterboxes in the corporate world. Still, there might be some who miss chatting through a messenger client, unsatisfied by a large window of a web browser. MeeBone can be their simple solution. I only say that this AIR implementation of Meebo “can be” a solution because it is [...]

MonkeyPatching

Yep, "MonkeyPatching" is the hot new word of the day. All the cool bloggers are dropping it left and right. I'd never heard the term til a few weeks ago. Now it seems I can't go a day without reading it in at least a couple blog posts. But until this morning, I didn't really know [...]

Simple navigation with Away3D

07/13/2008 02:48 am by Knut Urdalen's Blog » Flash in ActionScript

I just built a simple navigation system in Away3D with TweenMax to check out how to move the camera around with tweens and interact with 3D objects in Away3D. The scene is quite simple with a few basic primitives. You can zoom in and out on predefined locations (the cubes) and you zoom out again [...]

Become PaperKing3D and win CS3 Master Collection

07/04/2008 02:29 pm by Seb Lee-Delisle in Actionscript

How do you encourage cool Papervision3D experiments in the community? You only give away 1000s of pounds worth of software, that’s how! Definitely worth a punt, I would think. Full story here on the Papervision3D blog.

Flash on free software: FlashDevelop and Flex SDK

07/01/2008 06:41 pm by Everyday Flash in Actionscript 3

I have been recently asked a couple of times about the source code that I publish and how to compile it. I decided to write a short note on that. For my experiments, I use a combination of FlashDevelop and the free Flex SDK from Adobe Open Source. It is much better suited to work with [...]

Expressions evaluation at (almost) native speed

07/01/2008 06:00 pm by sephiroth.it - flash & php in actionscript

Finally I found a bit of time this weekend to do some other tests with expressions evaluation.

The results are pretty interesting, even if obvious from some point of view. I took the ExpressionEvaluator I wrote as example for the first post about this topic, and then I edited a bit the code adding just in time AS Bytecode compilation.
Thanks to that, expressions evaluation is much more fast and always safe because it runs in its own ApplicationDomain.

You can download the sources here, that includes the edited code and a test file. The test file runs 1 milion of iterations and may hang your browser or at worst case your system. Reduce the value of the ITERATIONS constant if you are not sure about the power of you machine.

If you want to read a bit more details about that, click on the link below to continue reading.

MatrixGrid is a complex component I made that displays a bi-dimensional array and gives the possibility to change its values using combo boxes. These are the changes you can do: change one single item change one row at once change one column at once The MatrixGrid component receives for objects: array with the possible values in each combo box the [...]

06/25/2008 01:59 pm in ActionScript

Although Flex Builder and Eclipse do have nice debug utilities built in, today I needed a function/method in Actionscript to display into the current application some variables’ content. So I started to implement a var_dump alike function (var_dump from PHP language). So I started and I made the Debug class that will implement the static dump [...]

Designer vs. Developer: Declaring Stage Instances

06/21/2008 04:49 am by Flex and Flash Developer - Jesse Warden dot Kizz-ohm in ActionScript

Here I am in Flash CS3, coding AS3 on the timeline with a few Document classes here and there for sanity on an insane deadline. While waiting for my source control to download (someone apparently checked in the WHOLE internet), I figured I’d blog about an interesting observation I came across this week. [...]

Difference between MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER and MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER in AS3

06/19/2008 03:36 pm by zedia flash blog in ActionScript 3

This was a question that has been in my head for a long time: what is the difference between MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER and MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER. I have been using MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER for all my rollOvers up to now without really thinking about it, but I think it would be interesting to know the difference for something so basic. If you [...]
