If you hit the Flash or Flex client on The GAE SWF Project right now, you will be greeted with a page long traceback. I've just opened issue 273 on the Google App Engine Issue Tracker to track this and added this comment on the forums. The problem is that the error never occurs locally [...]
Have you checked the Singularity Web Conference speaker line-up recently? We've been busy!
How cool, I just heard from Brajeshwar on Twitter that The GAE SWF Project is currently the featured application on the Google App Engine Application Gallery. I released the proof of concept Flex 3 client late last night after the initial Flash 9 client release last week and I'm look forward to writing more about it [...]
I just updated The GAE SWF Project to add the proof-of-concept Google App Engine Flex 3 client. The source code download now includes the source code for the Flex project. The Flex client works exactly like the Flash 9 client and shares an almost identical codebase. 99% of the framework is the same. I'm going [...]
Today I'm releasing The GAE SWF Project, a resource of Flash and Flex-related knowledge specifically aimed at getting you up and running quickly with Google App Engine. If you want to skip all the details and start playing with it, skip to the Getting Started section. Everyone else, read on! When Google announced Google App Engine last [...]
Here are the new Flash and Flex jobs from the OSFlash job board for this week: Web Developer, The Magazine Network - Conde Nast Publications, Inc., New York, NY Flash Developer, CondéNet Creative Service - Condé Nast Publications, New York, NY
I've only recently discovered KitchenSyncLib, an excellent open source ActionScript 3 library for sequencing all manner of things in Flash and Flex applications (animations, function calls, etc.) It's an absolute joy to work with but I did hit one tiny snag: When you create a Sequence instance (or any subclass of AbstractSynchronizedActionGroup), populate it with some [...]
Hello again, flash 3D fans. Today you will be looking at REAL commercial grade flash 3D solutions in action:   The one on the left is recentry released Alternativa3D milestone tech demo. The one on the right is not so recently released Electric Oyster engine demo, but neverless I enjoy it too much to not include it in this [...]
Allegedly leaked by a Microsoft Employee, this Springsteen-inspired Music Video is about the awareness of Windows Vista. It looks polished though cheesy. It is some sort of a Windows Vista SP1 promotional music video.

Sincever I made this picture in Dec 2007, I knew I am going to use it again Guys at revolver3d.com apparently have released their “commercial grade” FreeSpin flash 3D engine yesterday and, to celebrate the release they posted an announcement on Papervision mailing list. Needless to say that their announcement received heavy backfire immediately. I could [...]
Seems like yesterday was busy day for flash 3D world. Away3D has just released v2, that includes all the stuff they were carefully hiding from us since 2007 fall. Release comes with kick-ass alien planet demo:   Well, Away3D has really gone far away from PV3D now. As Rob wrote before, they “no longer measure success with [...]
I wanted to mention that little badge up on the top right of the blog. The one that says, “get instant updates whenever I post.” This is the brainchild of Chuck Freedman, and you can find out more about it and get a badge for your own blog at http://www.relaymonkey.com/. But, if you just want to [...]
Two months after unofficial port, Mathieu Badimon finally took his time to make official release today, along with typography tools. This is certainly one of most compact engines (and so is very easy to start working with), with some unique features, such as 3D vector drawing and text support. Now, rewritten in AS3, it is probably fast enough to handle very complex [...]
I ran into a sneaky little bug when working locally with the Google App Engine Development Web Server and using the Mail API: sending email begins to fail if you change the source code of the class or module that contains the Mail API calls. The actual error you get is: SystemErrorParent module 'email' not [...]
The Google App Engine Mail API lets you easily send email from your applications. However, I found it difficult to test it locally when using the Development Web Server. The documentation states that you can either use an existing SMTP provider or sendmail with the local server but the former solution didn't work for me with [...]

As you may have heard, the next version of Flex is codenamed "Gumbo" and we are beginning to get out information on the kinds of things we're thinking about. One of our themes is called "Design in Mind" and I have now posted information on the open source site to try to set the context for what we're looking at. Over the next few weeks, engineers will be putting up specifications and blog postings about the kinds of things we're looking at as part of this theme. More themes will get their intros over time as well.

Given that we're only a few months into even thinking about this release, it may be the earliest that we've put out anything substantial on a release that admittedly is still a ways away.

Follow the Flex 4 development plans here. (Note: opensource.adobe.com will be down for maintenance on Saturday April 12, be forewarned).

I've been playing with Google App Engine since last night and I love it. Here, I present to you a simple example I built that shows you how to build Flash and Flex applications with Google App Engine and PyAMF. This example uses the Users API to log users in to your Flash application and [...]
