Well, the last one went so well, and we had to turn away quite a few people, we scheduled it again for this Sunday July 27th! I’d meant to blog about this sooner, but honestly, i’d just gotten off of a massive headache of a project and hadn’t given much attention to much else [...]
Last week a link was quietly dropped on the TechSmith website which includes the ActionScript 2 source code and graphical assets for Camtasia Studio’s ExpressShow Flash playback wrapper. This package allows Flash developers to the customize look / feel and behavior of the playback controls, hotspots, quizzing and captioning for Camtasia Studio 5.x ExpressShow screencasts. [...]
PixelBender is a great tool and an awesome new feature for the Flash Player 10. But one thing that we all miss is the ability to have loops in PixelBender when compiling for Flash. If you want the ability to have loops there is only one choice: You have to unroll them at runtime. If you [...]

This seems like a recurring topic for me. The lament of the modern Flash Designer/Developer. The quandary is a deep one with no easy answer. Has Adobe’s near completion of Macromedia’s vision for Flash as a modern, powerful virtual machine robust enough for application development left the designer in the dust? Where is the missing [...]
Adobe Platform Evangelist Serge Jespers (who has extensive Flash and Flex experience) took a 3 day Silverlight training class this week and has posted his thoughts in an entry entitled Silverlight: The good, the bad and the ugly.
About a month ago I posted the monster deck of 165 slides from my ActionScript 3 workshop. The one thing that was holding it back from being a really useful reference was the need to click through every slide to find what you were looking for. I added the ability to search for keywords using the TextSnapshot object.
Tom King makes some excellent points in response to my last post which means its time for me to get serious and add some real meat to the discussion rather than just dumping gas on the burning carcass of elearning and dancing gleefully. ;-) Here are a few things to consider when analyzing the depth of [...]

It's not uncommon for less experienced developers, particularly self-taught developers, to be a little confused about the purpose of the parentheses you put after a function name when calling the function. The most common question is why aren't the parentheses used when assigning a function as an event handler?...

It’s take some time, but finally here it is! I’ve made my presentations available via Share on Acrobat.com for everyone to view or download for their own use. Flex in Acrobat 9… It’s PDF meets Web 2.0 This session covered the latest integration between Flash and PDF given that with both Acrobat 9 and Reader 9 the [...]

In this tutorial I’m presenting you a little weather widget, that could come handy for travel websites, or our personal page. If you make some changes on the code, you could show a different interface on your website, according to the weather on your city. Pretty cool stuff. We gonna connect weather.com XML data file with our flash widget. Weather.com offers us a free service to do that.

One of the “big” problems while creating a flash site is the font you want to use. Choosing between rendering the text to a jpg or using one of the standard not-very-interesting fonts that are guaranteed to work in any browser is the main question. With sIFR you don’t need to bear in mind these [...]
