ScaleNine Themes and Flex 3

02/22/2008 12:07 am by ScaleNine Blog in general

I’ve been getting emails regarding some of the themes featured on ScaleNine not working properly with Flex 3. There have been some changes to the framework that have caused this, like Panel changes and name changes for some styles. However, there are things that were added to Flex 3 that you can take advantage of [...]

Making Flex Web Service calls in ActionScript

02/14/2008 06:47 pm by Danny Patterson in General

I was using Flex the other day to consume some SOAP web services. However, I needed a way to modify the SOAP header in the request. This is exposed by calling the addHeader method on the service. That was easy enough, but I was finding my code difficult to manage when the [...]

Adding Multiple Children in a Flex State

01/25/2008 05:23 pm by Danny Patterson in General

Many times I've had to add multiple children in a Flex state. Take the following simple example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical"> <mx:Label id="topLabel" text="Top" /> <mx:Button label="showChildren" click="currentState='children';" /> <mx:states> <mx:State name="children"> <mx:AddChild relativeTo="{topLabel}" position="after"> <mx:Label text="third" [...]

.NET Framework library source (released)

01/18/2008 12:58 am by Manish Jethani in General

As you’ve probably heard, Microsoft has released the source code to some of the .NET Framework libraries under a read-only reference license. When I first learnt of this, my reaction was, “What?!” So you’re telling me that, all these years, .NET developers did not have access to the source code of these libraries? Oh. My. God. Sorry, but this [...]

Obama at Google

01/17/2008 11:39 pm by Manish Jethani in General

Here’s a 64-minute video of 2008 US presidential candidate Barack Obama’s talk at the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California, dated November 14, 2007. It’s good to know Mr. Obama’s position on various technology-related issues, like net neutrality, universally accessible formats, and also the H-1B program. Worth a watch. Video: Candidates@Google: Barack Obama Nat Friedman has set [...]

Donate to charity this holiday season

12/20/2007 01:10 am by Peter Elst in General

Just two weeks ago Ted Patrick launched a wonderful initiative where he auctioned some rare bags he had lying around for charity. He pledged to personally double the proceeds and Adobe has a program whereby it doubles any gifts to charity by employees. I managed to get the winning bid on the “Platform Evangelist Team” [...]

Adobe to Open-Source Remoting Code

12/13/2007 10:43 pm by Danny Patterson in General

Adobe just anounced its plans to open-source the remoting and messaging code found in Live-cycle Data Services. The new project is called BlazeDS and is deployed as a J2EE application. This is really huge. There are many non-adobe or open-source projects to handle AMF remoting including classics like OpenAMF, but most don't support AMF3 yet [...]

Break Free

Saatchi & Saatchi did this site to illustrate even more my point about Flash and the South African corporate market. It's a start init?

Offers you a low and high bandwidth upon entering. Didn't remember my choice but that would be a nice-to-have. Looks like a normal site, acts like a normal site but it's Flash. Not bad. A little bit like like Savannah, "It's dry but you can drink it".

Where have all the Flash peoples gone? - part 2

11/15/2007 01:51 pm by wezside in General

Some feedback on my previous article from people back home made me realise I made quite a bold statement without really explaining myself. My argument has no value for some people in SA as I am currently residing in the UK. I am fine with this as I know I will never win the expat argument no matter how hard I try. So this is a lame attempt to cover up some holes I left in my previous post but I can guarantee you there is no back peddling done here.
