Planet Flash
The voice of the Flash community
I've posted the slides for my presentation at FITC 2008 Amsterdam: Flex Solutions for your daily development.
Some of the session highlights
Today Adobe announced that the pre-release alpha version of Adobe AIR for Linux! Previously the AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) platform was only available to Mac and Windows users. Now Linux users can run AIR applications and RIA developers can extend the reach of their desktop applications on Adobe AIR to Linux users without writing additional platform-specific code!
Go to Adobe Labs [...]
RegExr is now the first free tool for editing and testing regular expressions (RegEx) that runs on Mac OSX, Windows, Linux, and online.
Here’s a nice little poster to put up for a quick reference to the Flash, Flex and AIR API’s. It’s pretty big so taking this pdf to a professional print shop is the best way to go.
Or
If your looking for a more compact version Mike Chambers posted a newer version that is intended to be [...]
I’ve been pining for an AS3 code coverage tool for so long, I feel sick. I hate not being able to know how much of my code is actually exercised by test cases, whether automated or manual. So I’ve been playing with an idea on how to get AS3 code coverage working for [...]
Since September 07 I’ve been working as a Intern at the Adobe office in Ottawa, Canada. I thought I would share some of my thoughts about what its like to work as a intern for a company like Adobe.
Currently I’m in my second co-op term at Adobe working as Software Verification Intern and I just [...]
If you’ve updated to 10.5.2, and FlexBuilder is crashing (or your system for that matter) when you try debugging your app, you’ll have to uninstall the flash debug player for the browser and reinstall it fresh.
Andy and I just spent 2 days in Flex hell and this ended up being the fix. We finally [...]
Today, Adobe announced the much anticipated public beta release of Photoshop Express, a web-based flex application that lets anyone add eye-catching effects as well as sort, store and show off their digital photos. The new Adobe-hosted and -branded service leverages thier advanced technology and makes it accessible to a new online audience – and it’s [...]
I’m pleased to be able to release a new open source tool to the Flex development community today, that comes out our work at Allurent. The tool is called ItDepends and is located on Google Code. It analyzes the dependencies between classes in a Flex application, using a link report generated by the [...]
When you are using MXML containers and declare the children as MXML tags inside the component, there is a possibility to not load all child components at instantiation, possibility known as “deferred instantiation”. That is, the instantiation is deferred by an amount of time depending on creationPolicy property of Container class. This is the property [...]
RegExr is an online tool for editing and testing Regular Expressions (RegExp / RegEx). It provides a simple interface to enter RegEx expressions, and visualize matches in real-time editable source text. It also provides a handy RegExp snippet sidebar with descriptions and usage examples to make it easier to learn Regular Expressions through trial and error.

I’ve got 20 SlideRocket invites to [...]
One of the hot-spots in Flash platform is related to memory, how is it distributed inside the runtime environment, memory leaks and of course garbage collection. The way that memory allocation takes place inside Flash is by instantiation, every time a new Object is created, a memory block is created for it. The problem comes [...]
I’ve been so busy that I completely forgot to mention that my article on designing Flex 3 skins and styles using Creative Suite 3 and Flex Builder 3 went live on the Flex Developer Center when we launched Flex 3. Check it out for information on how to use CS3 with Flex Builder, as well [...]
For the Flex 2 product pages on adobe.com I recorded a screencast of a Flex app being built in 11 minutes. For Flex 3 I recorded a new version of that screencast. In the new version I used Doug McCune’s CoverFlow component but extended it to easily support playing videos. Check out [...]
