Planet Flash
The voice of the Flash community
I'm happy to announce that Adobe acquired gProject late last year. Since then, we have been working with the Flash team to completely overhaul the panel for AS3, add new functionality, and significantly improve the interface.

While developping our latest project we encountered a bug in the Flash IDE that caused us many headaches and woes. Our project was setup in the Flash IDE with assets and files located in subdirectories, nothing fancy. Right on the last day of production, suddenly after a particular commit , our project would no longer [...]
Stark wasn't stung by an insect nor was sent to earth from a superior planet, he isn't mutated nor alien-like but is rather the casual bad-boy with a taste for one-night-stands, engineering, and scotch. This "not the superhero type" attitude, is something that makes Iron Man so effective and wonderful.

So, what can you do with an old PC notebook and some time on your hands? Why not try getting Mac OS X Leopard to run on it.
Turned out not to be too difficult at all, if you look around you’ll find detailed walkthroughs on how to get it done.
These are some specs of [...]
I am really excited about the announcement of the new Open Screen project from Adobe, but again there is no sign of Apple.
The Open Screen Project is supported by technology leaders, including Adobe, ARM, Chunghwa Telecom, Cisco, Intel, LG Electronics Inc., Marvell, Motorola, Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics Co., Sony Ericsson, Toshiba and Verizon [...]
In today’s internet world, web sites are using more catchy and snazzy videos to gain people’s interest and to capture larger market share. In this process site developers are been troubled to check out the stuff from other servers due to security reasons. As usage of cross border data is often a necessity it is [...]
Omniture
is one of the leading analytic vendors out there. Chances are that if you're
an Actionscripter you will come across implementing Omniture tracking on one of
your projects. I briefly overviewed various tracking in a previous post
but thought it might be useful to cover this vendor in-depth. Usually this level of tracking implementation are done on medium to larger flash projects or where the project is part of an online campaign. Smaller sites often don't require this level of tracking and a straight forward implementation of Google Analytics should suffice.
Omniture like many others use Javascript to make requests to a server, passing key-value pairs, to record user activity. Omniture also has a Flash component called ActionSource for more advanced tracking. This post will focus on the ActionSource component and the Omniture setup in general. If you require more information on the Javascript implementation, please read my previous post.

The SWF format is now totally open. Rejoice!
This is big news: Adobe is removing restrictions on the use of the SWF and FLV/F4V specifications as part of their new Open Screen Project 2008.
When Mark Doherty emailed me to tell me about his post on Adobe's Open Screen Project 2008, I wasn't expecting such [...]
This post utilizes the checkbox item renderer from the previous post.
Here I have applied the same generic checkbox renderer approach to use as a headerRenderer on every DataGridColumn.
Again - as in the previous post, you do not have to change anything.
Just drop the CheckBoxHeaderRenderer class into your headerRenderer property of any data grid column - [...]
Yesterday, I download the latest MacBreak video and what do I see —
<rant>
This is probably the worst description of any product I’ve ever seen. First of all, Bordeaux is not Thermo — secondly there’s already quite a bit of information out on Thermo since the MAX conference last October.
Two minutes of research or [...]
