Kind-of just for the hell of it as much as for any potential use value, I’ve converted all my notes related to programming, Flash, etc. - which used to live in various text files as various versions on various computers - into a wiki format. And have made it publicly viewable. Because, I figure, why [...]
Today Adobe announced the creation of the Open Screen Project. Adobe, along with a large number of partners including Intel, ARM, Marvell, Nokia, Verizon, NTT DoCoMo, NBC Universal, MTV Networks and many others, will be working to create an environment that enables designers and developers to create rich content and applications that can run [...]
When your browser connects to the internet through a proxy and you try to upload using FileRefence you might get an IOError or a 406 http not acceptable error. I say ‘might’ because not all OS browser combinations trigger this error. On Windows/Firefox you will probably get an authentication popup to enter the proxy username [...]
After watching Buzz Bissinger’s melt down and Bob Costas’ ignorance and hubris last night on HBO’s Costas Now, I was tempted to let the fingers fly and hammer out a scathing indictment on their Luddite and elitist worldview. I passed on the immediate opportunity, but Sporting News did it for me, albeit with a gentler [...]

In the past Open Web proponents have criticized Flash and Flex because the SWF specification - while being published and publicly available - limited what readers could do with the specification. More specifically the agreement to view the specification required that readers not build programs that would run SWF files. The intentions behind [...]

Interesting write-up by Damien Katz on the drawbacks of the Erlang language.
Flash Magazine has a story on Sony Ericsson’s upcoming SWF2Jar Flash Lite wrapper and API. PC World also has a similar coverage. Exciting news for Flash Lite developers!
Update: This is called Project Capuchin, more info at Sony Ericsson’s news site.
I have been thinking about the useWeakReference argument in IEventDispatcher’s addEventListener() method. I feel like I don’t really trust it - see Joe Berkovitz’ post from last year - and also that a lot of the time, it’s not doing the job I want.
I often find that the only thing preventing an object in [...]
Normally I don’t like to spend a lot of time just posting links to other people’s blog posts, but since MXNA is down, I wanted to point out Rob Adams’s excellent blog post about the paper prototype studies we’ve been doing on Thermo’s UI. His post has a lot of great tips on how to [...]

For big projects that involves more people a version control software is a must. There are many but from the two most used, which are CVS (Concurrent Versions System) and SVN (Subversion), I'll explain how to install Subclipse on Flex Builder 3 - Subclipse is a plug-in providing support for Subversion within the Eclipse IDE [...]
