Fabian Vercuiel has posted a useful entry on his blog titled ‘Installing Papervision3D on Flash and Flex‘ which outlines how to get up and running with Papervision3D using Flash and Flex. He covers, downloading and installing a subversion client such as TortoiseSVN, getting the Great White Papervision3D files from GoogleCode, downloading and installing the Flash Extension [...]
I just finished my first AIR app as an exercise. I really dig the concept of AIR since my Code-Fu is nowhere near strong enough to mess with Cocoa. So anyway; My first app is small stuff indeed. In fact I think “Widget” is a better word for it. Inevitably, it has to do with Twitter [...]
Jason Bartholme has posted a good list of 101 Adobe AIR Resources on his blog. He has broken the links down in to the following categories … Getting Started Application Collections Articles Bloggers Language-Specific Integration Popular Applications Resources Third Party Integration Tutorials
This is a VERY generic CheckBox item renderer to use in a DataGrid. All you have to do is drop it in your DataGridColumn and it will take care of himself. Only thing you need to make sure is the data it receives to be a Boolean. You do not have to give it any data specific values [...]
The Adobe Thermo presentation given by Ethan Eeismann at FITC was largely a disappointment. Rather than delivering actual examples of a designer working in the latest build of Thermo, the slide driven talk labored through the historical workflow friction between designers and developers and then presented only a few screen grabs of the app where [...]
As many of you know, Radiohead is having a video contest dealie. Lance pointed this out to me back in March and suggested that I give it a go. And a go I did give. First, however, I will discuss why I have decided not to submit my entry. After I started working on the piece, I [...]
FiTC 2008 Toronto has wrapped up. As I write this, I am on a plane somewhere over the square states. My dinner of slightly burned vegetarian ravioli is meeting up with the bloody mary appetizer already happily resting in my gut. Now that we are entering turbulent air, I am writing this post to distract [...]
Spent the last 20 minutes trying to figure out how to return the primary key back to Flex from an SQL insert command in ColdFusion. Turns out to be a really easy thing to do. private function insert_ResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {   this.primaryKey = parseInt(event.result.toString()); } Very Handy!
Here is a little 3D graph as per my earlier post, with randomly generated data. My URL scheme for this blog messes up the right-click ActionScript View Source option (virtual versus real paths), so you can find it here. (I’m sure there’s a way round that but I really can’t be bothered [...]
It’s been busy here in Thermo-land, as we work furiously (no really! we’re furious people!) to turn our vision into reality. I have a fun side project that I’m going to post about in a little bit once I get a few bugs worked out. In the meantime, here’s a video interview that Ryan Stewart, [...]
I’m not writing anything that hasn’t already been documented out there before, but I did want to mention one of my favorite things about AS3 - E4X. E4X is ECMAScript for XML. You can read...

Have you checked the Singularity Web Conference speaker line-up recently? We've been busy!
As usual, I was blown away by Robert Hodgin's presentation at FiTC, and decided to get back into Processing again. I picked up the official Ben and Casey book at the conference book table and was reading it on the way back on the plane. Three methods described in the book blew me away with [...]

Hyper Island’s unique approach to digital media and business management education, challenges [...]

So while Internal Server Error was down again…err, sorry, while MXNA was down again, I went and checked in over at Web Worker Daily and found this gem: Simple Spark, a catalog of over 8500 Web Apps, broken down by category with reviews and ratings for each. It’s pretty impressive, I’ve already found [...]
I’ll be in Salt Lake City next week doing a presentation on Flex. Invitation below. I hope to see you there!
A couple of weeks ago Thibault Imbert from ByteArray.org announced that he just finished a book on ActionScript 3. It was supposed to be released by O'Reilly France. However, for different reasons, the editor couldn't publish it. Thibault then decided to release it for free in form of a PDF file! He created a fresh [...]
JavaOne 2008 begins in just over a week! Adobe is a sponsor again so you will find me in the booth when I’m not out at the many JavaOne parties. On Wednesday night Adobe will be hosting their party at Jillian’s. Preceding the party Chet Haase and I will be presenting a [...]
