Reduce the size of a Flex 3 application avoiding unnecessary references with the getQualifiedClassName() method

04/23/2008 06:54 pm by Marco Casario | RIAvolutionize the web in Flex

There are many ways you can use to control and optimize the performance of your Flex applications acting both on the server as well as on the client side. The first optimization you can implement is by reducing the time tha application takes to start. Externalizing assets and searching for linker dependencies are simple approaches that can save the end user a lot of time in loading te Flex application. It's common for developers that at the end of a Flex application they are inadvertently linking in some classes that they never use. I've found that another common error is to let the compiler to include classes that the application won't use for its entire life. That's a shame ! So an important step to check before compiling and deploying a Flex app is to check that you're not including unused classes

Talkin’ About a Revolution

04/23/2008 06:01 pm in Adobe AIR

Revolutions may be enabled by technology, but they are driven by people. Adobe’s recent announcements about Flex, Flash, and Adobe AIR on Linux are the most recent technology enablers for the software revolution that is currently underway. Usually I’m one of the first to post about Adobe’s Linux related announcements. My trip to Bangalore, [...]

Host A Flex Camp

04/23/2008 04:45 pm by Ben Forta's Blog in Flex

I've been blogging Flex Camp announcements for a while, and have spoken at many too (the next one I plan on attending is May 15th in Toronto). Flex Camps are fun, informative, educational, and great networking tools, too. If you're interested in hosting your own Flex Camp, visit this Flex Camp page at flex.org and download the Host Your Own Flex Camp Guide. You'll find all the details you need, as well as information on how Adobe may be able to help fund your event. Oh, and then don't forget to invite me! ;-)

BAADAUG Security and Policy File Presentation

04/23/2008 02:55 pm by senocular.com in

Thank you to everyone who attended last night's BAAD Adobe user group meeting here in San Francisco. I've uploaded the presentation and demo source files for download. Unfortunately because of the server dependencies needed for the demos to work, they're not exactly download-and-test-able. They can, however, provide a reference for understanding the different cross-domain concepts the demonstrate.

Create Combined Java/Flex project in Flex Builder

04/23/2008 02:37 pm by Adrian Aioanei in Flex

One of the new features in Flex Builder 3 is that you can create a combined Java/Flex project. This feature was added to help developers who code on both server side and client side parts for a project. Also it really helps development by keeping all code together for a specific project and also there [...]

Flash Switcher for Windows, OSX and Linux

04/23/2008 02:33 pm by sephiroth.it - flash & php in flash switcher

With the upcoming release of Firefox 3 I thought I had to verify my extensions to see if they work with the new Firefox version too.
For the first version of flash switcher I did two different extensions for Windows and Mac. That was a problem for maintenance.

This time I wrote the extension from scratch and I decided to make it as much as cross platform as possible. Moreover I wanted to make the installation of new plugins easier than in the previous version of flash switcher extension ( where you had to copy manually the plugin file into the extension's directory.. ).

Thus now this extension works ( at least with my tests and people who tested it ) with Windows, OSX and Linux. Specifically it has been tested on:

Windows XP
Ubuntu linux 8.04
OSX Leopard and Tiger

Also the installation of new plugins now it's easy. Just click on the installed flash plugin and click "save". Well, I think it's quite easy :)

The only issue with the new extension is that it's quite big because it comes with 2 flash versions for every OS platform. So it's about 14Mb.

I also did a couple of video to show how it currently works on different platforms. Currently there are 2 videos (ubuntu and osx usage).

Flash Switcher Ubuntu
01:14

Flash Switcher OSX 10.5
00:44

In order to use this extension ( if you want to try it ) you need Firefox 3.
P.S. If you want to add more flash players to the extension, download and install the version you want from the flash player archive page.

how about an xsd to as3 class generator?

There are some really powerful solutions out there for communication between Flesh apps and the backend nowadays.
