07/01/2008 07:00 pm by Brajeshwar in Featured

There is a lot of information present in bits and nibbles over the web, what's needed for now is an approach, a paradigm to get a neat interface and logical relationship to the vast and rich mine of free information.

Flash on free software: FlashDevelop and Flex SDK

07/01/2008 06:41 pm by Everyday Flash in Actionscript 3

I have been recently asked a couple of times about the source code that I publish and how to compile it. I decided to write a short note on that. For my experiments, I use a combination of FlashDevelop and the free Flex SDK from Adobe Open Source. It is much better suited to work with [...]

Expressions evaluation at (almost) native speed

07/01/2008 06:00 pm by sephiroth.it - flash & php in actionscript

Finally I found a bit of time this weekend to do some other tests with expressions evaluation.

The results are pretty interesting, even if obvious from some point of view. I took the ExpressionEvaluator I wrote as example for the first post about this topic, and then I edited a bit the code adding just in time AS Bytecode compilation.
Thanks to that, expressions evaluation is much more fast and always safe because it runs in its own ApplicationDomain.

You can download the sources here, that includes the edited code and a test file. The test file runs 1 milion of iterations and may hang your browser or at worst case your system. Reduce the value of the ITERATIONS constant if you are not sure about the power of you machine.

If you want to read a bit more details about that, click on the link below to continue reading.

Trend Check on Flex, Silverlight and JavaFX

07/01/2008 05:24 pm by Flex RIA United in Sun JavaFX

It’s almost half way into 2008. I think it’s about time to have a reality check on what’s going on in RIA space. Specifically, what’s up with Adobe Flex, Microsoft Silverlight and Sun JavaFX, the so called RIA trio. I believe what people want and look for show the best way to measure the trend. That’s [...]

Is Flash Why iYomu Died?

07/01/2008 05:00 pm by Flex RIA United in Thinking Loud

Starting its name with a small ‘i’, having a flash-based personality test with another small ‘i’, and even a million dollar challenge couldn’t help iYomu take off. iYomu, which stands for “I, You, Me and Us”, was a flash-heavy social networking site. It started a little less than a year ago branding itself as a “social [...]

Good news for RIA and SWF

07/01/2008 01:44 pm by EverythingFlex in Flash Player

Google and Adobe have been working together for a while to get SWF content indexed and today, the announcement that this is finally occurring has come to fruition. The good news: Embedded text and text deriving from external files are now being indexed and are searchable through Google. The bad news: Any content loaded from a server [...]

Google And Yahoo! Are Indexing SWF Files

07/01/2008 12:40 pm in Flash

This is a great news! I’ve been waiting for this to happen for a long time. If you don’t believe me that Google is indexing flash try to search on Google by this kind of phrases: “flex filetype:swf“; and you’ll get a list of SWF files that were indexed by Google. How does Google do this? [...]

Flash Content Is Now Searchable

07/01/2008 10:32 am by Ben Forta's Blog in Flash

Adobe has announced new technologies that will allow SWF content to be indexed and searchable, not just text in the SWF, but also data generated programatically and at runtime. Google is the first to leverage this new ability, and some great Google-centric context can be found on the Google Webmaster Central Blog entry entitled Improved Flash Indexing.

New algorithm for indexing textual content in Flash and Flex (SWF) by Google search engine

07/01/2008 10:23 am by Marco Casario | RIAvolutionize the web in Flex

I just wanted to pass the news I've just read from the Google Official Blog: Google has been developing a new algorithm for indexing textual content in Flash files of all kinds, from Flash menus, buttons and banners, to self-contained Flash websites. Recently, we've improved the performance of this Flash indexing algorithm by integrating Adobe's Flash Player technology.

Thoughts on Fully Searchable Flash

07/01/2008 08:33 am by Peter Elst in Flash

OK, the news today is that Adobe is working with Google and Yahoo! to make sure they are able to index SWF content fully. That’s pretty exciting and a real step in the good direction but it does leave me with a bunch of questions and concerns. Reportedly Google and Yahoo! have been given a ’special, [...]

Adobe enables Flash searchability

07/01/2008 08:13 am in Adobe Systems

Adobe announced today that we’ve been working with Google and Yahoo on technology that will allow Flash content, specifically SWF files, to be crawled and indexed by their search engines. Our new searchable SWF technology basically acts like a virtual human in that it moves through your applications, gets data from the server and [...]

Adobe SEO - Where’s The Beef…Err, Video

07/01/2008 07:07 am by Brooks Andrus in Flash

I’m just curious if flv / h.264 cuePoints / timed-text tracks, captions and other metadata will actually be picked up by the search engines now? I’m guessing based on “the dance” here that we can’t expect any actual deep linking to automagically appear. Right now we’re being spoon fed information. What I’m hoping to hear soon are [...]

Adobe Flash SEO Announcement Leaves Microsoft In The Cold

07/01/2008 06:36 am by Brooks Andrus in Flash

Ryan and the Adobe team just let the world know that SEO is no longer the elephant in the room when it comes to Flash goodness. I’m obviously not in the loop and can’t add much, but it was curious that Adobe, by the looks of the announcement, is not collaborating with Microsoft. Google and [...]

Transaction Costs Make Or Break Great Ideas

07/01/2008 05:32 am by Brooks Andrus in Misc

I’ve long been a fan of Gary Vaynerchuck. He’s innovative and in many ways represents much of what is good about the new media / user generated content revolution. That’s why I was stoked to stumble on to Cork’d. I signed up for the service and immediately started kicking out my first wine review. However, during [...]

Away3d: Marble Atom

07/01/2008 03:45 am by infinite turtles in 3d Flash

This started out as a demo for the depth-of-field sprite object, but quickly metamorphosed into something involving blendmodes, bitmap sessions, marbles… With the tiled atoms in the background, strictly speaking the dof shouldn’t be apparent at all, but i do suffer from tweak obsession, so probably best to leave it. I may do another demo soon [...]
