Flex Builder extensibility documentation online!

11/19/2008 01:52 am by Marking Occurrences in Flex Builder Development

So the full documentation for Flex Builder extensibility is finally online. This also means the JavaDoc for Code Model is online as well. Code Model is the engine that drives the language-aware features in Flex Builder and Flash Catalyst. We’ve tried to make sure the published APIs stay well documented, and I’m constantly moving more functionality into the [...]

Tour de Flex

11/18/2008 02:04 pm by Tink in Flex 3.0

I can now plug Tour de Flex. Tour de Flex is a desktop application for exploring Flex capabilities and resources, including the core Flex components, Adobe AIR and data integration, as well as a variety of third-party components, effects, skins, and more. It’s an interesting tool, although personally I’d prefer to just hit a web page. Not [...]

Vote for sampled audio to not crash IE7

11/17/2008 12:55 pm in Flex

Turns out there’s a nasty bug in sampled audio playback in the newly released Flash 10 player. Found by Tyler Wright of Legato Media, this bug takes down your entire IE7 browser if you open simultaneous windows with Flash content, one of which is playing back audio using the new SampleDataEvent API. This [...]

Flex Move Effect Messes Up Mask Alignment

11/17/2008 06:01 am by Flex and Flash Developer - Jesse Warden dot Kizz-ohm in Flex

In creating some custom components in Flex 3 last week, I battled off and on all week with a bloody Move effect. It kept screwing up the mask I used. Basically, it’s a timeline that shows 24 hours in a horizontal timeline. The parent masks 6 hours off. When a new date is set, it [...]

11/13/2008 01:01 am in Flex

I haven’t had much time to post to this blog (or work on Snackr) because our team has been really busy getting ready to show off an early version of Thermo at MAX 2008. In fact, we’re doing better than showing it–we’re also going to give a very early preview release to MAX attendees! If you’re [...]

Intuit Unites Flex RIAs and the Cloud

11/12/2008 10:03 pm in Flex

Normal computer users like my father know at least three software vendors: Microsoft, Adobe, and Intuit. Microsoft is known for Windows and Office, Adobe for PDF (Reader / Acrobat), and Intuit for Quicken and QuickBooks. Yet all three of these software vendors are changing. All are moving in two directions concurrently: rich [...]

Flexcover upgrade for Flex 3.2.0 SDK is looking good

11/11/2008 03:29 am in Flex

Alex and I — lately, to be honest, it’s mostly Alex — have been working on the forthcoming upgrade release of Flexcover, the code coverage instrumentation tool for Flex/AS3. I’m feeling pleased because I finally merged up the modifications to the Flex SDK compiler to the 3.2.0 branch, in preparation for an expected release [...]

Portable RIAs - Flex Apps in PDFs

11/05/2008 08:54 pm in Flex

The web began as a platform for browsing, finding, exchanging documents. Over the past ten years the web has moved beyond this document-centric role, and is now a platform for exchanging data. We typically refer to web sites used for data exchange as web applications. The next major evolution of the web is underway as [...]

With Flex NASDAQ Makes Stock Chart very Useful

11/05/2008 08:15 pm by Flex RIA United in Flex Example

Our friend Tom of VDE Projects pointed me to this nice Flex stock chart from NASDAQ. I found it’s a very useful stock chart. We all know Google uses Flash to plot its stock chart. Google’s is simple and easy. However, except having a quick glance on what’s the stock is doing, there isn’t any [...]
