I been trying to explain to a friend how to use Value Objects to describe data, after a google search returned nothing more than an ancient DevNet article by Branden Hall, I figured I’d better write a quick example.
So the first thing I do is fire up FlexBuilder and create a new project, source […]

Did I miss anything?
It seem like the last few days have been jam packed with tons of exciting stuff.
First from Adobe we have Flex Builder 3 hitting labs.adobe.com there are lots of cool additions to the working environment, some new components, even more integration with Flash custom components, full AIR integration, the ability to hot […]

It's been a really long time since I used the IDE but a big project I'm working on at the moment calls for it. I wished that I could hit a button and compile all my open Fla's.
Thankfully I've been here before, with a little JSFL you can publish all the open documents:
PLAIN TEXT
JAVASCRIPT:

But, but, but, but...

When I first saw the demos of Apollo and the HTML element with it's ability to be manipulated as if it's a MovieClip an idea popped into my mind.
It's taken a while for me to get the time and inclination to play with Apollo, Mike Downey's talk at LFPUG on Tuesday was enough of a [...]

There's a very interesting post over on ZD-Net which is confirming every Apple/Flash geeks dream, Flash Player on the iPhone.
This goes a little further to clear up the mysterious correspondence I had with an un-namable Adobe employee which went something like this.
Me: Can you see a future when Flash is deployed to the iPhone?
Adobe: psst [...]

I've wanted to have a play with Flex for a while, I see the Framework and components as an easier way to build RIA's without some of the hassle of writing complex components.
The problem I've had previously when attempting to build anything was hooking up the data/back end. And it's true there is a [...]

** Disclaimer, the below post will only be useful if you're building Flash/Flex in Eclipse, on an intel Mac OSX **
So I haven't been posting because I've been busy with the doing. This new job is cool and all but it's also really hard work, not least because I'm completely new to the Eclipse development [...]

The last couple of weeks have been rather hectic.
A month ago on Monday I handed in my notice after accepting an offer at Work Communications, it wasn't a bad offer, good money - better work - nicer office, but I knew it wasn't going to stretch me THAT much.
At the time of accepting the offer [...]

Gotuit, is a very slick Flash based YouTube.
There are a couple of really sheet features:

The whole interface is build in Flash so you can browse and watch at the same time
You can zoom the video and it hardly misses a beat

It's still beta (of course) but there are also a few things they could do [...]
