BindingUtils.bindSetter()
2007-01-30 21:40:03 A lot of times when working within the Flex framework using data binding is invaluable, and many time it suits to bind one property directly to another. A lot of people use the Bindi ng tag within MXML, but I really prefer to keep this kind of logic strictly within Actionscript. In fact to keep my ... More About: Guti
Floating window woes
2006-12-29 21:32:01 I ran into an issue today where I had to have a window that constantly floated within the bounds of the browser screen...meaning whether there were scrollbars (flex scrollbars) or not this window would always sit flush with the bottom of the browser. For this I had to get the dimensions of the browser [...] More About: Wind , Floating , Indo , Window
SwfAddress
2006-12-29 21:32:01 I know this has been all over the community at this point... but i got my first chance to take a really good look at it in regards to a practical application, and did some research. This seems to be by far the best option right now, especially when it comes to Safari when one [...] More About: Dress , Address
Employment
2006-12-29 21:32:01 After a long grueling process I have elected to accept a Flex Application Developer (or something like that) position with 9mm. Of all companies I talked to they had the most character, were the most charismatic, showed that 'something' you look for in a company, and showed the most promise for the future. Let me [...] More About: Men , Employment
Keyboard navigation manager
2006-12-29 21:32:01 This is a utility class i wrote a while back to give objects on the stage keyboard functionality. It's very easy to use. You instantiate an instance of the class and then add items to it with the addItem() method. This method takes three parameters : column, row, and item. After [...] More About: Manager , Board , Navigation , Keyboard , Mana
Flash Player Penetration
2006-12-29 21:32:01 Adobe released flash player penetration stats as of Sep. 2006. You can view it here. Due in large part(in my opinion) to myspace express installing users to Flash Play er 9, after only 3.5 months (I believe) it's penetration in the US/Canada is already 40%! A lot of times stats like these can really sway a client to [...] More About: Flash Player , Player , Trat
Flex
2006-12-29 21:32:01 Lately in the Flex community I've heard a lot of griping about having to 'hack' components to get them to work how you want. And that it feels 'dirty,' like you're 'hacking' the framework when you have to override important methods within the framework to get it to better suit your needs. The truth of the [...]
Webcam
2006-12-29 21:32:01 Here's an experiment I did with webcams and bitmap data. If you don't have a webcam, the picture down below may be a bit deceiving. By using filters, and threshold I was able to isolate movement from the webcam and fill it with a certain color. Enjoy. Edit: Over the weekend as an afterthought I [...] More About: Webcam
Spectrum Analyzers
2006-12-29 21:32:01 With Actionscript 3 came the new feature of spectrum analyzation using ByteArray, and computerSpectrum . I played around with this for a little while after seeing Steve messing with it, and I came up with the following combing computerSpectrum and BitmapData. I'm not going to get too technically into how it works, but here it is, to the [...] More About: Analyzer , Analyze , Anal
If Flex tells you the flash player you have installed is not
2006-12-29 21:32:01 If you happen to upgrade your Flash player version to a non debugger version Flex will yell at you the next time you try to compile in debugger mode, and tell you something scary like you may need to reinstall . If this happens, just go here and re-download the debugger version. You may find [...] More About: Flash Player , Play , Player , Tall
The DateChooser
2006-12-29 21:32:01 I am currently building an XML driven photo gallery in Flex, and thought I'd introduce myself to the DateChoose r. As I began playing around with it, I realized to get it to work exactly as I wanted it to, I'd have some work ahead of me. One of the properties of the DateChooser [...] More About: Tech , The D
