8 Mar 19:32 So a bunch of people have been posting the results of the surveys from their 360|Flex sessions. I’ve wavered on this a tiny bit, I’m just a little embarrassed, both because of the positive feedback (*blushes*), but also because I offended some people in the session. So off the bat I want to say to [... 2 Mar 08:28 360|Flex wrapped up on Wednesday and I wanted to do a quick writeup of my overall thoughts about the conference. First off, I think this was the best Flex conference ever put on. That’s a bold statement because I haven’t been to some of the other Flex conferences, but I’m fairly confident it’s true. I’ve [... 27 Feb 07:51 Here are all the examples I showed today in my session at 360|Flex. The demos are the Physics Form, VistaFlow 3D, WindowShade + Degrafa, MP3 Thumbnail CoverFlow, and FlexSpy Event Listeners. All examples have the full source code available and I’ve tried to write up brief descriptions about each one. I’ve also posted a PDF [... 26 Feb 16:00 So tomorrow at 360Flex at 10 am we’re getting together a bunch of open source Flex developers to talk about a few key open source projects, what it’s like to start an open source project, and whatever other random stuff people want to talk about. The truth is, I don’t know what will end up [... 22 Feb 10:08 Well I’ll be damned, in my last post I wrote about how I was trying to figure out which class was calling addEventListener on a FlexSprite. I couldn’t figure out a way to get the name of the calling class, or the name of the method that called addEventListener(). Well, Almog Kurtser commented that there’s [... 22 Feb 05:36 A while back Ben Clinkinbeard asked a question on flexcoders saying “Am I the only one who wishes EventDispatcher exposed its listeners?” The fundamental issue was that he wanted to get a list of all the event listeners that had been added to a given component. The approach: using FlexSprite Someone suggested monkey patching UIComponent to [... 10 Feb 12:52 A new Flex container has been added to FlexLib, called the WindowShade. This container shows a header button above or below the content of the container. Clicking the header button opens or closes the panel. This lets you easily create expandable panels in your Flex applications. A single WindowShade container can be used on its [... 4 Feb 04:18 Since the next 360|Flex is fast approaching, I thought I’d post the full recording of my session at the last 360|Flex in Seattle. You can do whatever you want with this video, embed it wherever, watch it wherever, you can even download the original mp4 video file. Hopefully the embedded video is good enough quality [... 30 Jan 14:34 Next Thursday, Februray 7, I’ll be speaking at the Orange County Flex user group about how to use open source Flex code in your own projects. I’ll be covering how to find, download, compile, and use open source as3 libraries, and I’ll be showing off some examples of things you can make without much work [... 29 Jan 19:08 I just checked the eBay Widget Design Contest rules page again, and was happily surprised to see two important changes to the rules that now make it feasible for Flex developers to enter the contest. You are now allowed to use open-source code licensed under the MIT or BSD licenses, and your widget can be [... |
