jwoLib: PaginatedItemsControlBase

27 Mar 01:23
I finally got around to using Flex Builder 3 for my personal projects since the project I am working for migrated to it awhile back. Call me a late adopter. Generally when you think of pagination, you might think immediately about returned search results from google.  You know, the little arrows down at the bottom indicating [...

It seems based on initial feedback that the Flex + AMFPHP + POG tutorial has peeked the interest of many in the RIA developer community. Of course my tutorial was simply an introduction and how-to to getting these 3 technologies playing together. However it did not go beyond that and as such didn’t [...

13 Mar 04:30
Preface If you are no stranger to the concept of a Rich Internet Application (aka. RIA) and the different constituents that make up a RIA, you can skip this introduction. This tutorial will help developers to setup a Flex application to a database using PHP while minimizing manual database queries. Let’s familiarize ourselves with [...

Bounty Issued: Find the culprit and fix it

11 Mar 05:52
[UPDATE] Looks like a bounty hunter has stepped up to the task and fixed my issue.  Right on man!  Now I am sure I will be running into more AMF + POG + PHP issues in the future.  If they get too time consuming or just can’t get em, I will be issuing further bounties.  Thanks [...

Better documentation for AS3’s XML class (e4x)

28 Feb 03:25
A powerful yet elegantly simple construct As a flex developer, I consider XML as a necessary and highly useful language for various aspects of RIA development. There is a myriad of uses including but not limited to: external URL storage for links non-embedded content loading of jpgs, gifs, pngs and other swfs internal URL pointers for RESTful type [...

Flex Builder 3 Annoyance - code highlighting: How do you turn this thing off?!?!

23 Feb 04:25
[UPDATE] Thanks to Holmes (comments below) I had just enough info to use the proper search string.  It is indeed called “mark occurrences”.  And for those having a hard time finding where in the IDE it resides, here is a screen shot for you: Since a few folks who have been trying to use jwoLib in Flex [...

getDefinitionByName trick

22 Feb 10:20
I am in the process of working on a ClassUtil class that will have static methods for creating class instances from generic objects and xml objects. One thing that I use in order to create nested content within the outer-most object to be created is getDefinitionByName. If you are not familiar with this [...

Yahoo releases AS3 Map API. Finally…

12 Feb 04:18
I think when Yahoo first released their Flex 1.5 Map API, I was super psyched to get my hands on it.  Of course I was just getting my hands dirty with Flex and found the integration and development process with Flex 1.0/1.5 was just awful. Today an answer to one of my prayers has been sent.  [...

Whatchya doin?

7 Feb 08:45
Me?  Well thanks for asking.  I have been hard at work on: trying to gain the fortitude to start going back to the gym after a 1.5 year hiatus restoring an antique chair (fun to get back to hands-on projects) researching RFID technology and how it may play with ActionScript (any pointers would be great) learning PHP learning MySQL learning AMFPHP [...

As my eyes glaze over… Some Community Input Please?

31 Jan 04:05
I have been pluggin’ away at my pet project for a while now. Learned a little here about PHP5, a little there about MySQL and a quite a bit over yonder about AMFPHP. Up until now, I was doing all of my PHP/MySQL communication by hand. Manually coding queries in PHP is rather intense [...
