16 Jul 01:27 I wanted to continue to play with a little fun project which I localized for three languages but my compiler showed me the error: unable to open ‘/Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 3 Plug-in/sdks/3.0.2.2113/frameworks/locale/de_DE’ Hmm, this formerly worked so what changed? I changed the SDK to 3.0.2.2113 to upgrade to AIR 1.1 and all framework resources except default en_US [... 30 Jun 19:34 On Friday we had our Flex Usergroup Hamburg meeting in our Adobe office. Our speaker Claus Wahlers gave us a look behind the scenes aka source of FC64 which he developed together with Darron Schall. Claus started with some “basics” about how the C64 works to get an idea about what has to be emulated. [... 18 Jun 19:57 If you are a Flex developer in these days the situation on the job market should be pretty fine. Here a little link collection about this topic: Flex Directory, List of firms focussed on Flex Flex.org Jobs, Blog OSFlash Jobs, Blog Yahoo Group Flex Jobs, Group/Mailinglist Google Group Flex Jobs, Group/Mailinglist GlassDoor, Company Rating, Reviews and Salaries CrunchBase, Company Database The Naugle Group, [... 11 Jun 23:10 The next meeting will take place June 27th.

More (german) details on the flexughh blog. 4 Jun 02:47 A common failure I have made and many others too as I helped a few friends with it is playing local files like Flash Video (FLV) or images like PNG or JPG with AIR. In AIR you have for example the FileSystemTree control which shows you the content of a directory. The selectedItem property of this [... 3 Jun 02:14 I had a look at my 3 year old AMFPHP tutorial and thought about what all changed. ActionScript 2 was replaced by AS3, I moved from Flash to Flex and changed my OS from Windows to OS X. I have developed desktop apps in the past with SWF Studio and now Adobe AIR is the [... 30 May 08:22 Within a Flex application it is a very common thing to show lists of items or domain objects for instance a list of articles, users or whatever. There are many ways to implement this and I would like to share an approach which I call Lazy Model Responder. I am using the Cairngorm microarchitecture where I [... 28 May 03:13 I had the problem that I wanted to show text in a DataGrid column which could be far longer then the available space. It was not important that the text is visible all the time so a custom cellrenderer was not needed and the solution very simple. Just define DataGridColumn like: <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Text" dataField="text" dataTipField="text" showDataTips="true" /> So [... 20 May 20:13 Yesterday we had the second Flex Usergroup meeting which took place in the Interone office in their fabulous meeting room in the 19th floor - nice view! Thanks to Sven Busse for his speak on ANTLR which was pretty interesting. He showed a little stubcodegenerator he implemented with Java and ANTLR. The language grammar is in [... 19 May 19:58 I have build a little AIR app last weekend to try out a few things with the native menu feature of AIR.
