Further to my last post about the current lack of MXNA, I discovered Rojo, an online feed reader that uses the “river of news” format. You can import OPML also. I now have a virtual MXNA, based on the OPML files uploaded by Mike Chambers. It doesn’t have the categorisation or the features, but it [...]
At the time of writing, MXNA is still down. Mike Chambers of Adobe has put the OPML files up, though. I am trying to figure out if there’s a feed aggregator that works in a similar way to MXNA (except that it should actually work, of course) out there, until they get it back on [...]
Reading an article just now in the Observer, I read: “His comments came after yet another leg of the Olympic torch relay was disrupted by anti-China protesters yesterday”.
So people using the occasion of the Olympics to protest against the repression of the Tibetan people are “anti-China”? I have not protested (unfortunately the torch passes through [...]
I have been thinking some more following my earlier post about how good it would be to have a system for creating ActionScript classes from XML Schema, for binding XML data to code.
I thought it might be a good idea to set something of this nature up as web service, or a web application, using [...]
Here is a little example of the 3D graph as per my earlier post, with randomly generated data.
There are some really powerful solutions out there for communication between Flesh apps and the backend nowadays. LiveCycle Data Services, BlazeDS, Red5, GraniteDS, PyAMF, OpenAMF … and of course support for SOAP and JSON … and I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting. When I think about the bad old days of loadVariables(), we’ve come [...]
I’ve been skimming through the Adobe AIR for JavaScript Developers pocket book, and toying with the idea of creating the idea of an HTML/JS based application. Looking at the actual code examples kind of put me off though. JavaScript is so primitive – no classes, no typed variables. I remember the hoops you need to [...]
I do try to refrain from adding to the vast swathes of the blogosphere devoted to the US elections but this:
“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran … In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be [...]
After dealing with the fallout from several developers at varying levels of experience coding with their own ad hoc styles, to deadlines, I want to settle on an AS3 framework to form the basis of future large-scale projects. I considered Cairngorm for a while, but I’m now leaning towards PureMVC for several reasons.
First, the [...]
This is a trivial matter, but it’s been bothering me for some time.
Why does Flex Builder insist on putting the opening curly brace of a function declaration on the next line:
function foo():void
{
.. instead of:
function foo():void {
What is the point of this waste of space, which doesn’t make anything easier to read, but justs wastes space [...]
