  flex 3 / air launch

  02.25.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Flex 3 and AIR are officially launched today.
  Robert Scoble has posted video from the launch. The implications of the release of AIR, a cross-platform runtime for deployment of desktop apps using web development technologies (Flex/ActionScript, HTML, ECMAScript) is much more significant than the latest Flex release, nice though its features undoubtedly are.
  Hank Williams overstates the [...]

  air experiments

  I’m experimenting with AIR development … native drag and drop is really quite painless!
  Thanks to Raghu for the little tutorial. The APIs for Flex 3 are changing between each beta release, so it’s good someone’s staying on top of it and saving the rest of us some pain :)
  The app I’m writing should be [...]

  intellij + flex

  Version 7.0.3 of the IntelliJ IDE will have Flex support!
  Gosh. IntelliJ is head and shoulders above Eclipse, the platform Flex Builder is based on. I’ll definitely be checking it out. This will probably be scary stuff for Adobe. One consolation is that there’s no visual editor with IntelliJ.

  Its purpose is to automate the tedious tasks involved in setting up new projects, building test suites, even installing essentials like [...]

  A few days ago I went to the Sydney installment of the Adobe AIR / Flex 3 pre-release tour, where Daniel Dura, Adobe’s “Platform Evangelist” (which apparently doesn’t mean a born again new romantic, it means someone who spreads the word about the Adobe platform, which means, I guess, the Flash Player and related development [...]

  cover flow friends - facebook app

  01.11.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  I’m working on a pointless little Facebook app (another one - just what the world needs!) that displays the user’s friends in a similar style to iTunes Cover Flow (inspired by the Blitz Agency app).
  Here’s what it looks like so far:

  Right now I’m working with the small FacebookUser.pic_square attribute, which is why things look pixelated. [...]

  395th reason why adobe sucks

  01.09.08 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  Here’s a question. Why do the terms “Adobe” and “fellatio” go so well together?
  They really do suck, gargle and swallow. How dare they remove essential functionality from the CS3 release of Flash, such as the rpc package. I was trying to get the AS3 Facebook API to work, then realised it will only compile in [...]

  Adobe’s Apollo is available for download (alpha version). Very exciting. Have a look at the examples, and a standalone client (look ma, no browser) that eBay is currently working on using Apollo.
