In this article I’m going to show how to consume a Web service and some of the pros and cons of it. When you’re done reading you should have an understanding of what data binding is, how to use it in your applications, and how to achieve similar results without using it. Unfortunately for some, Flash Professional is required to follow along with the examples. If you haven’t upgraded Flash to the Professional version yet, taking advantage of the Web service integration and data binding might just be a good enough reason to.

Richard Lord (the creator of the Flint particle system in case you didn’t know) made a post about why he doesn’t use the convention to prefix interface names with an I in Flint. This convention is something I’ve thought about myself also, to the point that I’ve stopped using the I-prefix in my own coding and then started using it again. I stopped using it because I came across some instances where the interface name would have been really confusing if I’d use it.

So Ted Patrick opened up a can-o-worms with a post entitled “The Future of the Flash Platform”: http://onflash.org/ted/2009/08/future-of-flash-platform.php It sparked a little bit of an uproar from some hard-core developers (mad respect, you crazy cats!) – definitely worth a read (including all the commentary): http://blog.joa-ebert.com/2009/08/06/this-is-an-outrage/ http://ncannasse.fr/blog/the_failure_of_as3 http://blog.andre-michelle.com/2009/as3-failure/ I’d recommend saving the expedition for a lazy-Sunday.

A few things I have in mind for the components: – A tick property on the sliders. Currently, you can set the label precision which is ok, but it doesn’t affect the resulting value of the component. So you might see 2.1, but the value you get is 2.13459834. – Integrating the new VBox and HBox to Panels and Windows. I imagine they would have a property something like “layout”, which could be vertical, horizontal, or free. Perhaps default to vertical. – A scroll bar.

by Andrew Whiteman Adobe Flash ActionScript 3 has dramatically altered and improved the way in which visual elements are added to a project. In fact, in ActionScript 2, visual elements were not even recognized as all belonging to the same group: different syntax was required to handle each different type of visual element. ActionScript 3 rationalises the whole business of maniuplating visual assets by introducing a new, very flexible and very powerful concept: the display list.

Long overdue, a couple of simple layout containers. HBox and VBox. You just create them, add components to them and they lay out the components vertically or horizontally. You can adjust the spacing. I had to go in and do a bunch of tweaks to other components to get their widths showing up correctly upon instantiation. So you might notice some changes here and there. Mostly in the checkbox, radio button, and indicator lights. These components had width and height affecting only the graphic, not the label.

Intro According to the posts from Joa Ebert and Nicolas Cannasse I put my personal opinion on stack. Starting with Flash4 I see the long run of Actionscript for 10 years. It became truly a serious language since then. Back at the time, where no type-safe programming was possible and Actionscript errors were caught silently by the virtual machine, it was a pain in the ass to debug and create bigger projects. I was used to that, so I never complained the situation.

Have been tinkering with the Facebook Developer API for over two days to manage to include the Crossword Fun game to their Application Directory. Then, it was necessary to wait for another two days for their system to be updated. I mean, that a simple cron job that should run once a day, needs a whole lot more. Four days in total… Now, that is a lot of wasted time for such a simple task! I must say that Facebook developers’ experience with the API is as frustrating as Facebook end-users’ experience is (I never liked Facebook as a user, I find it unfriendly to say the least).

As of this writing, the Flex team does not know of any scenario that pins a module in memory forever assuming the developer has cleaned up all references. If you have a module that does not unload, the steps to diagnose the problem are:1) Make sure the module is being loaded into a child applicationDomain (use default parameters for the load() method in most cases) 2) Use the profiler to make sure there are no references to objects in the module. The most common causes of leaks are:a. Styles.

Tagged with: LanguagesManyPeopleProgrammingWhy are there so many programming languages at use? why does actionscript exist for example (for flash)? why can’t flash simply use Java? Wouldn’t it be a much better idea, since then everyone would be able to use everyone’s code, instead of only the code that is coincidentely made in the same language? Isn’t it possible to expand programming languages instead of make a new one?Tagged with: LanguagesManyPeopleProgramming

We heard preloading almost every time! But do you really understand what is preloading and how does preloading actually work? In this article, we will talk about preloading and how it should and can be use. What is Preloading Most of us will know but there are many that are unclear. Preloading is an action that will load components which are not visible available to the users. This means that any component that are already in the HTML document will be loaded and preloading doesn’t help speeding up these components.

It wasn’t until half-way through my journalism degree that I realized I wasn’t going to be a traditional reporter. I wasn’t even going to be a multimedia reporter. I was going to be a programmer/journalist. Putting a slash in your title makes you more important. I haven’t been able to track down the first use of the phrase, but the earliest reference I could find using a Google News timeline search was in a 2006 interview with Adrian Holovaty , creator of Chicagocrime.org and EveryBlock .

(A comment gone long, I decided to turn this into its own post) The reality, though, is that we all do polyglot programming all the time. We use command line scripting languages to simplify our lives, and build languages to manage repetitious build processes. In the sphere of web development, we’re regularly working with regular expressions, JavaScript, and declarative languages like XML, CSS, and SQL (or its derivative, HQL).

If you want to set a maximum number of selected items in an ActionScript TileList component, there isn’t any straightforward way to do it built in. Strangely. First, catch the itemClick event in your tile list. Then in checkMax, the basic idea is to compare the current count of selected items; if its too long, unselect the most recently selected item. In this example I wanted to limit it to a max of 20 selected items.
