  • What economic crisis? Surely not for RIA developers!

    To say I’ve been busy is an understatement. Where to start? They tell me there’s an economic meltdown going on. My question is, where? If you’re an RIA developer, especially a Flex developer, I can’t imagine you’re having a tough time finding gigs. Unless there’s just so many of us now that there’s actually competition?…

  • SWF file format becomes SEO friendly

    Just read on the Washington Post that Adobe is working with Google and Yahoo to make SWFs readable/visible to search engines. Completely awesome news! That’s been a major draw back for other Flash/Flex developers for years, that the search engines can’t read content inside a swf . The article states that this is a first…

  • Flash Player too slow for iPhone?

    Or the iPhone is just another piece of O’Crapple. O’Crapple, my word for over priced crap from Apple. According to Information Week, Steve Jobs was quoted as saying that the Flash Player for the desktop performs too slow to be useful on the iPhone and that the mobile version of Flash is not capable of…

  • Up and Running on MXNA

    Another voice for Adobe Flex and RIA Technologies Thank you thank you! It’s good to be here. I finally got the cooler blog aggregated on MXNA. It’s been a bit slow trying to get listed, probably due to the holiday season but I’m here at last. For those who don’t know, I’m the same guy…

  • What would you like to see in Attest 2.0?

    I’ve had some very cool feedback on Attest 1.0, and got some great ideas from other developers on how to improve on Attest 2.0 for the Adobe Flex 3 Developer Certification Exam when that comes along eventually. I’m compiling a list of features that I personally would like to see, but if you’ve used Attest…

  • Center Registration Point – Another Recipe for the Flex CookBook

    Here’s a little recipe for scaling an image from a center registration point. Flash always allowed you to bounce the registration point wherever you wanted, but Flex expects it on the top left. If you want to resize an image from the center evenly, with a horizontal slider for example, you’ll like this one. First…

  • Programmatic Button Skins in Flex 3

    The Flex CookBook recipe call prompted me to pull together some more generic, but useful code samples, so I figured I’d post them here and keep my fingers crossed that a recipe or two slip into the book unnoticed 🙂 I’ll explain a little recipe I use for programmatic skinning on buttons in particular on…

  • Adobe AIR Beta 3 – descriptor file porting

    I ported AirSpace today from AIR Beta 2 to Beta 3 and overall it wasn’t that bad. Heh! First off, I originally used Rich Tretola’s UpdateManager class for AirSpace’s updates before, and it looks like he updated his entry for Beta 3 already. Wish I knew this before I upgraded mine 😛 Oh well, it’s…

  • An Update on Flex Hourly Rates, and then some

    Sean the Flash Guy posted a few days ago about the charts on HotGigs.com showing currently hourly rates for Flex Developers. When he posted it originally, the rates were between $60-80 in just a matter of a few days however, the rates went through the roof 🙂 I’m thinking some peeps jumped on there and…
