I’ve just finished importing my blog from medical school into my wordpress blog. It was weird reading that some 5 years.
I have to find the sql file from my other blog from during residency- I had emailed it to myself years ago because that seemed like a good idea at the time. I still need [...]

Using Collection Properties in Custom Components
March 31st, 2006 · No Comments
There are almost no docs on the web about using the Collections Property feature in Flash 8 Component building.
I’ve come across a couple of tutorials on it so I’m listing them here so I don’t have to Google for 20 minutes every time I need to do this.

Quick Dynamic Component generation
March 29th, 2006 · No Comments
This one’s pretty basic. I was messing with the ColorChooser and decided to toy
around with the dynamic component generation by adding components to two VBox containers already on the stage.

Why I love Flash Video
March 29th, 2006 · No Comments
I sometimes take the benefits of Flash Video for granted. Until I get this
My mother also called me to let me know that it will take her about 3 hours to download the installer on her dial-up connection. Guess she won’t get to enjoy her grandson’s video until I convert it to FLV. [...]

Pixel 3D example in Flex
March 25th, 2006 · No Comments
I was loving This pixel3D effect in Flex but I went to the link today and it was not working. There have been a lot of changes to the Actionscript API in Flex and this probably is braking a lot of the alpha and beta 1 experiments out there. At tleast we [...]

Wrapping my Head Around Event Bubbling
March 25th, 2006 · No Comments
I’ve learned that when I feel lioke my head is about to explode when I’m reading about something in some code it’s because I haven’t reached the point in my programming career yet to absorb and make use of the tool. This has been the case with Event Bubbling. The first three or four [...]

Either way I wanted to post and example because I’m very much a learner through parallel paths (Abstraction –sorry couldn’t resist the pun) so when I understand something in one language it [...]

March 24th, 2006 · No Comments
I came across an excellent article while searching for Eclipse shortcut tutorials. It’s geared toward Java developers but still useful in an ActionScript context.

Mike potter has posted a third blog entry about Flex and PHP integration. This one focuses on using AMFPHP
