The cool thing about user submitted content is that you can't alway predict what you're going to get. Our speakers at the Singularity Web Conference, for example, submit and update their own bios and session descriptions on the site. Yesterday, I noticed that Dr. Woohoo had put up an image of one of his awesome [...]
It’s long been a bug bear that you can’t dynamically change a cube’s materials, so I’ve just committed a simple update that has simply moved Tim Knip’s clever material swapping methods from the DAE object into the DisplayObject3D. So now we can call replaceMaterialsByName on any DisplayObject3D! So you can use it by calling : cube.replaceMaterialByName(new ColorMaterial(0xff0000,1), [...]
Tony Hillerson and I did a presentation on exploring the world of data visualization while at 360|Flex San Jose. We were late getting our stuff together, so the presentation and source code wasn’t on the thumb drive handed out at the conference. Thanks for everyone who showed up, and all great feedback we got. Tony has [...]

It seems that Google Groups has some seriously strict spam filters in place as they're currently blocking urlfetch requests for RSS feeds from Google App Engine applications. This morning, I started what I hoped would be a quick Flash widget to display the latest RSS headlines from our new Singularity Local Conference Hubs Google Group on [...]

From time to time I’m amazed by how JavaScript is capable these days. Here are 10 libraries to make your images look better and stand out. With the good JavaScript support from Adobe AIR, they might same you some coding for images heavy AIR applications. I’m just wondering if there are a Flex library just [...]
Until recently, I had no idea about this cool workshop that taught Adobe AIR. The on AIR European tour was an eleven city train tour through Europe where people could learn how to bring their web applications to the desktop using Adobe AIR. It was a hands-on experience for registered participants to learn this RIA [...]
This morning the folks over at AOL, and more specifically the AIM team, launched version 7 of AIM Express. And guess what, it is built using Flash! It really is a great experience and a quality example of the power of ActionScript 3. What is most interesting to me though is not the client, but the [...]
Though many of you may have seen this already, I would be remiss in not showing the rest of the readers here this amazing new interface concept from Adaptive Path and The Mozilla Labs. Aurora (Part 1) from Adaptive Path on Vimeo. This video was released a couple of weeks ago and represents some key concepts that [...]
Today I needed to found a way to create bitmap data object from a display object. I found a solution in Flex Cookbook (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/communityengine/index.cfm?event=showdetails&productId=2&postId=1682) and having this I improved it and made it simpler. The code follows… public function makeBitmap(myDO:DisplayObject):BitmapData { var myBD:BitmapData = new BitmapData(myDO.width, myDO.height); myBD.draw(myDO); [...]
Arrived in San Francisco around 1pm. Just before we landed I was looking over some conference logistics stuff I’d printed out, and the guy sitting beside me asked if I was going to FlashForward. Turns out he was too. So we shared a cab back to the Fairmont. Got checked in and took another cab [...]

Seeing that FlexBuilder Alpha 4 still didn't have refactoring I had to search once again for solution with FDT on Linux. And well, seems that a solution for my problem has been out there for months!

I managed to register it without problems, but when I was creating a class I had this:

package com {nullimport flash.display.Sprite;/**null * @author eclipse_testnull */nullpublic class Viewer extends Sprite {nullpublic function Viewer(){null}}null}null

Maxim Zaks posted the solution here.

you can check this by going to Menu: "Window/Preferences/General/Workspace" and than in the "New text file line delimiter" Panel change from "Default" to "Other: Unix"

Big Pheeew!!!! Having to swap between FDT and FlexBuilder in some projects were driving me nuts... this really looks like the final "Bye bye Windows!".
