Mixed emotions: SVG versus FXG
Adobe has released a new vector graphics specification for Flex called FXG, but some feel they should have kept with the standard SVG spec and extended it, instead of muddying the water.
Gang of Four (GOF) Design Patterns in ActionScript-Strategy
Today, we’re going to talk about the design patterns in ActionScript. You may be familiar with those patterns if you’re familiar with OO(object oriented). But I won’t suppose you have much knowledge about it, all you need to know is just some basic OO principles, such as encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism.
Tutorial: Ant Build inside Flex Builder 3
Use Ant inside Flex Builder 3. This step-by-step tutorial demonstrates on how Ant can be used to compile the flex applications within the Flex builder 3.
Silverlight vs Flash: Switching to Full Screen
It’s not difficult to make a full screen application. But the sample below can save you a lot of time to look around a reference from the Internet.
5 Things to Do When You’re Stuck Developing Your Game
We’ve all had those moments, when you have no inspiration for creating another game, or when you don’t know what to do next in your current project. To writers, it’s known as “writer’s block”. To us, it’s just an inspirational slump. Here are some techniques to overcoming this block of inspiration.
FlexChart: Flash Charting Application for AJAX
FlexChart is an open source Flash application built for uses in AJAX applications. The charting application is driven through dynamically through XML.
Flash vs Silverlight: Spiral Text
The application is implemented based on 3D Text Space. You will notice that the number of characters displayed in the Silverlight version is much less than that in Flash. It’s because Text Rendering in Silverlight is CPU intensive and too many TextBlock objects will make the application crash.
I think there are some other ways to increase the performance of using TextBlock in Silverlight. However, I didn’t have any idea yet. If you have have any suggestions, please feel free to share with me.
No Block Scope in ActionScript
One of the things that I most liked about ActionScript when I first began to use it was how easy it was to pick up after using Java for several years. I have blogged about some of the similarities Java and ActionScript share, but there are also some differences (such as ActionScript's support for switching on Strings). In this brief blog entry, I will demonstrate one subtle difference in behavior in ActionScript from what I am used to from years of C++ and Java experience.
27 Adobe AIR Applications - Handy For Web Designers
Every designer & developer loves handy tools that simplify frequent tasks.

Game Of Life in 3 Lines of Code
Seeing Jop Wielens' implementation of Conway's Game of Life I wondered if I might be able to figure out a way how to run the whole game entirely with Flash's bitmapData methods. It turns out that it works, and it even works pretty fast. And at its core it just needs 3 lines of code
4 Things To Hate About PureMVC
Previously, I have written about how puremvc takes a stand on patterns of gui architecture while Cairngorm does not. I have also proclaimed to colleagues, that I do not find puremvc especially great, but at the same time find it “good enough”, which is to be understood as: The current contenders are (were?) not any better, and puremvc solves the problem.
The Flex Compiler Shell Daemon
It is a wrapper around Adobe's fcsh, which gives you back the good thing about mxmlc: it's a simple and traditional command line compiler, which compiles your code and returns back an status code telling you if the compilation was successful or not. This may sound old-fashioned in the current shiny-powerful-and-bloated IDE times, but if you are a hardcore IDE person, you aren't interested in mxmlc nor in fcsh anyway.
Flash Vorbis player
The name is: FVorbis. Which stands for more or less “Ogg and Vorbis in Flash”. That’s right, pure ActionScript 3 implementation of the Ogg and Vorbis libraries that require no kind of native support from the Flash Player. A simple Vorbis player implemented using the new FVorbis lib compiles to about 46KB SWF file. And that’s it.
Actionscript value object generator written in java
A java commandline tool which generates strongly typed actionscript bean objects from dtd files.

Felx Builder debugger support has been added to the sources of the Adobe Flex SDK.
