YouTube moves to the small screen First off its a little confusing because it says, Users who subscribe to Verizon’s Vcast service will be able to view content on the YouTube website via their mobiles. and then states this, The new deal will mean [...]

In the days of Flex 2 beta there were some mx.automation.* classes that was the start of integrating Flex 2 with Mercury Quick Test Professional (QTP). These classes where pulled out of the Flex 2 release. At MAX I attended Alistair McLeod‘s presentation on “Increasing Efficiency and Quality with Flex Automation” and found out that [...]
You can close a project in Eclipse which keeps a reference to the project but does not load the project. This keeps the Flex Builder memory usage and build times down a little if you are working in a lot of projects at one time. From the Flex Builder help docs: Closing and opening projects [...]
The ability to repeat an image across the X or Y axis is not straight forward in Flex/Flash.is not built into the Flex Framework. This Flex component extends SWFLoader and provides two properties “repeatX” and “repeatY”, which both control which axis to repeat the image is repeated on. The underlying code uses the BitmapFill class [...]
Christophe Coenraets did a Flex and IFrame example a while back. His code was before Flex 2 was release and it was never updated. I have updated the code, in connection with my last post about Flex Search mashup. Here is the original post/code: http://coenraets.com/viewarticle.jsp?articleId=95 You can find the newer IFrame at http://renaun.com/flex2/posts/flexsearch/index.html I had [...]

He created a basic application on top of the remoting API. The Flex Search API has the following current features: Search Flexcoders, FlexComponents, Flex Dev Center, Flex Documentation, [...]
Another small fix for the AdvancedForm component. This time it has to do with the initial snapshot the AdvacnedForm component makes. I originally was making this on the childrenCreated() method of the component but this doesn’t take into the account when children of the Form are created. Thanks again to Dustin for pointing out the [...]
So what is this post all about. Well its about how to view the whole execution stack line by line when creating a Panel object. I have been learning about the Debugger in Flex Builder 2 and had a strange thought while stepping through a bug I was trying to fix. That thought was caused [...]
Now I am from Vegas and have seen the MGM Grand web site for a while now. I believe its one of the greatest examples of Flash Video, Flash, and HTML. The experience and the navigation all comes together really nicely. Edge newsletter “The edge of Flash” Here is the site it self MGM Grand
There was a little bug that affected the AdvancedForm’s isValid property for a certain condition. Thanks to Dustin for finding the bug. I have updated the component to fix the bug. The situation arose when you reset a form after the isValid = true, the reset changes isValid to false but then would set isValid [...]
