“Flash isn’t necessary” – Apple The avalanche of media outlets offering their content for Apple’s mobile devices demonstrates that Flash is no longer necessary to watch video or consume any kind of web content. And the 200,000 apps on Apple’s App Store proves that Flash isn’t necessary for tens of thousands of developers to [...] I recently ran across an issue that required a Flex LinkButton control to wrap its contents due to design constraints. If it didn’t wrap, it the LinkButton would blow the design once the page rendered. If you ever happen to need a LinkButton with word wrap, here is a tiny component that should serve [...] But not if you look on Theresaneil’s Weblog. This is a great summary of Flex tools and applications sporting modern non-flex design. Here is another website (merhl.com) that features a lot of great Flex designs. Let’s face it. Adobe software has continually defined the term “software bloat” in the same way that Intuit software defines the phrase “nickel and dime you to death”. Take a look at Adobe Reader. This is a piece of software that is supposed to be a tiny sliver that allows anyone to be able [...] I recently added a fade transition to a Flex app and was surprised to find that the Flex elements faded nicely as expected, but the text… the data of the application, failed to fade in or out. Needless to say, this looked quite strange. After a bit of searching I discovered that I needed [...] About a week ago, when I upgraded to Firefox 3 from Firefox 2, Flex Builder debugging completely stopped working without a blip on the Flex Builder radar. Trying to debug an app resulted in nothing out of the ordinary except that no debugging information was displayed. Breakpoints were ignored without a peep. Frustration! I [...] Just found this funny bit of text in the Adobe Flex 3 docs regarding form validation. These 2 paragraphs appear in this exact order in the docs: By using Flex validators, you eliminate the need to transmit data to and receive error messages back from the server, which improves the overall responsiveness of [...] Woohoo! I took my ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Certification Exam this morning and passed at the Advanced level. I’ve only been using ColdFusion for 8 years… about time I got certified. I started studying for the exam a week or so ago and quickly realized that there was a LOT to study. I used [...] Went down to the Marriott Marquis in Times Square today to catch Ben Forta and the Madobe crew’s presentation on Flex. First of all, I must say that Ben appeared quite pleased that Adobe actually has a marketing budget. The amenities and swag was quite nice. I came home with Ben’s large CFMX7 book, [...] Damn you Dreamweaver, damn you. I’ve re-installed Dreamweaver because of one small, but important feature… the ability to “Deploy on Save”. Frickin’ Homesite won’t let you do this. Homesite will let you frickin’ save to your local repository, but you need to frickin’ deploy using a separate action. Pain in the beeeyutt. Therefore I [...] |
