So the recent site I worked on is on Adobe’s site of the day. W00t.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/showcase/index.cfm
And finally someone said stuff about my map! Sheesh. lol.
The only thing I’m not liking is the shameless plugs they try to do. They say the site was created in flash(!?!) and dreamWeaver? Who even touches dreamweaver these days for a [...]

So keeping in the topic from my previous post of low overhead flash apps, I decided to talk a little bit about runtime shared libraries.
So what are Runtime Shared Libraries?
These are libraries that are used just like you normally use your libraries in Flex 3 but instead of storing them within the swf, during runtime [...]

So Last week I did a presentation on the adobe xmlsyndication package and the use of css within an as3 environment sans mxml at the flashcodersny meeting. I think all in all it turned out pretty good but there were a few issues I noticed.
The first being the dependancy on the adobe corelib package and [...]

I was trying to determine a way to sort an array without all the for loops and that sort of business when I ran across this post
Granted it’s a little specific to what you want to sort but I’m sure with a little change you could sort based on the function call maybe. I implemented [...]

I was reading back to some of my blogs and noticed I forgot to look into embedding swf files into pdf documents.
Here is a link to a tutorial for it.

I decided to tweak the class a bit more so I figured I’d throw it up here.

Ok, so all in all today wasn’t a bust. I think I walked away from each session with at least a couple new things to ponder about. Not so bad.
ReflexUtil was one of those things. Looks to be a great debug utility. Check it out yourself.

FireBug, for those that don’t know about it, is a great little tool for debugging your apps online.
One of the many things you can do is use it as a logger. This is excellent for flash development debugging on the server as you can easliy utilize the console.log, console.debug, console.error, console.warn, and console.info. The following [...]

So a little update with the video project. I’ve got things importing into the Sliver clips and tweening open yada yada.
Mostly all of the tweaks are externalized, i.e. the reavling time, duration, text x and y on the clip, but the most fascinating thing was what I just discovered.
I was aware of being able to [...]
I've lived in New York for about four years now and before that lived in Detroit where I started my career at Raytheon developing E-Learning solutions. Once I moved to NYC I started with Starwood Hotels and Resorts working initially on Flash for the television and moving to the web dev team after that. I love anything that's random in terms of coding and am constantly thinking about how best to recreate the seemingly randomness of nature. When not having my face stuck in a computer monitor I try to give as much back to the community as possible by donating time to New York Cares taking kids from Queens to various fun and educational activities. I also dig cooking, good beer, and am addicted to TED.
