In the last month or so I’ve been tasked with reviewing a project for performance profiling and just code cleanup in general. It’s been quite a task as I wasn’t familiar with a single part of the code so finding tools to aid in this is uber helpful.
With that in mind, here are a few [...]

Mainly this is just a post to remind myself in later times about this code snippet but basically this will work with any class with accessible variables.
Take an xml node such as
?View Code XML1
<class id="myClass" color="#FF0000" isActive="false"/>
You can use this snippet to parse through those attributes to set all of your variables for you assuming [...]

I’m taking a break from the pattern tutorials for the moment to write the as3 facebook connect integration library I’ve been meaning to write. With that said, here’s a little method I didn’t realize was around to pull properties from classes. Normally the for..in method you can pull properties available within an object, but this [...]

A lot of sites today are very open with their APIs allowing users from other sites to retrieve their data, but sometimes you’ll come across websites that may not have that same open access. When their sites limit the access that other sites can retrieve data from via the crossdomain file it’s frustrating to say [...]

Yesterday I did a presentation on ExternalInterface and it’s uses along with how to inject javascript on the page and a few other tidbits at FlashCodersNY.
Here’s the zip file with the project we went over. Whether you were there or not you should still be able to easily follow along since there’s tons of comments [...]

On my quest to make the facebook actionscript connectivity as easy to work with as possible I needed to be able to reproduce the
?View Code ACTIONSCRIPT1
2
<script src="myExternalLibrary.js">
</script>
call in order for everything to work appropriately.
After some searching I came across a clip of code that worked beautifully

[Quick Update]
I discovered there’s actually a class in the actionscript api called SendLiveMessage. Not sure yet if I can utilize this to listen for updates from facebook but it’s a start.

Ok just first of all, I would like to point out that the method in my previous post was in all actuality not a recursive method. It loops through objects in that class but not the same object consecutive times.. my bad.
On that note. Thanks to Hudson Ansley on the flashcodersny blog for pointing out [...]

So I’ve been working on incarnations of a mapping application over the last year or so and am rather happy with how it’s been growing so far but one thing has come to my attention.
The map pulls in hotel properties and displays them as markers on the map depending on the x and y values [...]

So I have a client who wanted to have mp3’s that the user could listen to and also download. Since I’m very against having to constantly manage a clients content I wanted him to be able to have no problem adding and removing mp3 files. Normally, one might have an xml file that the user [...]
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.
