Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve last posted!
Just wanted to toss up some code for creating a timer in android. One would think you would just utilize the java.utils.Timer class but that creates a new thread and can create issues with your application. Plus it’s a pain to access stuff from the timer. Android [...]

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 [...]

As I was saying in my previous post, I ran into a little trickiness with circling through the squares in my matrix of squares. Now there may be a better way to do this, and by all means if there is let me know, but here is the best way I figured out how to [...]

I’m in the process of getting to know Papervision 3D more finally. With that I decided to play around with it and music. I created a group of squares and each squares Z axis is controlled by a byteArray set with SoundMixer.computeSpectrum. I run through the byteArray, assigning each square it’s own Z pos based [...]

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 [...]

Currently Adobe is offering flex free for anybody who is unemployed! It’s only to be used with non commercial projects as a means to learn with but that’s just awesome.
For anyone interested, you can pick it up here:

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'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.
