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.

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 [...]

So for this project since I need all the text that will show up in the video to be externalized for language conversion, I have to load everything streaming. This will also cut down on loads times tremendously.
My first idea is to make this nice and quick and simple. I’ve got 2 classes that I [...]

I just saw the current speaker embed a swf into a pdf. Interesting concept. I’ll need to look that up later.

Well Microsoft surface had it’s run. It wowed a couple people but now there’s even better and greater potential with the technology Apple gained by purchasing the company that created the screen tech for the iPhone.
Microsoft, you guys had your short lived run but it’s just too difficult to fit your big table box in [...]
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.
