  • MVC (Model-View-Controller) introduction simplified

    It recently came to my attention that while working alone I have lost a bit of the ability to explain programming patterns. It’s not that I’ve forgotten about them, as I use variations of them in everyday work, but I’ve just lost touch with the ability to easily explain the workings of them. So what […]

  • See the code Flex generates for you

    A fascinating way of seeing all the code that the mxmlc compiler generates from your flex apps is to set a compiler flag for your project. -keep This takes all the generated code from your mxml files and places it in a “generated” folder in your src folder.

  • Spiraling through a matrix

  • FireBugLogger class update

    So a while ago I wrote a class that I called FireBugLogger that uses the console.debug as well as the rest of the FireBug method calls. Today I came across a great way to help the other developers that may be implementing your flash on the html side. Though you’ll have to call the debug […]

  • Facebook API

    So I’m still unsure about the SendLiveMessage, but I believe it will only work for users that have accepted the application on their facebook account. On another note, the one thing that’s bugging me about the facebook actionscript api is the inability to login seamlessly. But I think I’ve figured out a way to get […]

  • Facebook chat update

    [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.

  • Facebook Chat Api

    Previously, I posted about facebook and adobe working together to create a library in actionscript. The unfortunate thing seems to be the lack of support for the facebook chat app. But going into the facebook website and looking at the net activity reveals somthing interesting that I may be able to build upon.
