Where I am now…
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 […]

At last
So after attending the recent Flex Camp Wall Street, I noticed I seem to be a little out of the loop in terms of Flex Development. I’ve been developing RIA’s for Starwood, but it’s only been through straight Actionscript 3 in the Eclipse Flex 3 plug-in. So in order to see what I’m missing, I’ve […]
