Flash Builder 4.7 – useFlashSDK

[okay… not really – the new compiler is just really picky] This is another rant – but like most of my rants… there is useful information to be had! This one came about as I needed to employ some UI assets created in Flash Professional and published as a SWC for use in an AS3 …

flashservices/gateway and ColdFusion 10

Hey! A post on ColdFusion! (I’m so pissed at you, ColdFusion…) So it appears that Adobe changed /flashservices/gateway* = cfusion to /flashservices/gateway/* = cfusion in uriworkermap.properties for ColdFusion 10.

Web Host Transfer Complete

Yesterday, I became so absolutely fed-up with the hosting provider I’ve had since 2002, PowWeb, that I decided to pack up and switch over to BlueHost. After a year of lousy customer service and even worse actual hosting services, it was time to call it quits. I still have some client sites with them, and …
