I’m really excited about a lot of developments that have been happening over the past few weeks and into the next few months! This has prompted me to resurrect this website and begin posting again. So… just a quick notification that the site will be updated soon with the expectation of regular, informative, and hopefully […]
We’ve been running Flash Media Interactive Server 3 for over two weeks now on one of our media servers and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I was going to put off the upgrade from FMS2 for a few months while testing and waiting on a point release, but after having so many issues

I’m used to setting the ObjectEncoding to AMF0 when working with Flash Media Server 2, but haven’t realized till now that I also am required to do this when communicating with Coldfusion 8 through remoting: import flash.net.NetConnection; import flash.net.ObjectEncoding; NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0; The error “Unknown object type tag (17)” was being generated by CF8 as

Fractured Vision Media is pleased to present A Prison of Oneself, the new collection of recordings from studio recording artist An early morning letter, displaced. The recordings on ‘Prison’ span almost four years of wavering activity and countless personal setbacks. “A Prison of Oneself” is a dense collection of work recorded over the course of

This is probably very obvious to a lot of people… but really the best way to take vacation is to refrain from any work. Just recently getting back from 12 days of Christmas vacation has made me realize this oh-so-startling fact. It’s very difficult for me to actually put everything down for an extended period
I’m really not one for posting random thoughts all over the place- but it is interesting to think over some of my activities while on parental leave one year ago and contrast that with what life is like now- how things stand and where things are going. Work at DU is good. It’s been very

My official title at DU has been changed to Senior Multimedia Application Developer– very nice! This new title is much more reflective of what I do on a day-to-day basis and I’m very pleased with the designation of “senior”- an indicator of my years of experience working in this field. We have been going through
I skipped development on AIR Beta 2 simply because I was too busy doing other things. Now that Beta 3 is out, I’ve begun developing some modules that use such features as local storage and network monitoring. I’m very impressed so far and can see using this on a number of projects. Hopefully, resource consumption
I’m using AIR integration with Flex Builder 3 to contain and package an AS2 SWF which was originally using Screenweaver for deployment to a standalone app. The problem I’ve noticed is that I have two areas into which each are being drawn from another MC using BitmapData.draw() which work just great in Flash CS3 when

CamStudio 2.5 is a screen recording application I’ve been using to author screencasts for the online courses I teach. These types of tutorials are really useful when teaching new users how to go about building things in Flash. It includes the option to output in FLV as well- so that is just perfect. I kind

I’m working on a rather large AS3 project through Fractured Vision Media which relies on the flash.system.fscommand package to properly transmit data from the application to its container layer. Unfortunately, we’ve come across a bug in which FSCommand calls are ignored! Through some quick research (e.g. Google) it was discovered that more than a few

I really, really hope that one of the improvements is a better security model when it comes to RTMP security restriction when accessing byte-level data… PLEASE, Adobe… Allow developers to access RTMP streams via BitmapData.draw() and SoundMixer.computeSpectrum()… please! Features important to my projects include: Improved performance H.264 and AAC streaming support New security features Improved
