Today, Google hosted an “Android Press Gathering” where they revealed the detailed of the Google “Nexus One” phone. Shortly thereafter, Adobe posted the following video demonstration of Flash Player 10.1 running on the forthcoming Android 2.1 (coming soon for Nexus One, Droid, so forth): Looks like it’s running very nicely on the device! I’ve been

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to speak to a media distribution vendor who posed the question “Does your University have a mobile strategy?” Absolutely we do- at least my group of developers does. We’ve had the same strategy for a number of years now and that strategy is to hold and observe. This

Following the AIR 2 and Flash Player 10.1 betas last month, comes updates for the current platform runtimes in the form of AIR 1.5.3 and Flash Player 10.0.42. Most important to my work is the Publisher ID changes in AIR. I’ve have the need to migrate certificates before, so have paid close attention to the

Screw Internet Explorer! This is one of the many reasons I prefer to avoid having a browser render anything at all for me. Can’t trust it! Better to just take care of these things before it even hits the browser: Java JSP example String embedCode1 = item.getEmbedCode(); String expression1 = “>

Every once in a while, Flash Builder loses its mind when I attempt to debug a project and tells me that I don’t have a debug version of Flash Player on my machine. I do… FB is just crazy. Right. Sometimes it’s looking at the player running in the browser, in which case I just

I actually forgot to apply the “smoothing” property to a flash.display.Bitmap display object being scaled inside Flash Player. Just look at the difference such an oversight made! Since I was using a flash.display.Loader display object to load the image up, and Loader has no smoothing property, I totally spaced on this and it’s been out

I have such terrible luck with Runtime Armatures in Flash CS4. It’s really not funny anymore. Most recently stumbled across the following compilation error (fatal warning?) when working with the “New Flash Component” feature of Flash Builder 4: Warning: 5002: The main timeline’s frame scripts have been ignored because a compiled clip contains a definition

Here’s some personal history- this probably colors my opinion a great deal. I first started messing around with “Flash” using Macromedia Flash 4 producing really awful animations and got into it full swing with version 5. With the advent of ActionScript as a language, I began working on lots of interactive materials and a bunch

The obvious reason being that Flash is the overarching platform with many tools, IDEs, runtimes, et cetera and Flex is a framework used to produce Flash content. Flex Builder has always produced Flash (NOT FLEX) and I’ve encountered many people who just never could grasp this fact. This will help clarify things for so many

For some time now, I’ve been using Google Analytics for various personal websites including this weblog. Recently though, we’ve begun using it at my place of employment and have received a request to track user generated events from a live Flash Media Server stream. After poking around a bit and coming upon numerous dead ends,
