The Flash Builder 4 and Flash Catalyst Betas Are Out!!
So I was going to write a great long blog post about how the Flash Catalyst and Flash Builder 4 betas are out… and resources you can use get started… But Ryan Stewart and Serge Jespers have both written amazing posts already. So all of you should do as I’m doing, and go download the betas and start finding bugs!!
I do give huge props to Adobe for releasing both of these betas in “June” as they said they would. To be quite honest, it’s still technically May here in Seattle. Great work Adobe, another job well done. *slow clap*
:: UPDATE ::
Also, major props to the Flex SDK team for getting the beta out even with all of the Fx prefix madness that has been going on.
:: UPDATE 2 ::
Adobe Developer Connection has posted a list of informational links about Flash Builder 4, Flex 4 SDK and Flash Catalyst. Check it out!

Tip of the Day – Updating to Flash Builder 4.0.1
about 1 year ago - 3 comments
I recently posted about Building AIR 2 applications with Flash Builder 4. There is now an update for Flash Builder 4 which downloads and installs the Adobe Flex 4.1 SDK. According to Renaun Erickson’s post, Flex 4.1 includes Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2.0. Now, if you’re like me and loathe the Adobe Updater… then

So if you haven’t seen my fun badge there on the right side of my blog… —> I will be speaking at 360|Flex San Jose. If you haven’t attended a 360|Flex conference before, you really should. In my opinion, 360|Flex is the best conference out there for Flex developers. It’s put on by developers for
Developing games with PushButton Engine – Part 1 – Using Flex and Flash Builder
about 2 years ago - 2 comments
So I know I haven’t posted in quite some time. Between work, BugQuash, MAX, contributing to PushButton Engine, my country’s 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it, I’ve been swamped. But tonight… I break my blog silence. As I just mentioned, I’ve been contributing
Tip of the Day – How to create a prompt field on your mx:ComboBox
about 2 years ago - 2 comments
For a long time I’ve been doing things like this within Flex. [Bindable] private var _skills:Array = [ {label: "—", id: -1}, {label: "1 – Newbie", id: 1}, {label: "2 – Some Experience", id: 2}, {label: "3 – Expert", id: 3}, {label: "4 – I’m a baller", id: 4} ]; And then binding this data

Today’s tip is a short one… I have begun planning a very exciting Flex-centric event that is going to be held up here in Seattle. More on that later though. Your tip for the day… The Flex SDK team has a guide that explains the coding conventions that they use within the SDK (for the
Tip of the Day – Understanding the Flex bug system (JIRA)
about 3 years ago - 1 comment
Today a bug that I have been watching was resolved as ‘Not a Bug’. In the QA team’s defense, the original bug description was not very clear. I have commented on the bug explaining why it needed to be reopened. This situation brings up a valid question. How do we (the Flex community) effectively help
Tip of the Day – Using interactive assets from Flash in Flex
about 3 years ago - 10 comments
So for the most part… up to this point I haven’t really needed to use extensive Flash animations within Flex. I mean like most people, I’ve embedded swf assets into my Flex application by using the [Embed] metadata tag. However, using the Embed metadata tag, in my opinion, is for static assets or simple animations… you know… images, animation only swfs, fonts, etc…
Today I found a cool button that I wanted to use in my Flex application.

Tip of the Day – When to use include
about 3 years ago - 2 comments
A little while ago I posed the following question to the flexcoders mailing list, I just wanted to ping everyone and get their opinion on something. Why would anyone ever want to use the include directive? I’ve recently been working on poorly designed project where at the top of every module there is an “include

Today I was going to post about using flashvars and widget development. However, as I started to document the process, it became too much information for a single tip. So I’m going to do a separate post walking you through my widget development process. Now on to today’s tip! To be honest with you guys,
