RIARadio, GangstaCast, TheFlexShow and Tech News Today…
Jul 21st
Recently I’ve had the opportunity to participate in a few podcasts, and they all seem to have come out this week. Check them out:
GangstaCast Episode 1: Celebrity Stalker Edition
Also, I was thrilled to find out that I was mentioned on TWiT.tv’s Tech News Today for an article I wrote regarding tracking celebrities by scraping exif data from photos uploaded to TwitPic, yfrog, TweetPhoto and TwitGoo. The part when they talk about the article is about 15 minutes into the episode.
Tech News Today 34: Take Off Your Pants, America
So all in all, it’s been a very interesting week.
Tip of the Day – Updating to Flash Builder 4.0.1
Jul 7th
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 you probably turned off the Adobe Updater notifications.
So here’s how to update Flash Builder to version 4.0.1 which includes the 4.1 SDK.
Go to Help > Search for Flash Builder Updates…
This will launch the Adobe Application Manager and then proceed to update your software, including Flash Builder 4.
== UPDATE ==
If you don’t see a Flash Builder update available in Adobe Application Manager, you can download the standalone updater from Adobe.
Once the update is completed you can see Flash Builder is now at version 4.0.1.
And you now have the option for Flex 4.1 as an installed Flex SDK. You can use Flex 4.1 to develop against Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2.0.
