Kyle’s Pile » Parsing Google Calendar XML in Flash CS3 AS3 Honestly, when I first attempted to parse and access Google Calendar XML from flash I had a lot of trouble with it. I spent a lot of hours being frustrated by XML namespaces (it was the first time I’d had to use them) and consequently had to move to the forums at actionscript.org . I was helped by a guy with the alias “wvxvw” (which is a nice palendrome, lol) so I’d like to extend credit to him for giving me a nudge in the right direction. Anyway, lets get on to the code.
Extreme Programming Rules Planning User stories are written. Release planning creates the release schedule. Make frequent small releases. A Faster Flex 3 SDK (Deitte.com) At Brightcove I've spent some time creating faster Flex 3 SDKs by merging some changes from the Flex 4 SDK. It's not a lot of changes, but it makes a fairly significant improvement in compilation speeds in Flex Builder. I find for small changes in a large project, there's about a 20%25% speedup, but this varies greatly depending on what you're doing. I'll give some performance numbers below and explain exactly what changed, but first I'll show you how you can use these changes yourself. Using the Changes
How to Load and Interact with an External SWF File in AS3 and Flash One of the most versatile features of Flash is the ability to import swf files into a "containing" Flash movie and the ability for the "containing movie" to interact with the imported swf. We have addressed various aspects of this issue with our previous tutorials, External Clips in Flash CS3, Loading External SWF Files for a Dynamic Presentation, and Loading and Unloading SWF's with 'stage' References in AS3. In the simple example shown below, the external swf (built from the file ext.fla included for download) consists of a 400 by 200 movie that has a global variable called total and a public function called updateBackAndTotal, which takes a single color parameter as an argument. A call to updateBackAndTotal(clr) draws a rectangle with color clr to fill the stage of the external swf and adds as text the value of the total variable.
Create an intelligent XML image Gallery & Slideshow in Flash CS4 In this article you will learn how to build an image gallery that will load images from a web server. I decide to call it “Intelligent” because you don’t need to configure any XML or flash file. Just put the Flash movie and the images on a server and they will be loaded automatically. Nice ah? So, why the XML term in title? Easy, the gallery will work also with a xml if you want to, just change two lines of code and it is working with a XML file. Top 10 Ways to be Screwed by "C" To get on this list, a bug has to be able to cause at least half a day of futile head scratching, and has to be aggravated by the poor design of the "C" language. In the interests of equal time, and to see how the world has progressed in the 20-odd years since "C" escaped from its spawning ground, see my Top 10 Ways to be Screwed by the Java programming language, and for more general ways to waste a lot of time due to bad software, try my Adventures in Hell page. A better language would allow fallible programmers to be more productive. Infallible programmers, of the type unix' and "C" designers anticipated, need read no further. In fairness, I have to admit that the writers of compilers have improved on the situation in recent years, by detecting and warning about potentially bad code in many cases.
3D Card Flips with Tweens in Flash CS4 and Flash CS3 Flash Player 10 supports native 3D methods in ActionScript 3 so flipping images with perspective distortion is much easier in Flash CS4 than in Flash CS3. It has its challenges, though. One of them is the problem of blurring of 3D objects when those 3D methods are used. Web-kreation - 100 + 1 FREE photo/image galleries (AJAX, Flash, This post is an attempt to collect all the major Flash/AJAX/PHP photo galleries in jut one place. Most of them are entirely free of charge. Some, however, have some limitations to their free versions but is should not stop you from trying them. Gallery
Ethiopian multiplication Ethiopian multiplication You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know. A method of multiplying integers using only addition, doubling, and halving. Method: BrowserLab Dear BrowserLab customers, When we originally launched BrowserLab as a free service back in 2009, our customers were struggling with testing their web content across desktop browsers and platforms. Since then with the growth of the importance of mobile devices and tablets, the landscape has changed dramatically. Because of this shift, we have seen the usage of BrowserLab drop over the past year while at the same time our engineering team has been focusing on solving this new challenge with new solutions. Due to this, we will be shutting down the Adobe BrowserLab Service effective immediately.
How to play FLV videos from YouTube using Flash Lite 3 Many Flash developers already know how to play an FLV and to stream it to the browser-based Flash Player. In this article, I will show you how to target the player to play FLV videos from YouTube using Flash Lite 3. The hard part of doing this is around the YouTube website, which "hides" FLV files from downloading. However, the YouTube site can't really hide the position of the file. So what I do with this technique is read from YouTube page, parse the values, and pass the result to the player to stream the file. A few notes about streaming files:
10 sites developers should have in their bookmarks Mysql Format Date MySQL Format Date helps you to format your dates using the MySQL DATE_FORMAT function. Just select a common date format and then change it to your suit your needs. The MySQL DATE_FORMAT code will be generated at the bottom of the page which you can then copy into your query. Edge: June 2009 - A beginner's guide to the Mate framework by Brian Rinaldi For the longest time, Cairngorm seemed to be the only viable lightweight Flex framework. Lately some new Flex frameworks have been growing in popularity. One of the newer frameworks that is gaining ground among bloggers and other Flex developers is Mate. Created by Nahuel Foronda and Laura Arguello of AsFusion, Mate (pronounced mah-teh) is a tag-based, event-driven framework that focuses on giving developers maximum flexibility. In general, Mate is easy to learn.
