Code moi un mouton. A Better Custom Air Install Badge + Google Analytics. First of all we need a better AIR Install Badge, because the AIR SDK has evolved, some things are deprecated now, like pubID – but still need it in order to make the badge work correctly (currently if you don’t specify an publisherID, you’re asked to install the application although is installed).
Furthermore it seems that it doesn’t work 100% (many cases when after pressing the button several times the download isn’t triggered or errors occur) and thus had to offer a direct download version. After the previous customization of the badge using the templates and instructions on Adobe DevNet which seemed quite heavy, there were also too many dependencies to elements of fla (hiding them with alpha been dirty), hard to debug and not so custom (just an image and text, some colors to change). So I started to create a better badge. First time I tried to apply a concept of OOP, inheritance, and created the CustomAIRInstallBadge subclass of AIRInstallBadge. Tracking Downloads with Google Analytics. Authoring mobile Flash content for multiple screen sizes. As the Flash Platform continues to proliferate and reach more devices, developers need to adopt techniques for authoring with multiple screen sizes and resolutions in mind.
This article discusses several techniques to help Flash developers author content that will render properly on any device, regardless of its screen resolution and pixel density. The techniques explored in this article are somewhat "low-level" in that they show the programmatic creation of vectors and the use of algorithms (albeit simple ones) to dynamically size and position assets. There will always be a need for this level of authoring control for some applications, but there will also be "higher-level" and simpler alternatives in the future. Adobe is currently working on a mobile Flex framework (codenamed "Slider"), which will automatically apply some of what's discussed here, and will make it much easier for you to write applications that adapt to different screens. Stage scale mode and alignment Thinking in pixels. Peter deHaan. New Adobe ColdFusion blog — I started another new blog (cfexamples.com) the other month, but have been holding off on posting the URL until I got some more content posted.
So far just a random collection of ColdFusion things that I could remember from my ColdFusion days and some new stuff from ColdFusion 8 and 9. As always, you can follow my sad little Twitter account (@pdehaan) to see the latest aggregated posts from my mini example blog empire (as well as other random tweets).
