Ten tips for building better Adobe AIR applications > Tutorials Now that we have just launched AIR 2, I figured it would be a good time to look back at all the AIR code I've written over the last few months and pick out some of the best snippets and concepts to share with the community. This article describes ten techniques I've used to improve performance, usability, and security of AIR applications, and to make the development process faster and easier.

Updated ‘Elastic Racetrack’ for Flash 9 and AVM2 « Craftymind In 2005 Ted Patrick posted a great article on the frame execution model inside the Flash Player that he dubbed the ‘elastic racetrack‘. It’s served as a great reference for me over the years to help understand how code execution and rendering were balanced within the processing of a frame. Since the introduction of Flash Player 9 and the new AVM2, I’ve noticed a few changes to the elastic racetrack model and thought I’d share them. 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.

Flex Performance Re-Hash: The Elastic Racetrack I believe that the "elastic racetrack" was coined by Ted Patrick of Adobe evangelism fame... and it does a fine job as a visual aid in explaining Flex application performance. So... here is a quick review of the elastic racetrack and how to get your Flex/AIR ponies running faster. By the way - this post is a summary of many great articles, materials, presentations I've collected.

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.

Garbage Collection with Flex and Adobe Air I finally found some spare time to organize the stuff presented at flexcamp and make it a blog post. I “argue” with the Flex profiler almost daily and we had an “intense” relationship the month right before the flexcamp. So I felt a talk about profiling and Garbage Collection (GC) was really fit. Right, it is impossible to decouple profiling from GC.
