2006 was a crappy year to say the least with regard to health issues. I got sick with what I assumed was just food poisoning in August. However things never seemed to get better and over the course of 4 months I’ve lost 40 pounds. The doctors have run every blood test known to man, [...]

The past 6 months or so, we have been working on a different approach to shopping for Travel. We have created an app (yes its a beta… maybe even closer to an alpha release) that changes the approach to selling a vacation. Rather than say “hey where do you want to go, when do you [...]

Just thought I’d pass this along for those of you (like me) just getting your feet wet with AS3. Devon Wolfgang (aka Devonair as he’s known in the the Flash community) of One by One Design (yes the very same guy that brought us the “Flash MX 2004 Undocumented Tween/Easing Classes Documented” tutorial when nobody knew how [...]

I think I may have found my new favorite Firefox Extension. Alessandro Crugnola (aka Sephiroth – creator of SE|PY) just released an extension for Firefox to let you switch to another version of your Flash plugin or completely disable it all together. The site will reload and display with the new plugin version with no [...]

Well almost all…Most have already heard about the new feature in the Flash 9 preview for AS3 that allows you to specify a document class (a class file for the main timeline), and if you havent heard… well now you have. This is a pretty cool feature and will do wonders for getting nearly all code [...]

I have resisted even commenting on this issue because, quite frankly, Geoff has done a damn fine job of stating anything I would have attempted to say anyway. This conversation is really misdirected I believe. This is the classic case of attacking the messenger because you don’t like the message. So in support of what Geoff [...]

Well my last JSFL attempt, as it turns out, wasn’t such the bright idea I thought it might be when I sat down to build it. As Keith kindly pointed out “a template would be simpler”. So hopefully this one may be a tad more useful. I’ve been doing a lot more development involving a [...]

As I mentioned in a previous post, I was looking for a reason to get off my butt and explore the JSFL library for Extending Flash. So I decided to make a really simple script that could save me a bit of time. Every time I create a new Flash file I always spend the [...]

I would probably consider myself a designer who codes as opposed to a coder who can design. However I find myself more and more lately spending the majority of my time writing code. The attitude I use to have was only code when needed, get it to work and walk away, with no care for [...]

Or at least that appears (in my opinion) to be the thinking behind Robert Scoble’s latest post titled: “Why I don’t use Flash”. Several people have commented about this much more eloquently then I can (see Aral Balkan, and Mike Chambers ) so I’ll make this short. Using Scoble’s theory here that the technology should be to [...]
