Hey! I'm having a survey, wanna fill it?
I recently started working with Robotlegs on a daily basis and I've never had to write that much custom event classes, so I felt like it was starting to be a little bit boring... That's why I wrote a pretty basic/simple app that does hard part for you!
Simply enter you custom event's class name and package, drop in some constants and properties: you're all set!
Hey! Another free AIR app! This time that ain't no side project I made on my free time for some obscure users, but rather a big thingy for a big company. Namely Fotolia.
I did all of the coding part (ActionScript 3, Flex 4) and Steaw is responsible for the UI and all graphics. › Continue reading...
This is how the Adobe AIR Challenge (that took place in Paris this week-end) looked like: lots of young and fresh folks ready to spend 24 hours building an AIR app.
Pretty happy the 3 apps I supported all made it to the podium and can't wait to play with Digitas' Flickr app! Nice job, fellows.
See pics at Flickr, vids at Vimeo and wait for the apps: they should be out really soon.
The Adobe AIR Challenge will begin tomorrow at 3pm in Paris, I happen to be a part of the jury so I will have to review and judge all of the 15 apps made by the 15 2-member teams.
If you're interested follow the #air24h hashtag on Twitter and watch the event (there will be a live broadcast online)! A Flickr group also has been set up.
Make sure to also download and test the apps where they're done!
Warning: techy post for once; sorry about that regular folks. Looking for something nicer than cryptic bug fixes? Have a look around here!
So here we go: I'm working on a big multi-lingual AIR app within Flash Builder and just received the locale files from my client today (made with Lupo).
Couldn't wait to see what it looked like in Japanese and in all other languages supported (13, to be precise) so I copied the "locale" folder into my project, updated the "Additional compiler arguments" with "-locale de_DE en_GB en_US es_ES fr_FR it_IT ja_JP pl_PL pt_BR pt_PT ru_RU tr_TR zh_CN -allow-source-path-overlap=true -source-path=locale/{locale}" and refreshed the project. Which broke, saying "unable to open '[blablah]\frameworks\locale\en_GB'". › Continue reading...
Meet Dok, my latest and nicest AIR app to this day!
Always looking for help when writing AS3 for Flash, Flex and AIR? Think Adobe's reference is rich but browsing it sucks? Well, I did too. So I wrote this little thingy that loads, parses and caches help pages and then presents them in a slick and quick UI!
WordPress' Shortcode API is a really cool thing, and since I'm working on a Drupal site these days I've been looking for something similar. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything... There are some implementations out there but the ones I found and tested always come pre-bundled with specific tags and don't always provide an extensible and stable logic.
So I made mine!
This post is a techy one, so if you don't write AIR apps or if you think this wouldn't be enough to show off during coffee break I recommend something funnier. › Continue reading...
During the last couple of months I've been working on a free AIR app for a French community-based site called Weecast. Its purpose is to allow users to submit and/or buy screencasts about your favorite apps and languages (mostly Adobe's and Microsoft's, but also 3D ones', OS's and more).
Introducing the Weecast Player!
The app allows you to browse your videos, watch them (4 view modes), search for more, drop comments and stars... I think that's called an RIA, right? There's also an offline mode, so you can access all your stuff anytime. › Continue reading...
Using Google Chrome? Using Meebo? Annoyed by the ad at the bottom and the blog window when you log in?
I just wrote and published my first Chrome Extension - Meebo Cleaner, to clean that up!
Pretty simple code, nothing revolutionary here. Go get it and let me know what you think, or if you have suggestions/ideas...
