TOKI WOKI. 

Quick news, good news. Devel­op­ing for the Apple iPhone using Flash is now pos­si­ble, hell! Read more here and there.

Expect me to build stuff with it!

Hop, je viens de payer des nou­veaux habits à Ébruiter (le blog qui parle de musique à ceux qui ont des oreilles) qui ne se plai­sait plus dans son pre­mier ensem­ble… Grid sys­tem, bien sûr. Tou­jours Word­Press, avec un thème mai­son (merci Boks et Greg) et des hacks par-ci par-là.

Et puisque finale­ment j’aime bien le con­cept, je vais essayer de repren­dre l’habitude de poster des trucs. Ça va être super.

Chope le flux, poto !

If I don’t post this track now it’ll be sit­ting in my “work-in-progress” folder for too long. Can’t really decide what it’s worth…

I wanted to try Flex 4 with a “real life” project so I wrote this lit­tle thing. Rough draft.

The app will allow you to mon­i­tor files changes: select a text file and you’ll be prompted when it’s updated. Basic. By the way, did I say “rough draft” before?

Every­thing in it is Open­Source, from the Illus­tra­tor files to the MXML and CSS stuff, so play with it! For those who only want the .air, here it is.

Now, why is it cool?

• Build with the brand new Flex 4 (Gumbo) framework
• Uses a home-brewed Icon­But­ton class, because Gumbo doesn’t pro­vide any
• Uses the new Spark cus­tom skins logic (on But­ton, Scroll­Bar and more…)
• Uses the new states’ logic and transitions
• Based on as3corelib’s File­Mon­i­tor class
• Shows you how to build a multi-instance AIR app
• Con­tains Illustrator/Photoshop UI files

And why is it not that cool?

• Prob­a­bly still buggy, wait for updates!
• Flex 4 is not done yet, so the code might break at any time
• No icons yet
• No or very few comments
• Pretty use­less app!

If you’re try­ing to learn Flex/Flex 4 or won­der­ing what’s new in it and how to use it you should defin­i­tively give it a go…
