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...
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!
It's an interesting thing to see how Google is working on its Chrome OS, in an OpenSource fashion, letting everyone know where they are going and how all this will/may look like. As a UI nerd I find it absolutely lovely to be able to sneak a peek at what's coming next, and have techy details on it, such as hexadecimal values and gradient stops...
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...
So the other day I had an hour to waste, I decided to learn how to use MooTools classes and, as the best way to learn something is to play with it, I played with it.
About 30 minutes after, I had something running. Dirty and buggy but still, looking cool. It took me an extra 30 minutes to clean that up, make sure it was working on most browsers, add the Google Analytics tracker, push it online and add it to the projects page...
You probably guessed it already, I'm talking about the Scroll Clock. Well this hour might be the least wasted one of my life. Think I'm radical? Read on! › Continue reading...
I played with MooTools a bit and did that. Useless, opensource, nerdy.
I also set up a gallery, so if you've got nice scrollbars that aren't here yet, send' em right away!
I was talking about it, here it is!
This class will come in handy every time you work with synchronous SQLite databases in an AIR project. It's a real-world implementation of the Dynam.ize utility I presented earlier... I will show you an example of how to work with it, with simple sub-classes. Let's go! › Continue reading...
Still while working on this app I was talking about earlier I realized I was quite used to working with PHP classes' Magic Methods, and more precisely the way it handles overloading. Those lovely __get, __set and __call methods are called whenever you try to access a property/method that is not explicitly defined, making your class dynamic. Of course you don't need this all the time, and it might even be dangerous, but it some cases that's simply perfect.
You can do that with AS3 if you extend flash.utils.Proxy, cool. But wait, no! Not cool! What if I wanted to extend something else? Nah, let's find something else... › Continue reading...
