Yet another reason why abstraction is so great -- although perhaps it should have been obvious in the first ... http://www.schelterstudios.com/blog/?p=43 While motion tweens really aren't my thing, let alone Flash design in general, I was quite intrigued by the vCam AS3 tool by Brian Heisey. The tool was originally released in 2005 by Sham Bhangal and Dave Dixon, and Brian updated it to function in AS3 with a few additional ... http://www.schelterstudios.com/blog/?p=40 I recently had a project where I had to run some fancy regex and recursion on strings written as excel-style formulas. It was an enjoyable project, as I don't often have the opportunity to use regex or recursion in Flex. However, one of the steps in the process required me ... http://www.schelterstudios.com/blog/?p=39 After having a need for creating hot key shortcuts on multiple different occasions, I decided to break down and create a highly-reusable system that integrates seamlessly into any Flex app. I spent some time and planned out several different use-cases that the system will need to account for.

I'll be doing a bit of an overhaul now that I've become self-employed. Well...hopefully, anyway...I've been finding myself even more busy now than ... http://www.schelterstudios.com/blog/?p=34 This one set me back a little while. I was trying to set up fileReference for uploading images, but the Event.SELECT handler just wouldn't catch anything. As it turned out, both select and cancel buttons in the browser dialog were dispatching Event.CANCEL events. A little research revealed to me ... http://www.schelterstudios.com/blog/?p=33 In this article, I'll be going in-depth on the practice known as code-behind for the Flex environment. This is a very powerful technique that all software architects should be familiar with, as it promotes sophisticated encapsulation techniques to separate the form and function from within a UI element.What Code-Behind Is Code-behind ... http://www.schelterstudios.com/blog/?p=32
