How to Overlay the Adobe AIR SDK for Use with the Flex SDK
This information is in the AIR_Android_ReleaseNotes_xxxx.pdf. What I am posting here is just meant to shift to the surface some very valuable information.

HTC Evo
Last week after D-Flex I got home to find a little cardboard box by my door, inside was my brand new Evo. I did have some issues originally using the Evo – I kept trying to swipe everything. So for the first few hours of very little interaction I could barely make a phone call. [...]

Konami Code
One thing I made a while back just for fun was a little hidden code manager. This was originally created for a past 360|Flex presentation I gave as a little bonus for those that came to my presentation.

Revisiting Deep Linking with Flex
A few months *cough *cough over a year ago I posted some thoughts on Deep Linking within a Flex Application.

Thoughts on Spark and Skinning
Recently while talking to other D-Flex developers about the new Spark Architecture and Spark Skinning I’ve been hearing lots of complaints. Without talking about other projects like Reflex and their pros and cons there are many people that seen to have some sort of fundamental issue with Spark Skinning and the Spark Component model. I [...]

Dynamically Resizing Your Flex Application
This post could also be titled: Using the browser scroll bar with a Flex Application. A few years ago I was struggling with getting the Mac Wheel and the PC Wheel to work with a Flex App I had made. So rather than getting both of those inputs to work, I just had the Flex app [...]

Flash Builder File Templates
Don’t like the exact way that files are created in Flash Builder? CHANGE IT! Something new in Flash Builder is the ability to edit the template files used to create you files. This will help customize your development workflow to your personalized style. Making this change is easy. The first thing I did was get rid of [...]

When working with Flash [...]

The Master Flex ANT File
When this is all done and running, listen closely. Somewhere in the distance you can here “I HAVE THE POWER!“. Trust me, it’s being said – or maybe that’s just me. Seriously though, at this point you have one bad-ass ANT build file that will work right into your continuous integration script. Now you can make [...]

Just quickly throwing this out. This week 2 examples of the Netflix AS3 API were added to Tour De Flex. These two examples show off some basic service calls and authentication.

Building ASDocs with ANT
In this running series of creating an ANT script to run your Flex based life I feel like we’ve reached some midway point. We have our application being built off of a Flex Library, building the default Adobe html-wrapper along with our own custom wrapper while keeping the non-embedded assets intact. Now I feel is a [...]

Including Assets Files with ANT
Building off of the last few posts, we are continuing to build our one big ANT file that will build your amazing Enterprise Application. As you are building your application you probably also have a set of assets that aren’t embedded in your final SWF file. Flex/Flash Builder automatically adds this file into your bin and [...]

Using ANT to build an Application
Building a Flex project with an ANT build file is not a skill that every Flex developer will need, but once you get into Enterprise Application Development it really becomes a necessity.
