Pretty simple but I like the effect.
Draw, then hit the Sketch button.

Seems apple isn’t a big thermo fan. Or is it the other way around?

Checked out the latest nightly build (3.0.0.854) of the Flex 3 sdk on opensource.adobe.com and saw that it includes flash player 9.0.119.0. I can only assume this is the player officially due out in April. Looks like we have a chance for early testing of the security changes we’ve been warned about. However, some sane portion of caution should be exercised given this comes in the form of a nightly build.

UPDATE: Latest player version as of 3.0.0.1009 of the SDK is 9.0.124.0.

The ActionScript 3 compiler, asc, is now open-source!
I went to get the latest nightly build and saw the news in the release notes.

Check it out.

Don’t bury the living.

It’s been a long time since I picked up director, but I think I’ll be taking the trial for a spin and diggin’ what’s new. Looks like it’ll be available the end of next month.

Messing with wave simulation. Click around to make splashes. Let me know what you think.

I’m heavily considering this. Been curious since it was 1st announced. Anyone else done this or also considering?

Ever wanted to run an additional filterFunction on a datagrid that’s already filtered… without undoing the result of the previous filter? Me to. However, setting filterFunction removes any previous filters. So here’s what I do…

In the following sample we have a primary (gender) filter that must be always observed and a secondary (keyword) filter that should only act on the recordset given by the primary (gender) filter. Also, not a bad example of a keyword filter against all columns.

Give a look. Rightclick for source.

Hope that helps someone out there.
