Nightly Flex 4.1 builds now available on opensource.adobe.com

Posted on February 24, 2010 by Peter deHaan | Comments (0)

The other week I “tweeted” that the Flex 4 Layout Mirroring spec posted at http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Layout+Mirroring. The spec menioned that layout mirroring will only be supported when targetting Flex 4.1:

This feature adds a property and a method to the existing IVisualElement interface. There probably aren’t many new implementations of this interface in the field however any examples that do exist would have to be recompiled to target Flex 4.1.

Today it looks like the Flex 4 downloads page on opensource.adobe.com site also has its first Flex 4.1 SDK posted — 4.1.0.14380.

Yay!

The Flex 4 ‘halo’ namespace is now the ‘mx’ namespace

Posted on December 7, 2009 by Peter deHaan | Comments (0)

With Flex SDK SVN trunk revision 12635 the Flex 4 SDK no longer supports the “library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo” component namespace. MX components should be referenced using the “library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx” namespace.

For example:
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
    xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">

I did a quick scan and here’s a list of the Flex/Flash Builder specific looking sessions:

I now own all four halo colors

Posted on October 4, 2009 by Peter deHaan | Comments (0)

The other day I noticed on Lee Probert’s blog that he bought himself a fancy new hex color from MyHexColor.com for the grand total of $1.

So I’m proud to say that I’m now the owner of the following four “halo” colors: haloBlue, haloGreen, haloOrange, and haloSilver.

BETA ActionScript 3.0 Reference for the Adobe Flash Platform released on help.adobe.com

Posted on September 30, 2009 by Peter deHaan | Comments (0)

I just “tweeted” this, but thought it warranted a nice little blog post as well.

The documentation team released a cool new version of the Adobe Flash Platform Language Reference (which includes all APIs from the following products: Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, Adobe AIR, LiveCycle Data Services, Adobe ColdFusion, Adobe Flex, and Adobe Flash Player — as well as the Text Layout Framework (TLF) classes). And the great news is, you can filter content based on Runtimes (Adobe AIR and/or Flash Player) as well as by Product (Flex, Flash Authoring, LiveCycle, and/or ColdFusion).

Also, head over to the Developer Connection site and read Ed Sullivan’s exellent “Introducing Adobe Cookbooks 2.0″ article.

Update: Wow, there are quite a few more Cookbooks than I expected:
