i was trying to find a solution for compiling Robotlegs from Flash IDE (CS3 or CS4)
and found two approaches:
the first one comes from Jesse Warden combining mxmlc & Flash CS4 or CS3 with GAIA Framework.
the second one (that i think is a lot easier) i found it at Helmut Granda post using XML configuration to initialize the injection from the SwiftSuspendersInjector, you can find more info here and in the SwiftSuspenders README file.
so, i tried the second one and here’s the Hello Flash example compiled from flash CS3
download here.
enjoy.

Strategy Pattern is my favorite one, and why?
because it’s so simple for implamentation; it’s based on polymorphism, an the basic idea is to encapsulate the code that you think is gonna change.
for example let’s say that you have and Encryptor Class:

i was trying to understand what’s happening behind scenes in the Log Class in Flex Framework
if you digg a little bit in their Classes you’ll find something like this

| public function debug(msg:String, ... rest):void
{
if (hasEventListener(LogEvent.LOG))
{
// replace all of the parameters in the msg string
for (var i:int = 0; i < rest.length; i++)
{
msg = msg.replace(new RegExp("\\{"+i+"\\}", "g"), rest[i]);
}
dispatchEvent(new LogEvent(msg, LogEventLevel.DEBUG));
}
} |
so what’s means msg = msg.replace(new RegExp(”\\{”+i+”\\}”, “g”), rest[i]); ??????
that means whenever you find “{0}” …. “{n}” replace it by the string rest[0] … rest[n]
so you can use

| Log.debug("the song says {0} little {1} little {2} little-endians" , 'zero','one','two');
//outputs: the song says zero little one little two little-endians |
for me is so hard to read a Regular Expressions especially because i always forget
all means of meta characters and meta secquencies hehehe

Today we just found two great plugins for FlashDevelop
first: Reopen closed tab plugin
just press Ctlr + Shift + T and your last closed tab would be open again (firefox style! XD)
second: FlashdevelopPMD
integrates the new flexPMD from Adobe Labs to FlashDevelop
FlashDevelop is a great tool for coding and of course is our “battle horse” here at GrupoW
enjoy it!
i was talking with Caleb (the sound expert here at Grupow) a few days ago about how the Pitch works behind the scenes
i saw a great usage of the Pitch effect in Braid Game and i wanted to give a try in the Flash’s new Sound API
…………. but then Andre Michelle came with this!!!
man………. that guy is crazy.
is an old AS2 experiment that i made some time ago
the rules are:
1. Any live cell with fewer than two neighbours dies, as if by loneliness.
2. Any live cell with more than three neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.
3. Any live cell with two or three neighbours lives, unchanged, to the next generation.
4. Any dead cell with exactly three neighbours comes to life.
download the source files and and try different grid inputs
i was just playing with pixels and BitmapData
the code is a little messy and is not optimized
at the end we didn’t use it on production but is a really nice mouse trial
hope you like it!

now that we release the Energy Lab we have some time to post something!
if you go there you’ll find a really cool mouse effect
and here is a quick prototype in AS2 of how we build it
