AS3 Value Objects With a Quickness!

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Yesterday I found myself in dire need of a value object for something Flex I’m working on but was feeling too lazy to type it out.  I decided to hit Google before writing out the class by hand.  I hit this gem for blasting out quick ‘n easy value objects in AS3.  Just throw down your list of properties and go!

Thanks Mark Knol,  I love saving time and typing!

Alcon Debugger for Flex/AIR/Flash

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

Alcon is an AS2/AS3 debugger written in Adobe AIR.  It doesn’t care what editor, compiler, or OS you are using (yay! a Linux AS3 debugger!).  Bryan from Intuitive Media (check muh blog roll) turned me on to it.  FlexBuilder can go do it’s thing in Windows/Mac land and I’ll keep doing my thing over here with Linux power!  Thanks Hexagon Star!

TACFUG is on the Upcoming Flex/Flash Catalyst and Coldfusion/Bolt Tour!

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

TACFUG in Raleigh, NC (my beloved local CF user group) has been selected to be a stop on the upcoming Adobe Flex/Flash Catalyst and Coldfusion/Bolt tour!  AKA ‘Gumbo’ and ‘Centaur’ as I understand.  We’ve been politely told by Adobe *NOT* to refer to specific version numbers when talking about this event.  I suppose that is just in case they decide to change the versions to Flex 5/ColdFusion 10 at the last moment.

Tour Event: Adobe Flex/Flash Catalyst and Coldfusion/Bolt tour
Date and Time: June 16, 2009 from 6:30pm – 9:00pm
Address: Rail Inc7001 Weston Pkwy Cary, NC 27513

Flex Variable Binding in AS3

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

In mxml you can bind a variable using {}. How do you do that in AS3?


import mx.binding.utils.BindingUtils;
BindingUtils.bindProperty(label2,"text",ti1,"text");

Thanks Raghu!
