There arn’t the normal set of unconferences this year as normally found at MAX; FITC, 360, and others are pretty well absent from the community pavilion this time around.

Whereas Flex 3 included built-in support for deferred content creation in all of the Halo containers, Flex 4 only offers this feature with the SkinnableContainer Spark container. With the DeferredContentGroup, you can utilize deferred instantiation in the lighter-weight Spark Group container. I created this, primarily, because I needed it for the new Spark ViewStack navigator that I’m currently working on (which I’ll be wrapping up and releasing soon), but I saw no reason to not release this as a standalone component. I didn’t feel like I needed to post a demo or directions on how to use this. If you

Here's a little bit of fun with using ActionScript Workers to calculate a system of particles with mutual gravitation all falling into a central gravity well and Stage3D to render them. This is an ActionScript project rather than a Flex project - I decided on this so I could make use of the new ASC2.0 with Inline support. My ParticleWorker class is doing the brunt of the work. It loops over the vector of particles then uses 3 dimensional bin lattice subdivision to find each particle's neighbours (well, that's a slight fib, since I'm rendering with orthographic projection I've cheated and I
A few months back I had to debug an Adobe Flex application that used Adobe Message Format (AMF) for client-server communication. For readers unfamiliar with Adobe’s Flex/Flash stack, AMF is a binary RPC communication protocol, usually powered by Adobe’s BlazeDS technology. The application I was working on used BlazeDS to expose a number of AMF [...]
Building GPU-Accelerated Mobile Application Interfaces with Starling and Feathers Apache Flex is great for application UI… but it isn’t GPU-accelerated :( New versions of Adobe AIR perform quite spectacularly on mobile and really blaze when tapping into the device GPU. If your mobile application requires this sort of performance – there is a solution to [...]Related Posts:Feathers: Accelerated UI Components for Stage3DI’m Speaking at 360 Flex in Denver360 Flex Session PeekMy Adobe MAX 2011 Speaking ScheduleThe D2W Conference is coming up fast!
