Adobe RIA Developer Summit in India
Having jumped on the RIA bandwagon only a few months ago, it is understandable that I haven’t heard about the Adobe RIA Leadership Summit (Oct, 2007) and the Adobe RIA Architect Summit (Apr, 2008) held in Bangalore, India.

Keeping rotated content clipped
Every container in Flex by default clips its content, when that exceeds the boundaries of the container. Clipping appears to be a computational behaviour that kicks in once a display object exceeds the container boundaries either due to its position coordinates (x,y) or its size (width, height) . Missing something? Well yes; a display object might also […]
MeeBone: How One Dude Learnt AS and FLex
Meebo has been a blessing to all the chatterboxes in the corporate world. Still, there might be some who miss chatting through a messenger client, unsatisfied by a large window of a web browser. MeeBone can be their simple solution.

One way of doing this, is adding an extra step, for the user to save the changes made. So image you have an editable data grid, presenting […]

However values are looked up only by the first character, i.e. user types in ‘a’ and the first option starting with ‘a’ is selected. He then types ‘b’ and the first option starting with ‘b’ is selected.
Now this […]
Improved ActionScript Spell Checker Released
A while ago I wrote a post listed a more than 10 spell checker components for RIA applications. SPL is one of them. Lanny McNie just released the 1.2 version of it. Here is what McNie said:
I’m happy to announce that we just released version 1.2 of our client-side, check-as-you-type, spell checking library for ActionScript […]
Driving Simulation on Google Flash Map
Katsuomi Kobayashi has developed an interesting driving simulation using Google Maps API for Flash. This is his second driving simulation, the first was simply a flash toy and a time-waster that I admit cost my previous employer some productivity.
Kobayashi was trying to develop more complicated courses but found ready made courses in Google maps. Google […]
