I started off really good last year with my review of my trip to FOTB 2008. But as usual I kinda got lost in the work and before I knew that review would be so outdated that you could already start counting down to the next FOTB. But not this year! So here it is, [...]

Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst betas available
Hey everyone, I’ve just found out that the first beta version of both Flash Builder 4 and Flash Catalyst are available on labs.adobe.com. Flash Builder has some very useful inprovements, like source refactoring, framework package explorer, … The Flash Catalyst version is somewhat different from the version that was distributed at MAX last year, but [...]
So, What exactly is a .wav file?
Until recently, I thought a .wav file was for uncompressed digital audio data on windows, while .mp3 file would be the compressed version of the audio clip. That was probably too simple to be true!! The first time I used Adobe Audition to export a mixdown of a multitrack session, an export dialog box poped-up [...]
3 ways to solve the “I want to call an event handler function directly” problem
Say you have an event handler that is called each time an event is triggered and you would like to call this function directly (so without waiting for an event to happen).

Bitmap processing outside the displaylist
While preparing one of my classes (Learning Actioscript 3), I played around with the (great!) bitmapData class. Point of the experiment on the one hand was to see if I could draw a snapshot of a sprite (with several animations in it) that is not displayed on screen (not in the displaylist) and on the [...]
A decent Flex CAPTCHA component using only actionscript
I’ve been wondering for some time now why Adobe never includes a captcha component in their Flex SDK. They consider Flex to be an enterprise development tool, but security components are left out? There are a couple of custom flex captchas out there, but in my opinion, they are either far from secure or there [...]
Attaching the same class to multiple library assets in AS3
The first time I started working with actionscript 3 in flash CS3 (a while a go now) I immediatly encountered a problem with attaching single classes to multiple movie clips. Previously I regularly attached the same class to multiple library assets to give them all similar capabilities, for example: if you want a library asset [...]
