Besides my work at multimediacollege as a certified instructor on Coldfusion and Dreamweaver, I’m also sound engineer and, as such, I spend most of my free-time on adobe audition recording and mixig demos, soundtracks, live performances,… [...]

A custom formatted component called CurrencyInput
You know, the Flex SDK is a pretty nice collection of visual component for quickly creating a rich internet application. But in the past couple of years that I’ve developed in Flex, I came across the usual issues with a framework, namely: it does a lot; it does a lot good; but it is just [...]

ColdFusion-Powered flex/air RIA
A few days ago, Adobe asked me to speak on a workshop about the integration between ColdFusion 8 and Flex. As a ColdFusion developer, the ColdFusion part was not a problem, but I was a bit afraid by the Flex part, since I’ve never used Flex or flex builder before. I eventually decided that I [...]
Using the AIR 1.5 updater framework in Flex
I’ve been wanting to play with this for some time now, but I never got around to it … until today. Before AIR 1.5, you had to write a lot of code to be able to use an automatic update of your air application. That code included: · Present the user with an application update [...]

This application let’s you experience the capabilities of Flex and AIR with some small, simple, but cool, code examples. These examples range from a [...]
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 [...]
Positioning a background image in a VBox using Flex 2
Yesterday I encountered an interesting problem in a project that I’m currently working on. I had a gradient background image that I needed to place into several VBox containers. So, naturally, I decided to create a custom component for this. But that’s where the problems began. As many of you probably know, the VBox container [...]
How to create your first application in Flex 4 using Flex Builder 3
A couple of days ago, I wanted to try and make a Flex 4 project using Flex Builder 3. I anticipated some minor changes, but didn’t really know what trouble I was getting into. So, to save all of you from having the same problems, I wrote down how to get it right. First of [...]
Adobe announces Flex 4 SDK, codename Gumbo
A couple of days ago I discovered that the changes for new Flex 4 SDK are already being released. So of course I had to take a look to see what they are up to. You can also view the presentation of Matt Chotin at http://flexorg.wip3.adobe.com/gumbo/gumboplan.htm. Things I saw and heard that were very interesting are [...]
