You are probably already aware of the release of Adobe Media Player (AMP) which is built into AIR. Many popular TV PBS, CBS, MTV and others have signed with AMP. AMP I believe will quickly become a simple and effective way to display the content and improve the experience utilisateur.De addition, Adobe has also provided videos for AMP. One of the most interesting is the channel ADC (Adobe Developer Connection). Adobe evangelists simply show how to develop in Flex, AIR, Flash ... etc

The last interview is that of Ely Greefield, which talks about Flex 4 and the future of Flex.

You'll find the same content on tv.adobe.com, but the advantage with AMP is that you can save your content and watch it later in "offline".

Go to see AMP ADC and enjoy.

La plupart d’entre nous n’en auront jamais besoin, mais certains gros clients de Adobe le font… While most developers of Flex at Adobe are busy working on Flex 4, some are working on a project called "Plan Marchall." Most of us will not ever need, but some wholesale customers Adobe do ...

If you want to make a Flex Portal, or if you have an application composed of many SWF to be the latest version ... or if you just have a lot of time in front of you, the following link might be interesting for you: The Marshall Plan.

With the advent of the Internet, optimizing the engine for search engines has become a full part in the computer world. The techniques of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) are numerous and useful to know which is more or less indexable by search engines. Referencing for Rich Internet Applications is even more frustrating. Currently the "robots" search engines scour the SWF files and index only the static text.

However, it is possible to obtain a very good reference ...

At Adobe MAX 2007 in Barcelona, Chaize Michael has developed an AIR application ...

Adobe AIR application communicate with a PDF file. The idea is to build a bridge of container JavaScript mx: HTML and communicate with a layer of Acrobat JavaScript.

Following the post Matsiya on the use of SchemaTypeRegistry to allow the conversion of objects from a SOAP Web Service in AS3 classes, I started a few experiments. The use is very simple and allows for mapping SOAP Objects complexType type classes to AS3 objects of his choice, just stating his name and namespace of the object as described in the WSDL file of Web service.

For example, imagine that we Web service returns a list of users and we want to retrieve the list in a class named "UserArray" which is actually an array of objects of type "User". Suffice it to say the association before calling the Web service by

SchemaTypeRegistry.getInstance (). RegisterClass (new QName ( "http://www.flex-info.fr/", "userArray"), UserArray);
SchemaTypeRegistry.getInstance (). RegisterClass (new QName ( "http://www.flex-info.fr/", "user"), User);

The result returned by the ResultEvent then contains a class containing classes UserArray User.

The image below illustrates the process:

As highlighted Matsiya, pity there is not more communication on this aspect of the mapping of data between Web service SOAP and Flex (Flex 3 only). I hope this post is involved ...

Update: To be more complete, the classes in AS3 objects must be written with a minimum of their properties as simple and may include functions to objects. Example of the User class:

package (
public class User
(
public var IDUS: Number;
public var login: String;
public var mail: String;
public var name: String;
public var password: String;
)
)

UserArray class in the example is actually an extension of the ArrayCollection class, but is not necessary if a simple ArrayCollection is sufficient.

When a system of mapping and synchronization classes Java, PHP or other classes to AS3? Il ne manque plus que ça ... non?

Addition: it seems that the mapping does not work well with Web services of type "document / literal" generated by Axis 1. The passage in "RPC / encoded" solves the problem ...

How to create your own tooltips? We know that this is possible with Flex! one says that it should be easy, but now we know how to do it ...

The small example below will probably be a bit more clear ...

- Creation of the tooltip with a custom skin
- Tooltip adjustment in height as in width (9-scale)
- Global positioning tooltip

RicoOnFlex developed a clone of Tetris in AS3. It is a complete set with 600 lines of code AS3. It mainly uses 2 dimensional arrays to represent the masks for the bricks and to enable a simplified collision detection. The record is simply a bitmap data filled with "shape object."

One could add a little sound, beautiful graphics and a high score submission, and it could become a really nice online Thursday.

The game is called TINT for Tint Is Not Tetris.

I Papervision3D considered as part of a project and I wanted to test its integration in a project MXML. Unfortunately, I realized that most tutorials on the subject if not all, speak of creating a project in ActionScript 3. So I create classes for the integration of an object papervision3D as MXML tag, allowing for easy inclusion of a 3D scene in a Flex project. I propose you a small example showing the use of these classes within a project MXML.

Example available here with the sources. The explanations are in the following article ... Read more ...
