  • Experimental flickr photo viewer

    Experimental flickr photo viewer

    Not so long ago I saw a nice menu from (I’m not really sure) a game console on TV. It had a tilted view on 3D planes with information from a games and after selecting a plane the plane rotate toward the camera so you could see more detail from the selected game. I made…

  • What is the deal with application.parameters?

    I send a userId to my application to display a linechart with the application.parameter object. I get the userId parameter inside my application and can trace or alert it and I see the userId on my screen. Ok everything is working fine for now. Then I want to use the userId to call php function.…

  • DataGrid doesn’t update rowCount correctly

    I have an Bindable ArrayCollection with values and DataGrid that should show all the values (or rows) without the ugly scrollbars (I hate scrollbars). This is working correct by setting the rowCount property in DataGrid like this:  rowCount = “this.ArrayCollection.length” the tricky part is when you add items to that ArrayCollection on application run. Somehow…

  • How to save files from Flex to your server with PHP

    For my AMDawing I searched a lot for . And all the solutions that I found are too complex in my opinion. I saw all the examples with remote objects and AMFphp or ZendAMF.

I think this is also cool in…

In there documentation they are using the latitude and longitude coordinates to set the center of your map. This is not really a human readable way to do it and personally I…

  • Air file.nativePath Vs. file.url

    Is it me or is file.url a lot easier to use than file.nativePath in Adobe AIR. Maybe I’m missing something because every tutorial or code snippet I can find uses file.nativePath. I’m busy building an AIR application that can be used on Windows and Mac OS. I have to take care of the file structure…

  • More playing with 3D and 3D physics engine

    I extended the Flex 3D example of my previous post some more. Now you can drag (left mousebutton) the objects and bounce them into each other. I think the smart visiters will see that it look a little like TileUI from Doug McCune or TileUI copy of Bill White. I tried to make something like…

  • Get full file path in AIR

    Normally if you want a file path in Flex to upload a file you use FileReference() with a browse(). Last week I tried the same technique to get a file dragged from the desktop to my AIR application. After fixing a strange problem the code worked but the next problem appeared to me. With FileReference…
