One of the common things you’ll want to do when building mobile apps is add a splash screen. This is an image that shows up while the application is launching and gives a visual indication to the user in the 1 or 2 seconds it takes after clicking. With the new Flex 4.5 mobile components read more

There is a bit of a change of plan – rather than give an overview talk on open source projects in the community – I’ll be doing my session at Flash on the Beach on Flash Player 10.1 development and the litl webbook. Ever since Flash and the City earlier this year I’ve been playing read more

June 19, 2009 – 8:25 pm
It seems Google did an update to how it indexes Flash content yesterday.

I promised to blog about my adventures exploring what ColdFusion has to offer, and ColdFusion Components (CFC’s) was one of the first things I tried.
