• Surviving as a Flash Platform Component Maker

  There is no doubt: making it as a commercial component maker is a tricky business, what with open source competition on the one hand, and Adobe being possible competition on the other. Now that we've defined the kinds of commercial components in the previous post, with these roadblocks, how do you make it in the current commercial ecosystem? While reviewing recent discussions over at gSkinner's blog while writing my previous post, I was reminded of a few things about successful component companies, which I recently discussed in an email conversation with Jeffry Houser over at Flextras about the matter, who

• Competition in the Commercial Flash Component Ecosystem

  There has been some discussion recently as to whether FOSS competes with commercial component offerings, and whether Adobe is unfairly competing with its own developers. Well, the answer is maybe, and maybe. The confusion is partly due to a lack of definition as to what constitutes a commercial Flash component, which lies at the heart of the matter. In the case of Adobe unfairly competed with Grant Skinner, well... read on.

• Flash Player 10 crashes Internet Explorer with H.264 video

  At work we ran into this bug the other day, looking into it I found out that Adobe hasn't put any effort into documenting this one so I thought I'd give it a shot myself in order to try and raise awareness. In short, the bug occurs with Flash content playing ...

• User poll : Did you get a CS degree or something in the Liberal Arts?

  During my first two years of college I majored in astronomy, and physics. But most of my classes were in mathematics and I determined that I liked them a much more than anything else. Then I dropped out of college for a while to work at the US Space Academy in Huntsville, AL. When I [...]

• A respectful disagreement with some good friends

  Recently, my friends at Forrester Research published a great white-paper titled “Best Practices In User Experience (UX) Design”, by Mike Gualtieri. In it, Mike quotes someone who I very much admire Bill Buxton at Microsoft, author of “Sketching User Experiences,” who said: . . . the last thing that you should do when beginning to design [...]

• Coding in Flex Builder, Compiling in Flex Builder: A Better Flash Workflow

  A couple of weeks ago, I posted about a workflow I had devised that allowed me to utilize Flash library symbols but still write my code in Flex Builder. While Adobe apparently thinks this awkward hybrid approach qualifies as “integration”, I thankfully discovered a better process just a day or so after my posting. I [...]

• The Full Flash Platform Services Story

  Today we announced the release of the distribution side of Flash Platform Services. Most of the action is on Techmeme but I liked the ReadWriteWeb post, the TechCrunch post, and the VentureBeat post specifically. Distribution Services is the one that’s new and the goal is to let you track your application across a number of [...]

• Zend Framework and Google OpenID Login

  I wanted to use google’s federated login in my application and unfortunately found out that Zend Framework doesn’t support XRDS discovery. Fortunately (and as a testament to the size of the Zend Framework community) I wasn’t the first to hit this block and a patch was posted in the issue tracker. Not wanting to taint [...]

• RPC Instrumentation

  On occasion developers may find a need to measure the time it takes for a request to a remote service to return a response back to the client. This information can prove quite valuable for performing application diagnostics on the client and, when measured in terms of code execution, monitoring at the execution level will [...]

• 30 years younger!

  I should have typed this entry up a few days (today-10 Sept. Days ago) ago, but, my mind was full of other things and felt really tired and worn out after some travelling and a good deal of work.Looking back at my life and also looking at the way things are at the moment, I should say it has been good going so far! I haven't achieved the ultimate dream as yet, but, getting there slowly and surely. Of course, the dream kept changing throughout my life – from being a luxury bus driver to an automobile designer to a

• Map Layer From Local Shapefile

  In this post, I will demo how to load a local shapefile from your hard drive, and overlay it on an map whose base layer is derived from a remote ArcGIS server. Using the Flash Player 10 FileReference API, this task is fairly easy. However, I did not want the user to be prompted for each imported file as a shapefile is composed of a .shp file holding the geometry and a .dbf file holding the attributes. So, the idea is to zip the shp and dbf and load the zip, and then let the application unzip the content and

• Why is programming fun?

  Just recently while going through some old files I rediscovered a quote I found a long time ago which is really inspiring. The quote is an extract from the book “The Mythical Man-Month”, and while the book was originally published in 1974 before being republished in 1995, I feel it will always remain relevant: Why is programming [...]

• FlashBuilder 4 silently fails while launching

  Imagine this... You double click the icon to launch FlashBuilder and see the splash screen show up. Then you glance away from the screen and when you look back, FlashBuilder isn't running. No error Alert. No phantom process running in task manager... just nothing at all.This happened a few times because I started to think I was imagining the part where I clicked the icon and saw the splash screen. So I would try to launch it again. It turns out that I am not going mad. FlashBuilder was really failing silently and just failing to launch. I tried deleting
