Welcome to crucible!

Welcome to the crucible, a place to amalgamate ideas, code, techniques and approaches to what we have in common: creating the best RIAs and experiences on the web and desktop using the superb Adobe technologies that are available to us. This wiki is not affiliated with Adobe in any way, execept for the fondness in our hearts.

If you create a page & would like it to appear in the sitemap, at the bottom of the page you create you'll see a link to options. Click that and then choose the link "parent". Type in "start" and you're done.

Visitors: TO MAKE CHANGES, look at the bottom of each page, there is an edit link. Use that to edit. On the left side there is a text input field. Name the page and click Add Page. Then to have it show up in the Sitemap, click Options, parent and use "start" without the quotes.

AXNA and Fullasagoog are here just so you don't feel quite so lonely & also get recent RSS updates while you're here. AXNA seems to go down or break quite a bit though. If that keeps up, I'll have to axe it.

This wiki will only become worthwhile if people like you take the time to contribute to it. I surely plan on adding some material & I hope that you do too.

This ActionScript 3/Flex/AIR wiki was created with a few things in mind:

• Establish another community-centric resource for aspiring/established developers.
• Play with wikis - they seem to be pretty cool and allow easy participation.
• Encourage learning and ego-stroking which benefits all of us.

Don't be a moron, okay? As long as the wiki is treated in a nice fashion, it will exist.

RRODE: the second one-week game

1216891260|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

My 10th released game is my 9th produced one. If you wonder why Summer Couples was made a month after the game I am going to introduce now, it’s because looking for a sponsorship can take some time. More than a month in this case. Once I uploaded the game on FlashGameLicense I received some offers in the [...]

Serving Videos From Subfolders in VOD Application

1216891260|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

This post should be read in conjunction with my previous one about virtual directories with the FLVPlayback component and FMS. I just needed to troubleshoot a client's FMS installation. Videos are organised in a deep structure of subfolders and to be delivered via the standard VOD application of Flash Media Streaming Server. I was using the FLVPlayback component to make sure the videos were playable. Once again it became apparent that the FLVPlayback component needs to be fed with an application instance name as soon as you try and deliver files that are not inside the toplevel /vod/media folder. As

Parameterize your queries without lifting a finger

1216890780|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Tuesday I blogged Peter Boughton's QueryParam Scanner from RiaForge. Today I'm taking a look at Daryl Banttari's Query Parameterizing tool. Daryl's scanner has an interesting twist. Not only does it find unparameterized queries, it will automatically FIX them FOR you! Daryl Banttari works for WebApper and is part of the genius behind SeeFusion [More]

Twittearth - Twitter in 3D live around the world

1216887420|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Twittearth is pretty cool and a great use of 3D! Finally something that gives Twitter some sense of usefulness. It’s like a mood chart for the world at present time. I also like how day/night time are represented.

A few more thoughts on SQL injection

1216886760|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

This whole 0x000000 thing really has me thinking, and I'd like to postulate a few more things you can do to offset the likelihood of SQL injection becoming a serious pain in your day. While I think that cfqueryparam is a very significant tool to defeat this attack, There are several other things you can do to alleviate the problem. I'd like to propose some of them for conversation: Never run ColdFusion, the webserver and your DB under the system account... always create separate accounts for each and restrict them to groups, roles and permissions appropriate for the activities they

Faster Flash Library Symbol chooser

1216847040|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Perhaps something already exists that I am unaware of, but I could really use something in Flash similar to the open file window in Textmate. Organizing symbols in Flash is an art form already. So follow along: In Textmate I have a project open. Rather than drilling down into /com/mikekrisher/vo/Something.as, I simply hit command + [...]

Skype sound quality with SkypeIn and SkypeOut

1216847040|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

About three weeks ago, I decided to give Skype a try again and see how the quality had been improved and to see if I could ditch my Vonage line finally. Unfortunately, the quality is still unacceptable when calling mobile devices or landlines. There is a terrible echo on the landline user’s end. Everything was [...]

Flash should be considered an Application Platform, not just a plug-in

1216846680|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Stop asking yourself when Flash will be on the iPhone. Apple's winning strategy has been to CONTROL everything about their products, from the hardware itâ??s built on to the software it operates and runs. For as long as Apple controls the pieces of the device, they have complete accountability for its performance and functionality. It's [...]
