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.

Introducing Android to the concept of ItemRenderers

1258952460|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Coming from the Flex world, it’s strange not to see the idea of “ItemRenderers” in Android.  Customizing the way a List Item looks is much more manual than in Flex, so I’ve come up with a ListAdapter that allows for some of the flexibility/framework-ness that I enjoy in Flex. I started from this tutorial and modified [...]

Video on SixthSense Technology

1258951560|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Here is a great video about the potential of sixth sense technology. It will be very exciting to see this technology take hold and certainly exciting to think about all the potential it will have in e-learning. This was presented at TEDtalks, which after seeing this, I will be watching more often.

The motion graphic team at The Basement Design + Motion recently finished their latest TV spot. It should be broadcasting nationally soon, but you can get a sneak peek below:

14 Days of ColdFusion 9 Caching: Day 6 - Using cachePut, cacheGet, and cacheGetMetadata

1258947900|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Today's caching example moves us away from the template cache and into the object cache. I defined these two types of caches on day three of this series but let's revisit the definitions. The template cache in ColdFusion 9 refers to a specific area of cache where page fragments and full page cache items are stored. The object cache refers to anything cached except pages including strings, arrays, ColdFusion components, queries, XML, or the like. Let's look at a simple example that illustrates the use of three new functions in ColdFusion 9: cachePut(), cacheGet(), and cacheGetMetadata(). [More]

Star Trek: The Movie on USB Stick

1258775940|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Today I saw something I'd been hoping to see for some time now: a movie released on USB stick. Specifically, the latest Star Trek movie in a limited-edition USB stick shaped like a Communicator. Unboxing The Precious You can watch my unboxing of it, above, to see that they really did put some care into the packaging. [...]

Sending an ArrayCollection â?? Flex to amfphp

1258743300|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Here are my tweaks to amfphp for sending an ArrayCollection from Flex to amfphp. May not be the cleanest or most proper but it works. From what I understand, there is an ArrayCollection class included in Zend_AMF, but I haven't looked into that. I've been sending ArrayCollections from php ...

Thoughts on Paul Grahamâ??s post: â??Appleâ??s Mistakeâ?쳌

I just read Paul Graham's blog post titled Apple's Mistake. If Steve Jobs doesn't read that post and finally take some action on the farce that is the App Store approval process, Apple will have made two mistakes. And you should read it too because it is overflowing with wisdom. It is telling in itself that [...]
