Simple ActionScript 3 animation examples
Last week I spent a little time teaching some of the newer developers in our office about scripted animation in ActionScript 3. I put together a few simple demos for them, and I thought I might as well share them with the world.
Note that these are basic demos so if you know pretty much anything […]

Data “paging” in AIR SQLite
I got an interesting question a few days ago that I thought I’d share:
My application has thousands of records in one particular table that I need to populate the display with. I was wondering if I can implement paging to speed up the retrieval of those records?

New project: AIR SQLite utilities
I’m excited to announce that I’m “officially” releasing a new open-source project that I’ve been using on personal and work projects for over a year.
