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 […]

Changes
Unfortunately I can’t give this topic the time it deserves right now, but for those of you who are interested I wanted to let you know of some “significant life changes” that are happening to me.
Summary
New job. New city. New house. Moving tomorrow. Offline for a week or two. Don’t say anything important while I’m […]

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?
In fact he specifically wanted to know if it […]

I am 360|Flex (and so can you!)
The next 360|Flex conference is coming up quickly — March 7-10, 2010 in San Jose, California. As I’ve been preparing for the conference and reading some of the things other people are saying about it, I’ve been reminiscing about past 360|Flex (and other) conferences I’ve been to, and about how much they’ve impacted me professionally and personally. (Hint: a lot.)

Thoughts on multi-screen, multi-context app development
Around 8 months ago I was asked to start thinking about the now emerging (particularly from a Flash Platform perspective) world of multi-screen application development. What are issues to consider? What guidance should we offer?
It turns out that my thinking on that topic isn’t going to become anything in the Adobe documentation. So I’ve sort […]

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.
For lack of a better name, I call it my “AIR SQLite utility library”
The code currently contains one major piece of functionality (well, two different variations on one bit of functionality), […]

Multi-table INSERT using one SQL statement in AIR SQLite
This article describes a way that you can use a single INSERT statement to add data to multiple tables in the SQL dialect supported by the SQLite engine in Adobe AIR.
Normally in SQL, including in AIR’s built-in SQLite database engine, you can only add data to one table at a time using an INSERT statement. […]

New article “Programming with the Vector class”
Several months ago (probably almost a year ago) I wrote an article for the Adobe Developer Connection titled “Programming with the Vector class.” As you can surely guess, the article is about the Vector class, which provides typed array functionality (an array whose elements are required to all be instances of the same data type). […]

A paperless world?
In the spirit of the anecdote I shared last March, here’s a funny little story from my day.
My boss asked me to review a report he’s been working on. He wrote it in a wiki page. I reviewed it mostly while I was riding on the train to work this morning (without network connectivity), so […]

A new (old) tool for AIR SQLite development
This is pretty much old news by internet time standards, but I haven’t had time to write about it until now. (We’re working hard to make future Flex/AIR/ActionScript/Flash documentation more focused on how you actually use documentation, better than ever before.)
A couple of years ago, before AIR beta 1 (“Apollo”), I wrote a tool for […]
