I’m  making a tree like menu structure. It is already a hacky business but now I encountered another problem. And I have no clue where it is happening and if I do something wrong or Flex is messing it up. I have a Tree component that uses a tree renderer to render the items. In [...]

For my AMDawing I searched a lot for . And all the solutions that I found are too complex in my opinion. I saw all the examples with remote objects and AMFphp or ZendAMF. Finally I found the solution at thinkerlog.com. I think it is the most straight forward solution. This are the basics: First [...]

A few weeks ago I was busy finding a graduate project. And during that time augmented reality looked very interesting. Most of you know what it means, for the others here a small explaining line from wikipedia: Augmented reality (AR) is a field of computer research which deals with the combination of real-world and computer-generated [...]

I’m busy building an AIR application that can be used on Windows and Mac OS. I have to take care of the file structure [...]

I stumbled into an incorrect working function of the TileList in Flex. It looks like they swopped a few variables around. If you set the direction of the TileList to horizontal it looks like Flex doesn’t care about the option and just scolls vertical. After that I checked an Adobe quickstart guide to know sure [...]

I extended the Flex 3D example of my previous post some more. Now you can drag (left mousebutton) the objects and bounce them into each other. I think the smart visiters will see that it look a little like TileUI from Doug McCune or TileUI copy of Bill White. I tried to make something like [...]

Watch the Away3D and WOW demo. Sometimes they stand like a tower and sometimes it almost look like they explode. Click on the onderground to reset the cubes to a random position
