I also added a new project: Apache Manager, my Flex 4 exploring project build with DAO's (like Flash Builder 4 generates). But also a PHP DAO generating tool. It's totally Alpha or even worse :p so don't expect it to work.

02 Oct: SWFLoader fails where Loader succeeds
posted by: martijn, at 2 October 2009 15:26 GMT+1, 6 October 2009 7:59 GMT+1
The SWFLoader (Flex framework) class has a new method for Flash Player 10 called "unloadAndStop()". You would assume (I did) that it utilizes the same method of the Loader (Flash Player native) class. But unfortunately it is not!The livedocs aren't mentioning it: docs of Loader, docs of SWFLoader.
I always have some trouble with the SWFLoader but this one does it. -
21 May: Sloppy code
posted by: martijn, at 21 May 2009 8:02 GMT+1, 21 May 2009 8:17 GMT+1
Ever since I became interested in programming I stumbled upon bad formatted code. The reason someone writes such code is because he is sloppy and fails to see the importance of clean written code.

01 Apr: Flex Builder Gumbo expired
posted by: martijn, at 1 April 2009 22:55 GMT+1, 1 April 2009 22:59 GMT+1
Today my Flex Builder Gumbo expired and I have to switch back to good old Flex Builder 3. I was so getting used to the new features presented in Gumbo that switching back will be tough. Was the initial roadmap for a new beta of Gumbo planned for this moment? Is so sadly Adobe hasn't met the deadline. -
17 Jul: mx.effects.Move is Evil
posted by: martijn, at 17 July 2008 9:13 GMT+1, 17 July 2008 9:17 GMT+1
The mx.effects.Move class has given me a lot of headaches lately. Yesterday I discovered that a bug in a project i'm working on was caused by this class. I replaced the move class with the tweener class and the bug was disappeared. Somehow the class caused other sprites to turn invisible at random (maybe they got moved to, I still don't know what exactly happened). -
01 Jul: Collaboration with Adobe Flex
posted by: martijn, at 1 July 2008 20:42 GMT+1, 1 July 2008 22:15 GMT+1
For the first time in my professional history I’m blessed with co-workers that also know Flex (and Flash of course).
I’m thinking about a workable system to collaborate together with Flex Builder. It is possible to just edit together in the same Flex project (like we do with PHP projects), but Flex will build every time a file is saved (I know this can be turned off) which tells me there must be a better way. -
12 Jun: Flex Builder rename bug (?)
posted by: martijn, at 12 June 2008 9:43 GMT+1, 12 June 2008 10:46 GMT+1
In Flex Builder 3 (i don't know if Flex Builder 2 has the same bug) you can rename a Class which gives you a dialog that allows to rename the class (with preview posibilities) after you say ok it renames all occurances of the class. Nice so far but there is a small bug making this functionality really annoying:It does this on all open projects.
Solution: close all other projects before using the rename if you have multiple projects with the same classes!

21 Sep: Opening Flash documents within Flex
posted by: martijn, at 21 September 2007 11:18 GMT+1, 7 January 2008 22:03 GMT+1
Always when I'm working on a Flex project I use Flash files for skinning/fonts/graphics etc. Because I can open *.fla files within the Windows Explorer just by double clicking you would asume that Flex could do the same. -

25 Feb: Why (especially Adobe) and other companies should support Linux
posted by: martijn, at 25 February 2007 23:06 GMT+1, 7 January 2008 22:34 GMT+1
If Flash, Flex, Photoshop etc where ported to Linux I would switch immediately. The last 2 weeks I tried to work in Ubuntu Edgy. Besides all the wonderful applications already installed by the default installation I miss the Adobe products (and default support for my wireless network adapter). -
