    26 Mar: Presenting: Studio Devigner

    posted by: martijn, at 26 March 2010 9:11 GMT+1, 26 March 2010 9:43 GMT+1

Studio Devigner is it's name and with the new logo I'm very proud to show Studio Devigner to the world. Unfortunately our new website is not finished yet but you can view our portfolio.Logo Studio Devigner

  • 17 Nov: Projects get a home

    posted by: martijn, at 17 November 2009 7:33 GMT+1, 17 November 2009 7:46 GMT+1

    All my projects have a steady homepage: projects.devigner.com. I will make the website more attractive and more informative.

    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!

    Just want to say: Buzzword is amazing beautiful... Is it strange that I have a small hope that the Adobe will release the editor as component?.

    I had the need to test the existance of an attribute in a XML node. Searching the internet didn't resolve much and tracing a non existing attribute gave me no result

  • 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.

  • 17 Aug: Manipulating XML with namespace in AS3

    posted by: martijn, at 17 August 2007 12:39 GMT+1, 24 October 2009 12:21 GMT+1

    Today I worked a lot with XML and namespaces, I have to add nodes and so on. And stumbled into problems regarding namespaces.After some struggles I found the solution.

    Because of the namespaces things don't work when copy pasting from the documentation from AS3.

    I'm building an admin panel for Red5 which I want to release open source. I'm not finished yet with the basics but when I'm done I want to release it as download. It will be BSD or LGPL or something other nice (suggestions?).

  • 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).

    After working now with Eclipse for almost 1.5 year and Flex for 3/4 months I always had the feeling I was missing something but I couldn't find out what it was.

    Today I found my peace. And to complete my peace I'm suggesting an eclipse-plugin project:

    I'm still working on my Flex FLV Player for the Repent website. One of the main features will be the fullscreen option. Because the player has rounded corners I used wMode to place the swf in the page.

    Update: This app was my first encounter with Flex. Using this code is not advised and not supported.

    My first (working) Flex application. It displays a public google calender. It's build upon the new XML object which introduces a couple of new things to the flash world like namespaces and E4X.
