Drunken MAX Interviews

The Drunk on Software film crew hit the streets and bars late on the last night of MAX 2009, asking a select group of people (read: anyone that would let us film them), "What was your favorite thing at MAX?" It's like a "Man on the Street" interview, but with women, too. And it's not so much "in the street" as "on the sidewalk and in the bar." And after the drinking that night, maybe kind of a "facedown in the street" nuance as well. So maybe I'd call it a "Men and women on the sidewalk, in the bars, (translate)

Video: Animated Scrollbar and Slider in Flex 4

Animated Scrollbar and Slider in Flex 4, the next episode in the gripping and suspenseful series CodeDependent, is now available from Adobe TV. This show deviates a tad from the usual CodeDependent shtick; I don't actually walk through any code (shock! horror!). Instead, we show a couple of the new Flex 4 components in action and see the animated behavior that they have to help create a smoother, better user experience. Here's the video: Here is the demo application: And here is the source code. Finally, here's where you can find the CodeDependent videos on iTunes. Enjoy. (translate)

Just for Show

Is there anything with graphics or effects in Flex that you would like to see explained? Any problem that's been bugging you, or some transition that you can't quite figure out? Or just some Flex/graphics/animation topic you're interested in knowing more about? Let me know and maybe it'll become a show... I've been good at doing a bunch of shows and some articles on topics that interest me, or problems that have come up that seemed like they might interest an audience larger than Chet, or just explanations of some of the stuff that we've been doing in the current (translate)

Video: Resizing AIR Windows with Flex 4 Effects

Resize Adobe AIR Windows through Custom Flex 4 Effects Interpolation, the next and verbosely entitled episode in the gripping and suspenseful series CodeDependent, is now available from Adobe TV. In this show, we see how to apply what we learned about arbitrary type interpolation in a previous episode to the specific use case of resizing an AIR window. The ability to animate properties of arbitrary type is one of the key new features in the Flex 4 effects system, and it comes in handy for this use case where animating the x, y, width, and height properties of the native (translate)

Video: Custom Type Interpolation in Flex 4 Effects

Custom Type Interpolation in Flex 4 Effects, the next episode in the gripping and suspenseful series CodeDependent, is now available from Adobe TV. In this show, we see an introduction to the new system of type interpolation in Flex 4 effects. The ability to animate properties of arbitrary type is one of the key new features in the Flex 4 effects system. Previously, in Flex 3, the effects system dealt only with numbers. It was great at animating any properties of components at all ... as long as those properties were numeric. In particular, it knew how to calculate a (translate)

Interview: Drunk on Software, MAX 2009 Deep Thoughts

I think there's a fundamental flaw in the Drunk on Software strategy. If you're actually drunk at the time, it is all too probable that you'll end up with interviews that don't seem quite as interesting, provocative, and hilarious as they did at the time. Nonetheless, Jon and James continue to produce these shows, unhampered by my petty theories and centuries of research on the effects of alcohol on coherent conversation and job security. We all got together at MAX a couple of weeks ago and had a chat about the conference. Fortunately, I think we were all sober enough (translate)

Video: Flex 3 Easing with Flex 4 Effects

Flex 3 Easing with Flex 4 Effects, the next episode in the gripping and suspenseful series CodeDependent, is now available from Adobe TV. This show is basically a recap of an earlier blog article I wrote, Penner for your Thoughts (named for the author of the Flex 3 easing functions, Robert Penner), except this time it's in video form (for the reading-impaired). The topic is about using the old easing functions in Flex 3 through the new IEaser interface that the Flex 4 effects require. See the article for more details about the whys and hows of this rather neat (translate)

Video: Custom Easing in Flex 4 Effects

Custom Easing in Flex 4, the next episode in the gripping and suspenseful series CodeDependent, is now available from Adobe TV. In this show, we see an introduction to the new approach to easing in Flex 4 effects, using the new IEaser interface. "Easing" is a term in Flash and Flex that means changing the way that time is interpolated in animations, to give more interesting and natural movement. In Flex 3, different easing behavior was applied by assigning easing function references to to the "easingFunction" property in effects. This was a powerful and easy-to-use mechanism, but we've changed the (translate)

Interview: RIA Revolution

Shashank Tiwari (co-author of AdvancED Flex 3) and I chatted about Flex 4, effects, MAX, and books at the MAX 2009 conference last week. Check out the interview on the RIA Revolution site. (translate)
