Excerpt: Dynamic Skinning and the Drawing API

Here's another excerpt from my new book "Professional Flex 3", Chapter 25: Dynamic Skinning and the Drawing API. 8 authors contributed to the material in this book, and it is full of useful information. Go get it! Chapter 25: Dynamic Skinning and the Drawing API One of the largest differentiators of Flex and the Flash Player from traditional HTML-based Web development technologies is the Drawing API. The Drawing API allows you to programmatically render vector graphics on the screen within the Flash Player, and it is the foundation for dynamic skinning with the Flex framework. This chapter explores the Drawing (translate)

A fix for createGradientBox()

Whilst playing around with some geometry that involved gradient fills I had to realize that the native implementation of Flash's createGradientBox() is unfortunately entirely useless as soon as you try to introduce rotation and scaling to a gradient. The reason seems to be that internally the order of matrix operations is unsuited for that task. Maybe I've searched not thoroughly enough, but I didn't find any solution for this out there. So I've written a tiny class that fixes it. Here's a comparison of the difference between matrix.createGradientBox() and my new GradientMatrix.getGradientBox() var fo = new FlashObject("http://www.quasimondo.com/examples/gradientMatrix/GradientBoxDemo.swf", "gradientBox", "500", "400", (translate)

Development TODO Lists

Over the past few years I have found that keeping an updated prioritized TODO list for app development is really essential. The TODO list habit started out of the need for me to stay focused but evolved into prioritizing what I was working on ranked by risk. Software development is essentially a game of risk management as any part of an application can quickly become very complex and suck the life out of your development schedule. We have all been there, the aspect you think will take the least time time ends up taking the longest for some odd reason. (translate)

review: Balsamiq Mockups

It took me, as a 'first time ever' user of Balsamiq, about two hours to complete a wireframe I had sketched up on paper in a few minutes. That's a plus - I doubt anyone besides myself can read the wireframe I sketched by hand, much less make heads or tails of it, while the one I made with Balsamiq is quite legible, while still lo-res such that it should impress upon the client that this is indeed a mockup not meant to communicate any sense of the look & feel of the application. My other thoughts for this particular (translate)

Dear Apple

Dear Apple, i'm your sincere fan. I own a couple of ipods, some laptops, spend sometimes too much on your app store on both of my iphones (1st gen and 2nd gen), scroll fast to the next story when i read someone blaiming your your app store app approval process and recommend your products to the people i care most (family, friends and clients). I'm writing you this post, cause i'm really sorry that one of your new partners are making me desire to go back in time and buy that nice black blackberry they offered me instead of your (translate)
