Six reasons to use ActionScript 3.0

1. Your skills will be in high demand This, in my opinion, is the main reason anyone who currently works or is planning to work as a Flash developer should switch to the new language. All major Flash work is now exclusively being built in ActionScript 3.0. You just don't see many jobs looking for ActionScript 2.0 skills. So if you plan on working with Flash in your job, learning ActionScript 3.0 is essential. 2. Everything you build will be faster Developers who have been working with Flash for a while have often been frustrated that our new, super-cool idea just couldn't run smoothly because of the limitations of Flash Player. ActionScript 3.0 offers up to a 10-fold increase in performance over previous versions of the language. In some cases, the performance has increased even more. This means you can control more objects on the Stage at the same time. If you want your project to look and perform at its best, moving to ActionScript 3.0 is the ultimate way to achieve thi

ActionScript Code Coverage for Flash Builder

Welcome to the prerelease of the Adobe® ActionScript® Code Coverage Plug-in for Adobe Flash® Builder™, a tool that helps ActionScript and Adobe Flex® developers understand exactly what code is executed while an application is running. When added to Flash Builder, the plug-in provides a new Eclipse perspective that allows you to start/stop the code coverage tool, view generated reports, examine source code and save/load reports. Typically developers will use the code coverage tool to see which areas of code have not been exercised during execution so that additional testing requirements can be identified. The tool provides detailed line coverage and method coverage reporting, as well as highlighting classes that are not linked into the application. You can use the ActionScript Code Coverage Plug-in for Flash Builder with applications developed in ActionScript 3, optionally using either Flex SDK 3.x or Flex SDK 4.x, targeting both Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR®. A trial or license

The Truth About Flash

Image
Recently there has been a surge in discussion about Adobe® Flash® technology, and within that discussion, a fair amount of incorrect information has been communicated. Adobe would like to clear up some of those mis perceptions. Touch The Adobe Flash Player runtime was actually originally created as a technology for tablets with touch interfaces, and today, it has support for working on touch-based devices. For existing content developed with mouse input in mind, Flash Player will automatically convert the touch events to mouse events when running on a touch device. This allows content designed for the desktop to work seamlessly on touch-based devices using Flash Player. For new content developed specifically with touch in mind, Flash Player 10.1 will provide a complete set of multi touch and gesture APIs. Video Seventy-five percent of all video on the web is viewed via Flash Player, including videos encoded in the most popular codecs such as H.264 and VP6. There are many

Adobe Flash Player "Square"

Adobe® Flash® Player "Square" is a preview release that enables native 64-bit support on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows operating systems, as well as enhanced support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 beta. Adobe have made this preview available so that users can test existing content and new platforms for compatibility and stability.

Develop Good Leadership Skills

There is one saying like "Leadership Is Action Not Position" Developing good leadership skills is not something that happens overnight. As a matter of fact, most effective leaders will tell you that learning how to be a good leader is an ongoing process, and that you will never quite "arrive", because there's always more you can learn and more you can do to improve your leadership skills. As the old saying goes, "The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement." This article will provide some practical and helpful tips to assist you in developing good leadership skills. Things You Will Need: * Discipline * A willingness to change * Courage In order to effectively lead others, you must first learn how to lead yourself. The most difficult challenge of life is that of self-mastery. Can you discipline yourself in your daily life to do what it takes to lead yourself? In other words, can you do what it takes to properly maintain your pers

21 Golden Rules From Feng Shui

There's some mighty fine advice in these words, even if you're not superstitious. Do not keep this message. Share it with your friends, as they also deserve to be happy. ONE.

Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. FOUR. When you say, 'I love you,' mean it. FIVE. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye. SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married. SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight. EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much. NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely. TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling. ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.

Open Source Media Framework - Introduction

Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) simplifies the development of media players by allowing developers to assemble components to create high-quality, full-featured video playback experiences. This open framework enables development focused on web-based video monetization, with lower costs and faster turnaround.   For organizations that are publishing video, audio, or other rich media on the web or to mobile devices, Adobe has a new Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) that can dramatically lower the time, costs, and risks of creating your video and media players. OSMF-based video and media players run in both Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR.   OSMF itself is an ActionScript 3 code library employed by developers authoring media players using Adobe Flash CS4 Professional and Adobe Flex Builder 3 (as well as any other tool for authoring ActionScript applications).   References Links   http://www.adobe.com/devnet/video/articles/osmf_overview.html http://opensource.adobe.com/wik

If at First You Don’t Succeed

A very good saying about Failure which will not let you disappointed…. Failure doesn't mean - "You are a failure," It means - You have not succeeded. Failure doesn't mean - "You accomplished nothing," It means - You have learned something. Failure doesn't mean - "You have been a fool," It means - You had a lot of faith. Failure doesn't mean - "You don't have it," It means - You were willing to try. Failure doesn't mean - "You are inferior," It means - You are not perfect. Failure doesn't mean - "You've wasted your life," It means - You have a reason to start afresh. Failure doesn't mean - "You should give up," It means - You must try harder. Failure doesn't mean - "You'll never make it," It means - It will take a little longer. Failure doesn't mean - "God has abandoned you," It means - God has a better way for you.

Cross-domain Policy File Specification

A  cross-domain policy file  is an XML document that grants a web client such as Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, etc. permission to handle data across multiple domains. When a client hosts content from a particular source domain and that content makes requests directed towards a domain other than its own, the remote domain would need to host a cross-domain policy file that grants access to the source domain, allowing the client to continue with the transaction. Policy files grant read access to data, permit a client to include custom headers in cross-domain requests, and are also used with sockets to grant permissions for socket-based connections. Sample Case 1… <?xml version="1.0" ?> <cross-domain-policy>      <allow-access-from domain="*" /> </cross-domain-policy> here the allow-access-from element specifies that content from '*' means any requesting domain can access any data within the target domain Sample Case 2….

Create a picture in your mind of how you want the day to unfold. Visualize it clearly and attractively in your mind. Imagine the people you want to meet, the things you want to accomplish or experience, and the fun you want to enjoy. Then, no matter the problems or obstacles you encounter, keep this mental snapshot with you and refer back it to when needed.
