About Me
I am a software engineer working for Comcast Interactive Media in Philadelphia. I architect Flash and Flex applications and love all things coded. I have a masters from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in Computer Engineering with a thesis on Flash-Java integration on the desktop (Flash 6 UI talking with Java classes using reflection). I am also an artist and used to work for newspapers/magazines as an illustrator before I got into Flash

Hey there, Got so bored of packing today – remembered your blog and wanted to check it out. Looks good. Can’t wait to see the new stuff and read some verbage on it.

hi, i’m one of the wed designer, i wanna know more things about flex
Hi i was just wanting to ask you some questions about the fan flex app you did for comcast… im looking at doing drag drop around a circular path and was wondering how hard it was to implement in flex… very similar to the way you had add to playlist and then it adds it to the circular path allowing reordering…
would you have any hints or reading materials i could get in to to look at how best to approach the situation…
thanks,

Hi, i wanted to ask you if you shared the source of the flexamp, i saw in googlecode a page for the flexamp but the svn was empty.
Sorry Charles, that must be someone else’s project since I didnt start the repository. The code for FlexAmp unfortunately is in pretty messed up state since I havent looked at it for over a year and it was never in any versioning system (it was more like a weekend project).
I have been meaning to clean it up and release at least some of the code for use by the Flex community but havent done that yet.
Hey Arpit,
I would like to talk to you about squarified treemaps. Could you email me your phone#?

Hi Arpit
I’m new to flash and your blog. A friend of mine recommended your blog. Video streaming always interested me and wanted to do my own pet project. I did implement a http progressive solution. Seek was frustraing with http. I did some search and found that having multiple segments of the video and a bit of action script code will work around the seek issue. I did and seek works now. But, when the player switches from one segment to the next, there is a momentary pause (fraction of a second, I guess). Have you been through this issue? Please share your experience or thoughts on this issue.
Thanks.
Saravanan.
Hi Arpit,
We met a few months ago at Refresh Philly. I wanted to reach out to you to see if you’d be interested in speaking with my company, Aquent, about the the content you covered at Flashcamp. We’re dedicated to staying contemporary and often invite industry leaders to discuss topics with our team. We have offices in 40 cities in the U.S. and 17 countries. I’d love to tell you more about our company if you’re interested in learning more and interested in considering ‘meeting’ with us.

I was a computer Programmer/Analyst from 1980-1991. I’ve been “a heavy user” since then. I feel like a dinosaur not knowing what that the noun ‘fork’ is now also a powerful verb and an adjective! I’m guessing these neologisms were preceded by “Stick a fork in me, I’m done!” But after discovering GitHub today (and understanding only the tip of that iceberg!), I also get the impression that “fork projects” are like a group of friends ordering takeout (e.g., lots of small containers of Chinese food) and then everyone eating some of each container using their own fork. Sounds like the ultimate communion! Thank God I’m seeing this in my lifetime (I’m 59.) If there’s more to forking, please enlighten me further, via email to EurekaBizB@gmail.com . Thanks and Blessings!
