This post is way overdue but in any case, I’d like to introduce (rather belatedly) SuperLoader, an image loading library for AS3. The library grew out of my work when I was building the magazine view for EspressoReader. The magazine view builds a visual grid from the images found in a collection of blogs you [...]
Embedded below is my presentation for tonight’s Philadelphia Flash and Flex User Groups. 5 Ways iOS is better and worse than Flash View more presentations from arpitmathur. Thanks everyone who could make it. It was fantastic to see the local Flash Community after way too long .
Last Saturday, Philadelphia was host to its first ever FlashCamp event. The event brought together some of the biggest names in Flash and Flex in the neighborhood and beyond (special kudos to Rob Hall for organizing the event from vision to a lot of very hard work). I did have one session at the event [...]
This post is in response to Grant Skinners post on a thriving commercial ecosystem for the Flash Platform. For those who are just getting caught up with the conversation, it all began with Adobe labs releasing Squiggly, a spelling library for Flash apps which may compete directly with Grant’s own Spelling Plus Library which prompted [...]

An exciting week for Flash Platform Developers as Adobe released a number of Beta versions on the Adobe Labs site. I have just started playing with a couple of them but its definitely worth the shout out. Flash Builder 4: Flash Builder 4 is the next version of the Eclipse based IDE formerly known as [...]

However setting the same variables using the dot syntax (vars.varname = varvalue) sets it to text/xml. [...]
Its exciting to see LogBook, Comcast Interactive Media’s first open source project get some traction. There is talk of LogBook being included in other open source projects as well as people have started submitting patches and suggestions to the project. One issue that was submitted a few days back was around the Logging implementation dispatching [...]
PicLens has been one of the new interfaces that has wowed quite a bit of people I know (including myself). But the application is written in native code and needs to be installed on your computer as a plugin to be usable. Off late I have been playing with Papervision3D a bit and I figured [...]
Photowall is part 1 of a secret project I am working on (secret only since I am not sure part 2 will work, so I’d rather not declare yet what its about ). This component on its own is an exercise in data-prefetch. The idea is to load data as the user scrolls to the [...]
