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 .
Writing your own UI Toolkit is, if nothing else, educational. As the OpenPyro framework continues to evolve, every time a new feature is added, I look around at prior art in the domain and evaluate the choices made by different frameworks which has been fascinating. Of course, the first framework I look at (since I [...]
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 [...]
Its kind of ironic that I am posting this on the same week as Adobe Flex wins the Sys Con Ajaxworld award for the Best Open Source RIA Solution, but I think a conference with almost no showing from the open source community thats actually contributing to the Javascript AJAX Framworks is of questionable merit [...]
Having worked with Flex long enough there are definitely times I get really annoyed when Flex does something I feel is counter intuitive or when I have to go around a pretty complicated process to do something that I feel would be trivial in Flash.

We are also discussing features for LogBook 1.3 at the Google group for the project. If you have a feature you would like to see added or [...]
One of the bugs reported on our recently released LogBook application was around the “Clear Logs” button. Within LogBook, we keep all the LogMessage messages in an ArrayCollection. When Clear Logs was clicked, we called a removeAll() function to clear the ArrayCollection. However when the size of the ArrayCollection grew more than a hundred or [...]
As promised, today we are formally releasing LogBook, our internally developed tool for logging events from Flex (and coming very soon, pure Flash AS2/AS3) applications. For the uninitiated, logging is the process of recording and storing information about events in your application. The functionality is similar to the trace command, but a lot more robust. [...]
