Today after a little period of franetic activity we are glad to release a new AIR application. We have been playing around with throw physics lately and so thought it would be good to bring this source of never ending fun to the desktop, and why not incorporate it into a useful little widget such [...]

When I saw the videos with HP’s upcoming slate device, and I learn that it will support Flash Player and Adobe AIR I knew this is the magical device for me and my family. The only question I have is how much it will cost. My wife is a heavy user of internet (movies, social networks, [...]

Well, so far 2010 has really started of with a bang and our office is starting to get busier than we can handle. We have had our heads down, working hard on a few Adobe AIR apps, some pretty cool Flash development on embedded devices, as well as some mobile development for the iPhone. It’s [...]

Recently I launched my first Flex-based Air application.  Here are my thoughts: Flex apps are real apps Previously I thought Flex applications where simply the V in an MVC framework with a bunch of fancy UI widgets.  Now I see differently and the value of a Flex MVC framework becomes clear. Value-Objects and ORM is beautiful I used the Data/Services feature of Flash Builder 4 to get a quick start on the application. The object it creates can be sent to ColdFusion and saved to the database by simply using entitySave().  Powerful stuff.  Exactly how this is used is dependent on the

Once again I have been impressed by AIR - Adobe Integrated Runtime. I can see massive advantages of an app environment like this even if I have some requirements that are not available. Anyway, we use Google Analytics for client projects and our own websites and I always found the interface a little bit confusing. The left hand menu was structured Marketing, Developer etc and I had no idea where anything was. The AIR Application Google Analytics Suite solves this problem by.....[READ MORE »]

I am a week into Flex 3 development building an AIR app to test the new API for Teamwork Project Manager and thought I would share an issue with HTTP Basic Authentication that I ran into.

But what it you’re a Flex guy and don’t play well with (or have) Flash? And what if you don’t have a touch interface that supports gesutures? Well if [...]

Yesterday Lee Brimelow posted a new tutorial on GoToandLearn.com about Multitouch gestures on the mac. I watched the video and was amazed at how quickly he built a really cool little demo. So I fired up my Flash IDE and started into trying to duplicate his efforts. But I quickly ran into [...]

So, I promised SimTouch would be good to go by March 1st and here it is in all it's 'beta' glory. SimTouch is an Adobe Air application that simulates native touch events on the Flash platform. SimTouch is a transparent app that sits on top of the application that you are developing and dispatches TouchEvents to your application through a connection class. Additionally, by using the SimConnect class you can use your iPhone to simulate Touch Events.

I just finished uploading a new tutorial explaining how to create applications that respond to multi-touch gestures like zoom and rotate. This example creates an Adobe AIR 2.0 application as it is currently the only solution that will work cross-platform. I show the application running on both a MacBook Pro and an HP TouchSmart computer. [...]
