I downloaded the latest release of Tweener and found that there’s a new set of parameters for creating bezier curve animations.
This example requires Flash player 9 or higher.
var so = new SWFObject(”http://blog.vixiom.com/uploads/bezierMaker_as3.swf”, “tweener_swf”, “500″, “400″, “9″, “#FFFFFF”);
so.write(”tweener_swf”);
This was my favorite presentation of the LA stop of the Adobe AIR bus tour. Lee is very engaging and shows off a bunch of AIR apps built with Flash. If you have a Flash, rather than Flex, background Lee’s presentation will show that you’re invited to the AIR party too – don’t be shy [...]

RubyAMF now can be used as a Rails plugin or you can run it as a Mongrel process. There’s a nice screencast on Rails integration here.
The one-man RubyAMF show that is Aaron Smith also has a Super Simple Remoting class to get you up and running super simply.
Ruby has gone from no AMF support to [...]
The Midnight Coders have released A new version of WebORB for PHP. There’s a bunch of new features which equal, if not leap-frog, thos in AMFPHP. Their post runs through the top ten new features, but my favorites are #6 client/server class mapping
Client/server class mapping configuration. Since this is one of the most common tasks [...]
There are too many candidates running for presnit in ‘08 so as a weekend project I made Whackapol to ‘thin’ down the field. After a mere two days online it got a mention on CNN last night.
***UPDATE***
Here’s a link to video of the segment (1:50 min in).
And you think someone ought to crack the candidate’s [...]
Yes every new framework sets my heart a flutter, but this time it’s for real.
Developing Flex/Flash on top of Rails? What if you could get ActiveRecord and RESTful routing at almost eight times the speed with 75% less RAM? How about all that and real concurrency, including true multiple file upload? All of the above [...]
SWFObject (formally know as FlashObject) is a javascript file that unobtrusively embeds flash in a web page. It works by replacing a holder div with Flash content, if the end user doesn’t have Flash or the targeted Flash player SWFObject will ‘fail’ silently and keep the original div. Here’s a Rails helper that let’s you [...]
The majority of work I do is Flash/Flex and Rails so ActiveRecord, which is the M in the Rails MVC, is really the only part of Rails I use. I’ve always wished I could get ‘Rails Lite’ (In this case Camping doesn’t count) and just use ActiveRecord to pass data back and forth. My wish [...]
I installed my shiny new copy of Flash CS3 today and (after playing around with the new features) immediately was greeted with errors when compiling the Remoting project I’m working on.
The fix is to copy the needed packages from your Flash 8 install to a Classpath that Flash CS3 is looking for (best to make [...]
