The kit features six examples – and growing – of Flex/Fash with Ruby on Rails goodness including my Flash Remoting with Rails MP3 player tutorial. Big Ups to Mike Potter of Adobe for setting up the SDK and allowing me to contribute to it.
There’s also an Adobe PHP SDK [...]

Things kicked off on Sunday, when Niqui Merret posted a simple and generic solution for making Flash movies scale when users change their browser text size preferences. This is a great solution because it is very simple to implement and works with existing Flash movies.

We have a ton of work right now and are looking for freelance Rails and Flex/Flash developers.
I’d prefer that you have a computer science/software engineering background but it’s not mandatory (I’m a self taught programmer so I know it’s possible).

Obviously you don’t want to show the entire card number in case the customer leaves there browser open on a public computer, or even worse someone hacks into their account. However, you do need to [...]

My web application planning usually includes the outline from the client proposal as a feature list and a series of hand drawn diagrams (with many eraser marks), sometimes the diagrams where converted to adobe illustrator documents if the app was complex enough that the client needed to see the app flow before we begin building.

I’m going to prefix this tutorial by declaring my love for AJAX to preempt a Flash vs Ajax war. I use AJAX daily, it’s a great tool, the sun shines out it’s arse, etc. But sometimes Flash is just the better tool for the job. I’m going off on a tangent here but many problems [...]
