Some months ago, I introduced my open-source, lightweight MadComponents framework for mobile AIR applications. It's become very popular now, especially amongst developers looking to avoid the...

I'm writing a series of tutorials about how to make mobile applications using MadComponents. Part one is available today. If anyone is interested http://madskool.wordpress.com

I'm having problems with unprintable characters in XML that's been copied and pasted in. Mostly character code 160 (decimal), seems to be the problem.

I was trying to remove them all with a...

Actually, I've often used older or third-party IDEs to develop AIR desktop or AIR Mobile applications.

First of all I develop my core application that just uses standard ActionScript 3. No exotic...

I've created a lightweight library of user interface components for mobile. Buttons, Labels, Switches, Input Text, Lists, Grouped Lists, Search Bars, List-based Navigation, Picker, View Flipper,...

Not sure what your problem is exactly. It sound like you need to write a simple script to parse the XML and assemble the CSV file. Just e4x and string handling. You could write a simple AIR app to...

It's a common question how to encode illegal XML characters such as <, > inside XML. And the experts always tell us to enclose them inside CDATA...

Please help me beta test my AIR application. It's a very sophisticated project, and and as well as bug reports – It could benefit from any suggestions, feedback and discussion.

I realise that most...

I'm compiling a list of ActionScript 3D engines (both Open-Source and Commercial). Does anyone out there have any more to add?

This is what I have so far..

Several weeks ago I showed you all my AIR illustration application. Someone suggested changes to the interface, and that I needed to incorporate layers.

I did all this, and added other features,...

I have an installation badge on my website to allow users to install my AIR application. One user is complaining that they can't install, and get error 2302. I heard something about this problem...

What's the oldest version of Flash, or studio that you can upgrade from?

OK, I'll make sure you always have two tabs in the gradient. Is the remove tab thing too sensitive? If you remove a colour, or change anything accidentally - you can always Undo. (No keyboard...

Thanks mneil,

When someone else views your stuff, it's like standing back and seeing things in perspective. You made some good points.

zooming: It's there. Bottom left corner. Not clear...

Been busy, sorry. I'm viewing it at 1024x768. You have an easing algorithm. The one in "Mouse_Move_Stage.swf". This bit of code takes your mouse position, and works out an eased position. But...

The parallax left right movement isn't smooth enough. If you rapidly move the mouse left or right - the scene doesn't slide smoothly enough in response. The parallax perspective thing you have is...

I'm developing an AIR illustration application. I've just released the first beta version. There are still some flies in the ointment that I know about - but I'm more concerned about the bugs I...

I'm using Adobe's install badges and Geoff Stearn's SWFObject. But that's not the issue. The issue is that the web host need to set the mime type for the .air file to...

lordofduct: That was interesting. I never studied this area. Trying to make connections with what I knew before... The way you reduce everything to additions takes me back to undergraduate Peanos...

I've made a small personal web site with some .air installation badges. Does anyone know of a free web host who have (or would) set up the mime setting for .air files? (preferably no ads).

I've found that teaching or explaining something to someone else is the best way to thoroughly understand it yourself. That's the way I learnt Flash originally - I had to teach a course on it.

So,...

It's ok, someone pointed me in the right direction:

dnalogic: I don't think evaluating the expression is the issue.... and I would write a recursive descent parser to do that, rather than the javascript short-cut.

The issue, as I understand it is...

Part of the SVG specification involves creating arcs from a description about an elliptical arc. http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html

It species the arc as two points (x0,y0) - the last...
