I’m taking a break from the pattern tutorials for the moment to write the as3 facebook connect integration library I’ve been meaning to write. With that said, here’s a little method I didn’t realize was around to pull properties from classes. Normally the for..in method you can pull properties available within an object, but this [...]

As I was saying in my previous post, I ran into a little trickiness with circling through the squares in my matrix of squares. Now there may be a better way to do this, and by all means if there is let me know, but here is the best way I figured out how to [...]

I’m in the process of getting to know Papervision 3D more finally. With that I decided to play around with it and music. I created a group of squares and each squares Z axis is controlled by a byteArray set with SoundMixer.computeSpectrum. I run through the byteArray, assigning each square it’s own Z pos based [...]

Yesterday I did a presentation on ExternalInterface and it’s uses along with how to inject javascript on the page and a few other tidbits at FlashCodersNY.
Here’s the zip file with the project we went over. Whether you were there or not you should still be able to easily follow along since there’s tons of comments [...]

Currently Adobe is offering flex free for anybody who is unemployed! It’s only to be used with non commercial projects as a means to learn with but that’s just awesome.
For anyone interested, you can pick it up here:

So keeping in the topic from my previous post of low overhead flash apps, I decided to talk a little bit about runtime shared libraries.
So what are Runtime Shared Libraries?
These are libraries that are used just like you normally use your libraries in Flex 3 but instead of storing them within the swf, during runtime [...]

So Last week I did a presentation on the adobe xmlsyndication package and the use of css within an as3 environment sans mxml at the flashcodersny meeting. I think all in all it turned out pretty good but there were a few issues I noticed.
The first being the dependancy on the adobe corelib package and [...]

I was trying to determine a way to sort an array without all the for loops and that sort of business when I ran across this post
Granted it’s a little specific to what you want to sort but I’m sure with a little change you could sort based on the function call maybe. I implemented [...]

I was reading back to some of my blogs and noticed I forgot to look into embedding swf files into pdf documents.
Here is a link to a tutorial for it.

I decided to tweak the class a bit more so I figured I’d throw it up here.

Starting from the younger days of Flash Thaylin taught himself actionscript when he decided he wanted more from flash than to just be able to move some movie clips on the timeline.
This eventually led to schooling for Software application programming which gave him an even more in-depth look at the programming world. Loaded with the new found knowledge of Java and C++ (among others), he dove even further into actionscripting and started working for Raytheon doing E-Learning solutions.
Thaylin is currently the lead flex/flash developer at Starwood Hotels and Resorts and resides in New York City taking in as much information as humanly possible. When not coding he prefers to donate his time to New York Cares helping the community out whenever he can.
