ThunderBoltAS3 is a logger extension for Flex and Flash ActionScript 3 applications using Firebug within Firefox.Ride The Lightning is one of the good Metallica records (before they found the formula [1 nursery rhyme + gloom - guitar solos = suck.])

I just endured a marathon troubleshooting/debugging session at work so I figured I would blog the cause/resolution in hopes that it will save someone else from the same painful experience. This morning we noticed that the homepage swf on our site suddenly stopped loading. After some Sherlock Holmes like deduction, we narrowed it down to the fact that particular swf was unique in that it was the

Flex Spy allows you to inspect and dynamically change most properties and styles of the visual components in your Flex application. You can - for example - try out a specific width or a background color for your component before changing it in your code. It basically does for your Flex applications what Firebug does for HTML/AJAX. Here is an example

Today the guys behind Degrafa released their first public beta called Degrafa: Origin The focus behind the Declarative Graphics Framework (Degrafa) is to bring the graphics classes up a level to provide a common ground between developer and designer within Flex, and enable the graphics classes to become first class citizens within the Flex framework." This looks very promising and could help to

Background As I have been developing Flex apps for some time now, I have come across a few different causes of the Flex compiler error: "An internal build error has occurred. Please check the Error log". Thankfully, community blog postings and the flexcoders newsgroup have helped me get through them until yesterday. The common thread I've seen previously for this error has been syntactic

When doing UI Development in Flex using Flash 8 image assets, I found myself doing a lot more typing, copy/pasting, and flipping back and forth between Flash and the Flex IDE to generate the CSS code for customized component skins than I care to. I decided to write a few quick and dirty JSFL files to speed up the process, and here is what I have so far: (download sample files) NOTE: this is a

"Flapjax" is a new programming language designed around the demands of modern, client-based Web applications. This site has no relation to the flapjax language, but has a similar focus of web application development in a broader sense (based primarily around Flash, Flex, and AJAX hence the name). We will be posting stuff here soon I swear! If you are interested in the flapjax language, you
