I’m moving to Seattle.
Anyone need (or know anyone that needs) a code monkey up there?
I will code for money (WOW gold preferably, but USD will suffice) or food (and by food I mean beer).
I think I got stupider reading the posts on NBA.com’s “Fan Voice”.
Goddamn people are stupid.
I will stop reading now.
CSS has been implemented in Flex, but it has some major shortcomings. One of the main ones is that it does not allow a single component to use multiple styles. Another is that a CSS style cannot inherit (or cascade…imagine that!) from another style. I wrote some code that might help fix that a bit.

I just ran into this guy, he has some pretty cool stuff. His work is mostly just photopainting with ballpoint pens, but its pretty damn cool. I really like seeing people with good photopainting skills, especially in such an unconventional application.

Just upgraded to version 2.7.1 of WordPress. Apparently my previous plugin update broke some old posts.
Right-clicking one of my swfs and selected ‘View Source’ won’t work for the time being. I think I’ll try to make some changes on how I do that stuff in the near future.
At the moment, “View source” links to

and it should link to

I’ll fix this later, but first my taxes…
I recently updated some plugins and it appears to have broken some of my stuff. Working on it.
Thanks to DDDan for pointing this out.
Recently I’ve run into the problem of controlling the size of an embedded swf movie in a Flex application. The size of the stage in Flash didn’t match the size of the SWFLoader-loaded component in Flex for some reason. I tried putting a Canvas around it and using the clipContent field, but that didn’t. After a few hours of pain, though, I did get a somewhat reasonable solution.
This post should also serve as a very light example of applying a mask.
Here, the size and location of the rectangle you draw in the myMask determines the visible area of the swf.
I haven’t yet cooked up an actual example showing what this actually does - maybe I’ll do so later…
On a different note, if anyone knows of a quick way (perhaps a wordpress plugin) to post an example coded in Flex Builder, let me know - it would be much appreciated! Right now, I’m bundling a release build and manually pushing it up each time with no regard to specific posts, then hard-linking…
Maybe I’ll write something to do it…knowing me it’ll never get done…

One of the nice things about Flex is that you can default stylistic elements such as padding from a top level via CSS declarations on the Application level. However, if the property you have in mind isn’t a Flex Style, it isn’t so easy to default.
A common example is the horizontalScrollPolicy and verticalScrollPolicy values of the Container class. For various reasons, Adobe (understandably) chose to make these two values properties instead of styles. They’re defaulted to “auto” which means scrollbars are created when needed, but often it would be more convenient if they were defaulted to “off”.
Anyway, here’s one way to default those values:
