Recently I found out about the [Event] meta tag in actionscript 3.
I always thought it was a Flex-only meta tag but that isn't true.
Because many Flex components are coded in Actionscript only (for performance purposes) you can also use the [Event] meta tags in Actionscript only projects.
Since I am a big fan of code completion and strict typing everything in my code I am certainly adding the following trick to that list.
As a developer with some good and a lot of bad ideas piling up at the imaginary pile, a couple of months ago I started exploring Apple's iPhone SDK. So far so good.
I just wanted to share some good books about iPhone development and the Objective-C language.
I would like to show you have you can use a custom polygon shape, made with Cinema 4D R11, using the build-in Collada export functionality in Papervision 3D 2.0 Great White.
This morning I came across a interesting AS3 implementation of the common known data structures.
The download comes with a few interesting classes that can be very helpful on Actionscript projects:
A wrapper Class to store FlashVars to be used in a flash file (acts as a singleton).
A Class to easy manage GET variables from a URL.
A ResultSet Class for using data that is gathered with (for example) Flash Remoting.
Remoting and Javascript Tracker Classes for easy tracking of user actions inside a flash application.
A few Classes that make it easy to handle Flash Remoting calls.
And some other classes to perform calculations on color values and manipulating Date and String objects.
