So far, I am having fun developing for PlayBook using AIR SDK. I noticed that the icon requirement for BlackBerry PlayBook AIR SDK are a little complicated. Developer have to make an icon of 86×86 pixels PNG, but he must not fill the entire area with graphics. …
Okay, I admit it. I am old-school. I use Flash Pro CS5 as my only Flash development tool. I do all my coding on timelines and I like it that way. I have been working with AS3 for few months now, and I have to say, I have to write twice the code to actually do what I was able to do using AS2. I miss those good old days. …
Today I got another update notification for Adobe Flash Player 10.1. The first thing I noticed that the notification looked prettier than the last update. I really hated that ugly Adobe Download Manager or ADM in short. Take a look how it was in previous update: In installation process, ADM was downloaded first which was almost the same download size of the Flash Player itself, so I don’t get …
Yes, thats true. 2GB of free space from Adobe. Plus an online version of Photoshop to fix / enhance your photos. Update: New screenshot So far it feels like a great service.

Wow, it looks so sexy! more contents area, better section management, and eye-catchy JS animations. It simply rocks!!! I have sent many requests to Macromedia (now Adobe) about changing layout of DevNet. But the wait is over. The new DevNet is also renamed to Adobe Developer Connection, ADC in short :) The main sections are expandable, showing main categories links. as soon as you click the section heading, it expands …
(via RIApedia) This video preview of NUI’s Flash Surface seems too cool, it almost mimics all features of MS Surface, except wireless media transfer between devices, and automatic device recognition. This project is using Flash 9 with AS3, and it will be open source. So far it looks direct competitor to MS Surface. I think Flash is best option they used. The latest Flash 9 performs better, and have accelerated …
