Everything about Flash

Monday always has a bit of a bite. Sentiments of Monday followed this with various subjects revolving around inpatients. I guess it’s only natural when your future hangs in the balance of belief.

I just have to post this image since well, it was a first for me actually. I have never once actually built the SDK using the build file when it was opensource at Adobe. I was just another user downloading new versions and updates.

The week flew by with the logo contest and voting, huge community involvement, the creation of the flex-users mailing list and some rock solid information on the Falcon compiler.

Here is a nice and full summary for 14 days of blogging!

Well it was mostly another quite Sunday except for a couple conversations about the Flash Player AVM and code quality in relation to class line size.

Hi,

The Flex-Dev summaries continues. I always like doing things I thought I couldn’t do. I’m going on 10 blogs posts in a row, I have never done that before.

As the title says, I’m really being poetic here since I have nothing better to do. I would consider today a special day for myself since I finally released something! Well a prototype of ActionScript documentation created by the Falcon compiler and my jasdoc mxmlc compiler subclass.

Well the weekend was probably the summation of a very active 2 weeks on the list. The main highlights were the SDK being committed without automation and required modules. Moving ahead in conversation today, various community members are voicing their frustrations at Adobe for legal issues regarding the above missing modules.

Well folks, the first drop of the Apache Flex SDK is now in the whiteboard, it’s your job to build it and test in your applications/IDEs. Lets see if anything broke so we can get a first release out sooner than later.

By the time these last two weeks are over, I don’t think I will need to say or think about the word logo for awhile. Kind of like the beginning of a box of chocolate, by the end it’s more about finishing the box than enjoying the last ones.

Monday was an active day of logo entries, method overloading, source code and event handling discussions.

Saturday on the mailing list mainly consisted of logo entries. I’m sure a lot of members are just waiting for the source code to arrive and figuring out what the next steps are to Apache Flex’s first release.

The Thursday edition of flex-dev@apache.org consisted of voting debacles, best practice debates and whether or not to create a flex-user mailing list.

Hi,

Well this was one of those days where you get the calm before the storm and then the storm. Yesterday was the storm of replies and misguided replies to irrelevant subject lines. Basically chaos on a mailing list.
