Flex Component Kit And Flash CS4
Kategoria Flash & Flex | 11 comments
This issue was driving me crazy. I had the “Flex component kit” installed in my previous version of Flash (CS3) and it worked perfectly. However, I couldn’t get it to work with Flash CS4 even though I am pretty sure I installed the extension correctly. And seriously it is pretty trivial task
. Adobe extension manager claimed that the extension was succesfully installed. Even so there was no extra commands added in the “Commands” menu as I would have expected. But here is what I found out.
It seems that this problem is related to having two different Adobe Extension Managers installed on one computer (even though I only could find one installation). One is saying that extensions are enabled and another is claiming the opposite. See below the screen captures.
Adobe Extension Manager CS4 (Finnish)

So here is what you should do. Navigate to Flash CS4 Help menu and select Manage extensions.

Check domain demo

I made this small app a while ago. I figured this could be useful for someone so I decided to post it here with the source. It is relatively simple so I guess no in depth explanation is needed here.
However, if you are new to Zend framework I recommend watching this tutorial from Lee Brimelow.
You can also download the ZendAMF bootstrap file and other related files needed to get the application work properly. I included Sven Wageners amazing domain.class.php script in the download. That is the place where the actual search happens.

Feed Reader Demo
Kategoria AS3, Demo, Flash & Flex | Leave a comment
Here is a simple feed reader app I made with Flex. It accepts RSS2.0 and Atom1.0. I included some error checking and validation to make sure that the URL or feed is valid but it could sure be better. Much better
.
I used Adobes as3syndicationlib to parse the feed data so if you need more information about it go check this article. “View Source” is enabled so you can download the files and study the application. Anyway check out the demo (Feed Rider).
