Creating a Windows AIR Native Extension with Eclipse – Part 1

9 Comments Posted by on October 31, 2011

The second I heard about Adobe giving us the ability to create our own extensions to the Flash Platform in AIR 3.0, I was smitten.  It was finally a way that we could add our own features and do the things that were high priorities on our lists, but not on Adobe’s.  I knew I [...]

Connecting your Flex application to BlazeDS or LiveCycle DS

Leave a Comment Posted by on May 17, 2011

If you have ever attended one of my presentations on BlazeDS, LiveCycle DS, or Flex/ColdFusion, you have heard me talk about how bad the data-connectivity wizards are in ALL of the IDEs available for the Flex SDK.  Even the new Flash Builder 4.5 dosen’t address the white-hot mess they call the data connectivity wizards that they [...]

Destination properties available at runtime

Leave a Comment Posted by on May 16, 2011

In my last blog post I mentioned that there were various properties available when you create your own BlazeDS / LiveCycle DS destination at runtime.  The properties available to you are based on which type of adapter you are using. Each set of properties is baked into a ConfigMap instance that you pass to the initialize() method [...]

3 Comments Posted by on December 31, 2010

One of the projects I was recently involved with had me setup an unsusal enviroment — debugging an embedded device that ran Adobe AIR.  There are not a whole lot of specifics that I can talk about for that particular project, but one of its aspects I can talk about — debugging the AIR and Flex [...]
