    For the past few months I have been working with O’Reilly and Adobe on a brand new community portal dedicated to the advancement of Rich Internet Applications. The site will be officially soon at which time I will be able to provide more information.

    Sorry for being so secretive. :-)

    Stay tuned!

  • UrlKit has been updated

    December 20th, 2007

    Joe Berkovitz has posted a new version of UrlKit. Version 0.91now uses back-ported Flex 3 deep linking in its Flex 2 version, providing good cross-browser support for IE7 and Safari. The new enabled property of FlexBrowserManagerAdapter permits applications to delay the initialization of UrlKit until their application reaches a fully initialized state. The new navigate() method permits applications to optionally navigate by directly specifying a URL rather than by modifying a navigational model.

    URLKit is also permalinked in the AS3 Libs section on this site.


    Interesting Read on Buzzword

    December 4th, 2007

    I was just reading this article from The Joy of Flex on Image Pasting into the Buzzword Flex edition. I would be very interested in seeing some basic samples of this being implemented. If anyone has already built something they don’t mind sharing, please contact me. rtretola @ gmail.com
