Based on this flex example that shows how to set the VerticalScrollPosition of a RichEditableText, I made some tiny changes and I came up with an “animated version” I wanted to share.
The demo is visible here and the source code can be found there

If you want to develop multi user applications, there are a number of technologies available out there, I’m not going to list them all, but recently, I worked with The Union Platform, Red5, and I also had a look at Stratus and AFCS.
AFCS is quite interesting because it provides loads of features “out of the box”, and if I had to develop a “professional” / commercial application, this is probably the solution I would choose.
Anyway, I made a simple “shared ball” application (just like the one that comes with the Red5 samples) and I wanted to share it with you …

chromium-browser is the open source project behind Google Chrome (not the OS, but the browser), it’s quite nice but the annoying things about it are :
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/chromiun-browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.soLast thing to make it work, lauch chromium-browser with the —enable-plugins switch (in a terminal or launcher)
chromium-browser --enable-plugins
This code snippet shows that you can easily “make” a Sprite subclass the main class for an Air application.
Like everyone who uses the web, I’ve been using the bit.ly “url shortener” a few times.
I wanted to use this in an ActionScript/Flash project I’m currently working on so here it is

I just wanted to use gravatar in a flash project I’m currently working on.
Turns out, it was much easier than I thought.
Just enter the email address your gravatar is associated to (must be valid) and press “Get it”; you can also use the slider to change the size. Click here for the source.

If you’re using gedit and you need syntax highlighting in MXML files, here’s what I came up with. Enjoy…
Oh yes, I might change the name to gedit_flash what do you think?
I started having a look at groovy about two weeks ago. So far so good, I’m enjoying the features of this cool language.
As an exercise, I used twitter4j and came up with grittr, a groovy class that lets you update and check twitter from the command line. (There are some bugs on Windows, and since I’m not using Windows I don’t really mind but if you want to fix this, feel free to do so)
The only thing I haven’t managed implementing is oauth, but you can grab the source here
Decided to start using tumblr for blogging.
Will post more soon :)
