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.
\x0a\x0aThe demo is visible here and the source code can be found there
\x0a\x0aCheers
\x0aIf 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. \x0a
\x0aAFCS 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. \x0a
\x0aAnyway, 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 : \x0a
\x0asudo ln -s /usr/lib/chromiun-browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so\x0a\x0aLast thing to make it work, lauch chromium-browser with the —enable-plugins switch (in a terminal or launcher)\x0a
chromium-browser --enable-plugins\x0a
This code snippet shows that you can easily “make” a Sprite subclass the main class for an Air application.
\x0aLike everyone who uses the web, I’ve been using the bit.ly “url shortener” a few times.\x0a
\x0aI wanted to use this in an ActionScript/Flash project I’m currently working on so here it is\x0a
\x0aCheers
I just wanted to use gravatar in a flash project I’m currently working on.
\x0aTurns out, it was much easier than I thought.
\x0aJust 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.

\x0aI started having a look at groovy about two weeks ago. So far so good, I’m enjoying the features of this cool language.
\x0aAs 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 :)
