Adobe AIR and the API Feedburner: reloaded

Tuesday, 18 November, 2008

I rush of high tutorial Napolux, Flex 3, Adobe AIR and the Feedburner API, which shows how to write a simple application (or widget) using Adobe AIR Flex 3, to show how the exact same thing using Adobe Flash CS3. If you wish, also, you can use the extension for creating Adobe AIR applications. It is not necessary for the purposes of this tutorial, build the application executable as AIR, you can use the code proposed as a simple Flash movie from "affixed" to your Web pages.

Flex vs Flash

Although Adobe AIR appreciate how technology and how it was implemented in platforms HTML (Dreamweaver), Flash and Flex, are not "yet" quite well disposed towards Flex! I do not make a comparison with Flash Flex, despite many common features but also many differences. But I did not quite appreciate the political Adobe on this spinoff sometimes nonsensical. I would have preferred, instead, creating a unique environment (Flax) development and not this "useless" separation. Moreover, as a good programmer, those too "visual" I do not much like Flex and it seems destined to become dangerously similar to Visual Basic, which among other very well and know that I worked for many years. In short, Flex I really do not understand and I did not understand what Adobe wants to do with this branch. If Flex is listed as the ideal environment to write RIA what the fate of Flash? All the features of Flex, actually not available "directly" in Flash, could - if you want - be included without forcing to buy multiple licenses to develop - in the end - the exact same thing.

Create applications with Desktop Chrome Google and FireFox?

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Chrome Google allows you to create Desktop applications from a Web page? In fact, as shown in the menu item, is simply allowed to create a shortcut to a shortcut that - in turn - opens a window without the address bar without all the frills of the browser. With this does not mean that we have created a Desktop, and we have just created a link to the same Google Chrome mode - so to speak-chrome-less.

Feature Simla, but more ambitious, had already been proposed by the Mozilla Foundation in 2007 through the Prism. This is certainly the most versatile and articulate, accompanied by a useful extension that allows you to create desktop applications menu of FireFox, like Google Chrome.

However, both solutions are far away from technology Adobe AIR. Before someone is confusing the good stress the substantial differences between a shortcut on the desktop, which opens a window without menus, and a desktop application true and proper.
Adobe AIR, in fact, unlike the solutions proposed by Google Chrome and Prism allows:

  • Virtually complete access to the system running the application with the ability to read and write files. Opportunity to extend its functionality through a DLL (dynamic link library), extensions and third-party products as SHU Player (see Distribute Adobe AIR: AIR Badge by a SHU Player)
  • It manages the application like any other system applications: installation and uninstallation

Adobe AIR applications have the advantage of being relatively limited in size due to file separate library runtime from Adobe AIR 1.0. This advantage, however, can become a real problem when it is preparing to deploy an Adobe AIR, both on the network (then the browser) is on a drive as a CD / DVD.

Flash CS3 Professional: not formatted code

Saturday, March 1, 2008

Who knows why I imagine Adobe with a list of bugs on the increase?. The bug that I found, as CS3 Professional Italian, is very troublesome and dangerous. Look at the following code:

PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
  1. getRandRange ( min :uint, max :uint ) :uint { private function getRandRange (min: UINT, max: UINT): (UINT
  2. uint ( Math . floor ( Math . random ( ) * ( max - min + 1 ) ) + min ) ) ; return (UINT (Math. floor (Math. random () * (max - min + 1)) + min));
  3. )

After the automatic formatting:

PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
  1. getRandRange ( min :uint, max :uint ) :uint { private function getRandRange (min: UINT, max: UINT): (UINT
  2. Math . floor ( Math . random ( ) * max - min + 1 ) + min ) ; UINT return (Math. floor (Math. random () * max - min + 1) + min);
  3. )

He removed the brackets in calculating max-min+1 That, of course, no longer returns the correct value! The bracket is vital because it allows multiply Math.random() the entire result of the (max-min+1) In the second case, after the code was "sformattato" Math.random() multiplied "only" max and then, the outcome of this material is removed (min+1) I explained only for reasons of completeness ... but I think that was clear to all ...

Obviously homemade Adobe really think that math is an opinion?
This is a dangerous bug on codes bodied ... If formatting "disturbs" the code, it becomes a serious problem going to throw everything's OK! I hope that Adobe supplies as soon as a patch! Then WARNING! Let me know if he does to you, your version ...
