		<title>Quick Reference: Method Closures From The Ground Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although for the most part I understood what method closures were all about, if you had asked me to define exactly what one was, I previously would have stumbled, so I thought I'd solidify my knowledge a little by writing a quick post - I'll keep it as short as possible! Functions vs Methods Just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flash Debug Player Causing Firefox Crashes &#8211; A Fix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Problem If you've updated to a recent version of Firefox and also use the Flash Debug Player to debug Flash &#38; Flex apps, you may already be painfully aware of the recent changes to the way Firefox 3.6.6 handles its plugins. Now, rather than simply alerting you,  letting you dismiss the error and continue on [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Few Swiz Tips For Beginners</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Swiz Beginner's FAQ When I started to look in to Swiz for the first time the other day, I had a few questions; Some answers were found in the official FAQ, and others elsewhere (mailing-group, web searches etc). I thought I'd collate what I found most useful, in to an easy to digest post that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using &#8216;Proxy&#8217; For Loading &amp; Accessing Config Files</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Configuration Files Externalising some of your application's settings in to config files is something most (hopefully all) of us do when writing Flex &#38; AIR apps. It becomes almost essential when writing apps that may be moved around (e.g.  say your place of work has a development server, a UAT/staging server and a production server [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using WebOrb with AIR (Step  1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[I'm using the .NET version of WebOrb but this should be generic enough to apply to all versions] Examples Work For Flex But Not AIR When you load WebOrb you get access to the 'weborbconsole' which is a Flex app that runs on localhost). In the 'Getting Started' section of this app there is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>If WebOrbConsole Doesn&#8217;t Load</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I installed/enabled WebOrb for .NET &#38; IIS7 on a Windows7 machine. Initially the WebOrbConsole page ( which is a Flex app ) loaded without issue, but at some point after a reboot I revisited the console page and it was blank ( ie  I saw nothing but the default blue Flex background; the console [...]]]></description>

Today I installed WebOrb for .NET on Windows7 (IIS7). I was given a .dll file which I put in my bin folder and I renamed the .dll (bad move!  I was [...]]]></description>

Most certainly not (no USB, no SDcard, no multitasking, no Flash, no camara,  yet another data plan. Meh.) Is the iPad for my mum?  Nope.

		<title>Creating read-only bindable properties in Flex.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There may be times when you use an implicit getter/setter to take advantage of data-binding, but you'd prefer the property to remain read-only to the outside world. When trying to do this many people initially attempt the following: [Bindable] public function get someValue():int { return _someValue; } private function set someValue(value:int):void //&#60;-- 'private' access modifier [...]]]></description>

Recursively searching a users hard-drive for files of a particular type I'm still playing around with the recording format to see what works best (feel free to let me know). [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flash vs HTML5 &#8211; a few points for HTML5 advocates to consider :)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For any developer worth their salt, it will ALWAYS be about using the right technology for the job. Because I'm primarily developing on the Flash-platform I'm looking for areas where I see the Flash-platform as being beneficial over other current technologies. I'm not a fan of all-flash websites, but I've found the platform perfect for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seemingly Bizarre Type-Coercion Error</title>

About an hour ago I started work on a new class and ended up with quite a strange error message which looked a little like this (the names have been changed to protect the innocent) TypeError: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Project.folder::MyClass@2d28301 to Project.folder.MyClass Spot the oddity? Cannot convert Project.folder.MyClass@2d28301 to Project.folder.MyClass.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Filtering an ArrayCollection On Multiple Properties/Values</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my application I have an ArrayCollection containing some objects. I only want to display certain subsets of these objects in certain view components, and I can achieve that by applying a filter function to the collection, but sometimes you may wish to filter on multiple properties or property values. First, let's take a quick [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adding a Namespace-Qualified Attribute Using e4x</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just wanted to write a quick post, mainly to serve as a reminder for myself :] I was asked to generate some XML (in Flex) which returned &#60;nodeName xsi:nil="true"/&#62; for any nodes that didn't have a value assigned to them (actually in our case we wanted this where the value was 0). Apparently, in .NET [...]]]></description>

		<title>Restructuring XML To Make Your Application More Flexible</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to post my thoughts on this while I'm still fresh from a debate about XML structures. Keep Your Application Dumb To Data Specifics (where possible!) When structuring data for a view I am a keen believer that the view (in our case Flex) should know as little about data-specifics as possible. By this, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Presentation Model &#8211; post #3</title>

Rather than expect you to just wade through the code, I've created an accompanying screen recording which highlights the main points. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tip: Override Event.clone when redispatching event objects</title>

Event.clone If you've ever looked at the documentation for flash.events.Event you may have seen that the class has a method called clone which you can override. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Presentation Model &#8211; post #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my last post I offered up a very simple example of the Presentation Model. Below is a simple, but slightly more complex example containing three NumericStepper components. It will hopefully highlight some of the subtle decisions you need to make when implementing the PM. The NumericStepper values must total 100; Their backgrounds go green [...]]]></description>

Although I still use PMs, they are sometimes really helpers that are not quite following all the rules. David Deraedt also has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Updating A PieChart In Real-Time (the easy way)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I was coding away. What I was trying to do was simple but it highlighted a personal hangup. I have a tendency to only use MXML for Visual stuff, so much so that it clouded a simple solution. The view I was mocking up contains a PieChart and some NumericSteppers (the PieChart needs [...]]]></description>
