Adobe MAX SF day 3
Jan 15th
最後一日 MAX 今年有 d 唔同~ Sneak peak session 同 General session 逼埋o係同一日 第三日變左只係得堂上~
其中一堂講 Flash player 10 最新既 text engine 同 text layout framework Text layout framework 可以話係現有 text controls o既加強版 可以 support 到更加多o既文字效果
- multiple column (重點係 support 自動換 column 仲有 multiple column selection 仲可以 self define irregular shape columns)
- support 打直寫某 d 字~ 例如中文同日文 (大家以後可以唔駛靠 enter 靠行黎打中文喇)
詳細可以參考 Adobe Labs http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/
其他時間就同 Way 作最後衝刺 Adobe MAX 有個傳統 就係要行攤位儲印仔換禮物 外國人比較得意… 佢地會直接行去人地個檔度要人印… 然後即走… 我就覺得起碼都要聽下人地個檔講 d 乜會比較有禮貌…
結果終於儲齊~ 換到o既係一副 Adobe MAX 啤牌 A J Q K 係 AIR Flex Photoshop 同 Flash Joker o係 MAX More >
Adobe MAX SF day 2
Jan 7th
(抱歉… 太忙喇… 遲左好多先出 post…)
第二日又黎喇~ 精神都算唔錯~ 今朝o係 marriot 食早餐 原本諗住會同會場的有 difference 但係都係食o個 d 野… 生果… 硬飽… 奶… 茶… 果汁… 比較好o既係果汁係樽裝~ 可以拎走飲~ 仲要係 tropicana~ 正
朝早上 Flex testing o既 session 之前寫 Flex application 都比較少考慮 testing 呢個 session 對我黎講都幾重要~ 不過上完之後就會發覺 testing 唔應該係事後先去做… 而係要由 Day 1 開始每寫一 part 就要寫返相對應o既 testing module… 基本上工作量係 double 或者 triple~ 因為除左 unit test 仲有 function test, etc… 講真… 有幾多 company 會考慮到同埋 afford 得起呢…
下一個 app… 如果我有時間的話我都想認真的做一次…
跟住就係 General Session 2~ 一開始由 Flex Builder product manager Tim Buntel 講解 Flex 講講下突然之間部機好似比人 hack 左咁~ 之後有一個神秘人 The Chief (Kevin Lynch) 話依家 computer field 有好多問題出現~ 要 Tim Buntel 諗辦法去解決~
之後燈光一暗~ 音樂響起~ 開始播片~ 感覺係非常超人特攻隊~ More >
Adobe MAX SF day 1
Dec 9th
MAX 終於開始~ 去到 Moscone 就見到 Kai~ 佢同佢太太一齊去 MAX~ 真係開心
之後即刻上二樓食早餐 同之前一樣… 硬飽… 果汁… 咖啡… 奶… Somehow 我總係覺得唔會夠飽…
食飽見未夠鐘就去左 community lounge 一入到去就見到熟識既面孔~ John, Sumi, Craig 同 JD 都o係到 總係覺得見到佢地就 = 見到 Adobe community~ 哈哈
打完招呼傾左一陣就要趕去聽野 第一場係 Flex testing~ 都 ok~ 之後就係精采o既 general session~!
一如以往~ 未入到門就聽到好激昂o既音樂~! 一入到去真係好震撼~ 3 個 main screen 加兩組 side screen main screen 係山峰藍天白雲~ 一堆 Adobe product logos o係天度飛~ 好型~ 跟住所有 screen 會好似老虎機咁轉 d product logos 然後中間加插 30onMAX o既 video~ 好彩無拍者… 唔係比人 post 出黎好攪笑~
開場~ 有 DJ Mike Relm 用 30onMAX 既 video 表演捽碟~ (事後睇返 wikipedia 知道 Mike 係 VJ More >
Google 同 Yahoo! improve Flash indexing
Jul 1st
今日 Google o係 webmaster central blog 公布左佢地已經 improve 左 Flash content 既 indexing power 所有 version 既 Flash content o係唔需要改動既情況底下都可以得到更好既 indexing result
同一時間 Adobe 亦o係 Adobe Developer Center 發表左 SWF searchability FAQ 裡面除左有耳熟能詳既 marketing slogan 之外
The openly published SWF specification describes the file format used to deliver rich applications and interactive content via Adobe Flash Player, which is installed on more than 98 percent of Internet-connected computers
亦有提及到背後既原理 以及 Yahoo! 都會於稍後 update search engine
的確~ 咁多年以黎 Flash 都比人彈 SEO 每一次我幫人做 project analysis 既時候 第一句都係問 “application base” 定 “content base” 今次呢個 news 的確幾吸引~ 但係問題係唔係就咁就解決呢?!?! 我地係唔係唔再需要寫特登寫 XHTML version / XSL / 一大堆 supportive More >
I am going to Adobe MAX to MIN (Blog Entry for MAXUP)
Sep 22nd
MAXUP Barcamp Ben Watson’s We Demo You Going to MAX
Well… The title seems stupid but the actual meaning is not. I am going to Adobe MAX to learn more from the conference and from the other participates. (Of course I will share, in case I am not the least knowledgable one in the event) With that knowledge I can develop even more applications (mainly open source~ nah), so that all the users can minimize their effort, their pain, their time in making great works. That is why I am going to MAX to MIN~
Okay~ Is time talking back the application More >
TEXTFORMAT and STYLESHEET
Jan 16th
Before talking about the already finished prototype 0.3, I think it is better to pin point on the two troublesome items as stated in my heading. That is the TEXTFORMAT and STYLESHEET classes within Flash.
The reason that I want to talk about these is that these two little item (seems like little…) troubles me a whole week to work on it. I dont know why, however it seems that Macromedia do have a lot of bugs in these two classes.
First, let me introduce these two classes.
TEXTFORMAT
- A class that is used to apply text formats to a textfield on the stage

THE SECOND COMPONENT – COLOR SELECTOR
Oct 14th
The requirement specification is still on the way, hopefully can release a draft version within this week. It is quite difficult to write down all the requirements so as the application flow.
Besides the requirement specification, another new Flash class is in psuedo code stage now. This is another important class / component in my FYP application, the color selector. It is used very widely for the user to choose their favorites when building their web.
A problem is found when designing which is quite interesting.
When I want to change a movieclip’s color inside Flash, I have to say something like setRGB More >
NEW TECHNOLOGIES KEEP ON COMING…
Oct 9th
In September, a new shock came to me – Macromedia Flash 8.
I have used Flash 8 Trial version for quite a while. The feeling is that there are much enhancement in graphic section. Let say one of it is the Bitmap class. This Bitmap class is capable to export the current Flash’s content pixel by pixel to other application~~!!
This morning I have read the Macromedia Edge Newsletter which announces another two great products – Macromedia Flex 2 and ActionScript 3.0.
Oh my god… Should I try them in my FYP when they release?? Arrr~~~!! Such a hard decision…
