(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 >

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 >

呢期興 Touch~ 首先係 Apple iPhone~ 跟住係 Microsoft MultiTouch Table~ 然後係 HTC Touch~ 仲有 Apple iPod Touch~

但係估都估唔到… ActionScript 3 都可以 MultiTouch…

然有 d 窒下窒下~ 但係都叫做 work~! 有時真係好想可以參與下呢種唔係用錢字行頭既 development

Flex FAQ #3: 點樣用 Flex FileReference 下載檔案

Aug 17th

Posted by Vicker in Flex

No comments

本來呢個問題應該好簡單~ 基本上一個 ActionScript developer 可以即時答得出

var t_file_ref:FileReference = new FileReference ();
var t_url_request:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("some_path/some_file.type");
t_file_ref.download (t_url_request);

但係原來o係某 d 情況佢係會 malfunction 既… 而且係你估都估唔到~ 加上玩足你幾個鐘…

為免大家中招所以寫左呢個 example

Please enable Javascript and Flash to view this Flash video.

睇落好似無分別~就算 click “這個不能下載” 都出現左下載畫面但係當你以為 download 左既時候… 你會發覺乜都見唔到…其實問題係在於 FileReference o既 instance declaration method如果o係 function 裡面 declare 既 temporary variable當 function 完成之後 FileReference instance 就會o係 select event 之前消失結果… download 左個桔… 解決方法係將 FileReference instance 放o係 class member variable

public class some_class
{
    private var _file_ref:FileReference;
    function some_function ()

今日黎左兩本書… 唔知點解用 Amazon 訂書寫 CityU 地址特別快收到書… 比起 Amazon 既 estimate date 早左 17 日…

話說前排部 Mac 機個九方過左期… 結果好耐都無打 blog… Ahem… 算吧啦… (你買左成個幾月喇)

上年十月誤打誤撞之下破天荒得到 FSE 同 CS 一齊資助我去左 Las Vegas Adobe MAX conference 其實真係十萬個榮幸… 講到底o個時我已經唔係學生… 又只係一個極低層員工… 有得去真係好珍惜~~!!

搭左十幾粒鐘飛機… 再加上 Las Vegas d 的士司機既 “厚待”… 再再加上o個邊 d 消費指數… 當時真係想即刻返香港… (今年 MAX 2007 o係 Chicago… 去唔去好呢…)

講返個 conference~ 外國 d conference 真係好正~ 頭 3 日朝早都有 Keynote session~ 好似做 show 咁~ 個 stage 又大又 pro~ 音響又勁~ 入場已經好有 feel~ 而且場場都 dem 好多正野~ 特別係 last day sneak peek~ 睇到呆晒… content 就唔講喇~ 差唔多半年前既 sneak 依家先講咩 =.=||

一個香港人無啦啦咁過去… 除左 John 之外我都唔知同邊個講野好… 始終自己都係 d 唔會主動攪關係o既人… 唔… 點樣改變下好呢…

o係 John 介紹之下識左 Tekono 既 More >

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 >

PURE ACTIONSCRIPT vs FLEX vs LASZLO

Is been a while since my last blog. It is because other assignments hooking me quite a while slowing down my FYP progress. I will chase back this week ^^

Last week Andy have given me some wiki references on AFLAX. Having some research on different kinds of technologies and development methodology, the following is my little comparison on them.

PURE ACTIONSCRIPT

  • ECMAScript-based programming language
  • control Macromedia Flash movies and application

Advantage:

  • flexible and can perform all of the functions in Flash
  • able to have more rigid linkage between the objects inside the movie and the objects’ class
  • only Flash player (free) is enough to use the compiled More >

NEW TECHNOLOGIES KEEP ON COMING…

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…
