Today I got a request to change the “Loading” text in the preloader of a Flex app. To my surprise, I didn’t see any examples on how to do this, so I thought I’d share my results.
When you like the existing preloader, but want to just make little tiny changes to it, here’s what you [...]
So, as of today, it seems like FlexCamp Boston is going to be one of the best values of 2007. Ok, maybe the $10 fee is a little more than that of ApolloCamp, but take a look at what all FlexCamp is going to offer. Not only does FlexCamp have some great topics for [...]
It seems that a lot of people, including myself, are clamoring for Flash on the iPhone. I’m highly disappointed in Apple for claiming to have the “real internet” on the iPhone, but then they leave out the one standard that is on a good number of websites, and is pre-installed on a majority of new [...]
Joe Berkovitz had an article published on DevNet some months ago, but I just tripped over it now. It has a stunningly good description of MVC (and MVCS) along with a succinct diagram that is the best I’ve seen for the concept.
I’ve been using Cairngorm, but seeing another Flex-based MVC architecture is always good [...]

I am first and foremost, a ColdFusion developer. And I’m a little idiocyncratic as to how I organize my projects in directories and files. My “project root” is not web-accessible, but usually contains ALL the project assets, including CFCs, CFMs, etc.
I got really annoyed that Flex Builder put everything in my workspace when creating a [...]
I’m now packing my bags, and making sure I haven’t forgotten anything. I’ll be representing Webapper at both 360Flex and Apollo Camp. I’ll be imbibing as much Flex and Apollo knowledge as possible, and am looking forward to meeting many of you I’ve been talking with on the mailing lists for the past year.
I’m also [...]
I was more excited about the FB3 to FB5 presentation than this presentation, but a lot more people have requested the materials for this one, so here it is.
Download here Integrating.zip
The presentation didn’t have a working sample application, but inside, you will find the handful of example files I showed, as well as a PowerPoint

A few of the Webappers had a rousing discussion about testing, specifically the various kinds of testing, the various roles involved in testing and the various technologies used in testing.
For my part, I’ve been investigating Selenium, but “doh!” I can’t use Selenium for testing Flex apps. Or can I? What about the Flex-Ajax bridge? [...]
In June of this year (2006), I (Nat) got a ring from a fellow in town who had a client who needed a health-care related site rebuilt from scratch to support new functionality. At my previous company, we had a number of these, which always ended up relatively enjoyable projects for the simple fact that [...]
Or, “Installing Flex Data Services 2 Express as a Windows Service”
This guide is for those who know nothing of Tomcat, yet are sick of having a command prompt in the background when you are trying to work with FDS. I’ll assume that you’re running Windows, and that you’re doing this on your local machine, so [...]
