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 [...]
This Christmas, Webapper was kind enough to shower us each with a Nabaztag/tag wifi rabbit. If you haven’t seen these things yet, they’re pretty neat… It’s got an API (along with prebuilt services) that you can call to make it do various things, like move it’s ears, light up, and speak.
Now, the API looks quite [...]
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 [...]

I’m also [...]

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 [...]
It took about 10 minutes of working at Webapper before being thrown into a Flex project. I’m new to Flex, to say the least. The good news is that I’m working on the CF side of this project, not the Flex side. What I quickly learned about Flex is that it runs into exactly the [...]
