Twitter has added a new feature. I'm not sure if this is just the ability to identify a retweet with an icon or if it goes further than that by giving us back a portion of our precious character count when retweeting. I guess we'll see. If it's the former I'm not sure it's an added benefit to me. The latter absolutely is.

SWFAddress 2.4 is fairly new and most people who want to implement SWFObject under it seem to like the dynamic version so I had a little bit of trouble finding good info on these specific versions. The general info did seem to work out all right but it would have been nice to have seen a more specific example, so here it is:There are plenty of examples implementing either one of SWFObject or

Using either pure ActionScript or the Flash IDE, there is a trick to loading a SWF generated from a Flex Application from within a Flash/AS SWF. When loading a Flash SWF any developer can use the following code: var loader:Loader = new Loader(); var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.anyurl.com/test.swf"); loader.load(request); addChild(loader);If the test.swf has public functions

Today one of my colleagues asked me how to make an array out of attributes from nodes in an XML object in ActionScript 3. After some discussion and searching on E4x he found the solution in many places across the web. The key is the following line of code:xml.nodelist.@attribute.toXMLString().split("\n")The split string function does exactly as you might think; takes a string and splits it on

IBM is in talks to buy Sun Microsystems as early as the end of this week. Current information puts IBM's bid over Sun's market cap at $6.5B.http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123735970806267921.htmlI'm interested to know how this could impact the RIA world as we know it.

I spent a good day or so trying to figure out why my stage dimensions were so out of whack when I compiled my Flash AS3 project out of FlexBuilder 3. I tried specifying the width and height in the HTML, I tried setting the stage dimensions via this.width and this.height, I tried combinations of various width and height settings all to no avail.I searched with a plethora of keywords "actionscript
