New Position

I have been absent for a while from posting but I’m back and I’m going to start hitting it hard. I’m changing careers right now and I’m going to become a Lecturer at IUPUI in Indianapolis starting on August 1st. I’m still going to do application development but more on my own time. I’m working on two mobile apps that will have a desktop counter part, just so you know.

Herff Jones (where I work presently) is a very good place to work. The people here are great and it was a hard choice to leave, but in the long run teaching will suit me best.

I look forward to the new challenge and I hope I can teach a few students a couple of things. :)

360 Flex

I ventured out to Denver last week to attend the 360|Flex conference, and I must say I saw a lot of cool new features coming in Flex 4.5. Not to mention some great speakers.

If you like, or already ready mobile applications then you are going to love the new features that are coming out in this release. All the components are optimized for mobile and when you set up a mobile application you only see the optimized components in the lower left.

Also in 4.5 are some new code completion short cuts. I have seen this in a few plugins so I’m glad they finally ported them over to FlashBuilder. Just a few are things like, cmd-1, and it will generated a handler for you or a new variable whichever you want. Little things like that can save a lot of time for a developer.

The release is coming in May so I hope you like what you see. If I listed some of the new things that are coming out in this post, it would be to long to read.

Custom PopUp using Flash Builder

I just up loaded another tutorial. In this tutorial I talk about how to create a custom PopUp and turn it into a modal. Then I show you how to close the PopUp. This will come into handy in games or anywhere you need a menu or splash type screen.

Hope this helps.
