I figured, as I have spare time today, that I’d start documenting the outcome of visiting the Adobe onAIR tour 2008. It was a pretty big event, in terms of the broad range of sessions, so it looks like I’m going to have to cover it in a few posts, rather than one very long one. I may not document it all, as a couple of them were talking pretty fast, and I’ll try to find as many resources from there as possible.
I am also aware that Simon has two …
Hi.
My name is Simon Shand and I’m going to be writing here from now on along with Lawrence.
So to get started I’ve got a pretty cool thing to talk about, and I’ve already talked about on my other blog and that news is that Adobe has released Adobe TV!

For those who don’t know, Adobe AIR stands for Adobe Integrated Runtime, which is a way for existing designers or developers devigners (thanks Lee) that work …
There are a considerable number of options to complete this, and I’m sure that I’ll cover them some other time. However, in the mean time, I’ll show you the easiest way. The topics you should learn from this tutorial are probably as follows:
PHP Basics
PHP Simple concatenation
PHP Variables and super-globals
Passing data to flash
If you’re interested in passing variables straight through Flash, you can use loaderInfo.loaderURL; - for more information see Bruce’s comment. It’s worth noting that this works with AS3/CS3 only.
This involves PHP, so please check and be sure that your …
Today, I spent a significant portion of it surfing the net, and I couldn’t help but notice a constant supply of ads, becoming more and more prominent on the web. At first I thought, well it could be a fluke, but after the amount I’d seen rose above 10, I knew that the place had changed. Even Google are doing a Flash Video Ad service.
