In the application I’m developing I need a panel with a list, listing companies.
I have created custom cell renderer for this list. Each custom cell renderer has an instance of a RadioButton.

So the first problem:
Saying you have this list displaying 3 rows ( but have more ). You have selected the first one ( so in the custom cell renderer the radiobutton.selected is set to true ). Now you are scrolling down… and you will see the 5 items in the list having the RadioButton selected as well… What the heck? (more…)

It’s been 4 months since I bloged.
The main reasons are I have a baby ( 4 months now ), I’ve been to a trip in Europe for almost 2 months, …
I have waiting post, but today, while reading my late feeds I’ve discover something crazy that I had to put here to spread the word.

It all started here: http://www.darrelplant.com/blog_item.php?ItemRef=1263
And continue on Aral website

A little resume.
A company ( Sys-Con ) has created a website called Ulitzer where 6000 authors contribute. The thing is they agregate feeds or steal content from blogs.
Some people found out about this ( as Aral ) and asked them to remove them from their db. And this company, started difaming those well know and respected authors( Ted and Aral as an example )
A nicer resume by the inquisitr: http://www.inquisitr.com/20925/sys-con-caught-operating-a-massive-splog/

Please read it and spread the word.

The biggest event you can go to, better than any FOTB or Max…

My first child is born… Oscar, 53cm, 3.480Kg, born the 22nd of November.
He’s a lovely boy, doesn’t cry at all (except when he’s hungry of course) and smile a lot. He just loves life

Oscar just couple of hours after the birth

Who are you, you?

I’m in love

Yes, there is a svn with gumbo alpha out there.
It’s here SVN GUMBO

Thx to iteratif who pointed this out on the FCNG google list

Yeah, you read it well…

Forget about ECMAScript 4 and stuff you may have learned while using language based on its draft ( yeah for instance AS3, Javascript 2.0 ). The ECMAScript 4 has been reject in favor of small changes to ECMAScript 3.1. This has been decided at the Oslo meeting.

Here are the main conclusions( check the post on the mailing list ):

So yeah, goodbye package, goodbye namespace, …
As everyone, I was pleased that Adobe based AS3 on a standard, but now that ECMAScript won’t be, what will happen to AS3?

Adobe plans was to deliver a language based on a standard. So will they drop package, namespace and all ES4 features to meet the ES3.1 requirement and so step back? Or maybe try to find another standard close enought to ECMAScript 4 to base AS4 on? Or just continue developing their ( now ) “own” language?

In any cases, that’s just sad. Sad for all the developer who have invested time into this draft, sad for all the companies that bet on it and sad for user who have learned it…

And ( I didn’t wan’t to put this in my post but can’t help it ) you can probably thanks a big company that has a browser having 80% of the market that insisted they would never support EcmaScript 4

Update
Here is Adobe answer.

They will continue AS3 based on ECMAScript 4 and push it forward.

Yes, finally!
The book will be printed by Pearson. For now though, just in french.
You should post comment here to thanks Thibault and to ask for an english version ( maybe if there is tons of people asking for an english version, Pearson will translate it in )

Gilles Bertrand gives us some tips on how to use your favorite framework with flex.
Check it out here ( for english people just check the mxml file )
That's nice...
I was wondering how lowRa could be integrated in Flex, and have started looking for other frameworks. But it seems I won't have to change anyway.
So thx Gilles for sharing this

While I really liked the old theme, it needed some work to fit my needs... Working on it means having time to work on it, which I don't have. So I've looked around again for a theme, widget ready.
So here is the new one and a big thanx to mukkamu for this nice theme...
