List’s Custom Cell Renderer and RadioButton
Posted by zeflasher in Actionscript 3.0 on May 7, 2009
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? Read the rest of this entry »

ECMAScript 4 – Goodbye…
Posted by zeflasher in Actionscript 3.0, News on August 15, 2008
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.
AS3 – Lowra and Flex
Posted by zeflasher in Actionscript 3.0, News, lowRa on July 9, 2008
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

It’s been a while since I blogged. Working like hell and have no time for anything else :/
But I had to talk about the initiative of Mike Chambers and the tostring.org website.
The purpose of this website will be to list the open source books available on the net and also translate them into non-english language.
