Well... after a couple of weeks thinking if i should release the Zimbra ActionScript library i wrote without really testing i decided to test the mail part of it tonight and just release that part over at github.

Today i saw that Jesse Warden was reporting via twitter that he found some really strange behavior on the client property of the a NetStream. After a couple of tweets i mentioned that i had a custom NetStream class which converts those data callbacks into real events (read: addEventListener). He found the idea interesting so here it is.

I had the need to insert a reflection into a bitmap the other day so i went googling around and tried several options.

They worked very good but the problem was that the resulted reflections where not transparent at the end and since i was using a gradient background you could see the reflection shape.

This is why i created this function. Hope it helps you.

You guys may know about Zimbra already. It's an open source mail group server software that offers similar features as Microsoft Exchange.

I have done an actionscript2/actionscript3 interface to it and i'm looking for official support by them since i want to release it open source.

The other day i was chatting with a friend about element flags. I remember about bitwise flags. I was surprised he didn't know about them so i thought why not share it with everybody :)

I have experienced something that could be a bug (feature?).

For example, if you set a window's x position to 100 differs if you have specified a minWidth. Somehow i think the registration point changes.

This method corrects the bad positioning of the window:

I've been able to reproduce a bug several times with the Number.toFixed(0) method in that it returns a "." . Also from what i understand the Date.getTime() should return an int but sometimes it returns a decimal.

It's just a proof of concept but it's an antivirus done entirely in Adobe Air. Check out the screencast of it working.

I took the morning off from work in order to finally finish my actionscript msnlib for adobe air.
It allows you to connect and chat with msn messenger users within adobe air. It uses just ActionScript 3 and the air libs.
