George and I (we founded UDzone.com together) are seriously considering to open a new zone: www.MXzone.com. It should focus entirely on everything related to Macromedia MX and Studio MX, so Dreamweaver MX, Flash MX, ColdFusion MX, FireWorks MX etc etc. That also includes CSS, DHTML, extension development, ASP.NET, PHP, JSP, Flash Remoting, integration and whatever […]

I finally have a second monitor attached to my pc. It’s a Medion 15 inch TFT monitor. Coding in flash is now much easier than before (1, 2, 3) with one monitor: Much more overview, less switching, more productivity so more fun.

Branden’s Components Rant. Amen Branden, I felt the same last week.

So I’ve been studying that architecture over and over again and I am learning lots of things from it. I am still not able to […]

We launched v2 of our Zones today! If you have not done yet feel free to have a look at one of the zones: UDzone.com, DWzone.net, FWzone.net or FLzone.net. In my opinion the new Properties are a great improvement, especially because they are linked to the extensions MXP files. Let me know what you think […]

It’s been a while since I updated my blog. Reason: I am very busy improving my Table View component. It’s going to be an awefull cool Flash component, but I want the inners to work more like the components that shipped with Flash MX. I printed out all those component classes, am studying them now […]
