Article about PureMVC on heise developer
I have recently talked a lot about Flex Application Development with PureMVC. So this will probably be my last iteration for a while about the framework.
I reviewed all the diagrams and explanations of my presentations in the past and put the good stuff together in this one article.
AIR Native Menu Flex Bug on OSX 10.6
I had a few problems with native menus on the mac recently. Some of them were menu items, that didnt react on user input (the menu shortcut did however). Another bug, which only occured on 10.6, was that the native menu of my AIR app was showing 2! mac system menus (1 normal and 1 small apple icon) and also the whole application crashed, when using specific menu items.
However, I reported the bug to Adobe and received the answer a couple of hours later:
The key thing is to not replace the NativeApplication.nativeApplication.menu. Instead, you want to modify it, for example by inserting your own menus into the existing root menu.
For example, if you want to replace the “standard” File menu with your own, you would do:
var rootMenu:NativeMenu = NativeApplication.nativeApplication.menu;
rootMenu.removeItemAt(1);
rootMenu.addSubmenuAt(menu, 1, "File");

RIA Summer Jam 09
Rich Internet Applications oder kurz RIA stehen für technisch anspruchsvolle,
multimediale Anwendungen, die innovative Möglichkeiten bieten Ästhetik und
Funktionalität miteinander zu verbinden.
In Kooperation zwischen der Adobe Flex User Group München und P//MOD ist die Idee
entstanden den RIA Summer Jam ins Leben zu rufen. Dabei soll die RIA Technologie
nicht ausschließlich unter den Aspekten Design und Technik fokussiert werden, sondern
auch die Bedeutung und Herausforderung für Marken in den Vordergrund gestellt
werden.
Auf dem RIA Summer Jam präsentieren Profis aus den Bereichen Technik, Design,
Marketing und Projektmanagement das Thema Rich Internet Applications auf 2
Präsentations Tracks.
Im Anschluss an den Event gibt es dann die Möglichkeit beim BBQ auf der
Dachterrasse die Eindrücke des Tages weiter zu vertiefen.
Der RIA Summer Jam 2009 findet am 12. September 2009 in München statt und ist
kostenlos.

Frankenface iPhone App
Take pictures of the faces of your friends, family members or colleagues. Frankenface clips the portraits into 3 segments that can be swapped to create new weird faces. Possible combinations become infinite the more pictures you add.
Exchange the different parts of the faces to discover amazing results over and over again. If you want you can leave the choice to the app by shaking the device. Frankenface will use your pictures to randomly generate a new freaky face combo.
The app is built on the cocos2d graphics framework.
Sounds interesting? You can download it right here from the app store.
