News.Flash MX:Yet another way to generate reference documents.

Philter has developed a parser to parse the flash doc style comments in your actionscript. Using his parser you can generate gModeler XML. You already know that gModeler can generate reference XML. Combining this two tools we are getting complete solution for free. On behalf of all the users let me thank Philter and Grant Skinner for all their efforts.

News.Flash MX: New Open Source Socket Server for Flash.

If you are building multiuser applications you might be interested in Oregano Multiuser Server, which was released last week. You can download it from www.oregano-server.org. It is completely free and Open Source and has an extensive feature set (automatic synchronization of data, integrated database connectivity, serialization of ActionScript data types, clustering, etc.) and it comes with a 150-page Reference Manual. Give it a try.

Code.Flash MX: Updated my ActionScript() function.

Arrays and Functions can have other properties attached to it. But my .toString() method and ActionScript() function does not account for it. Now I've rewritten the code to include those other properties as well. Also now it takes care of the properties with undefined values. Take a look at the new ActionScript() function here.

News.Flash MX: Extended Textfield to get pixel coordinates of characters.

Converting x,y position in a text field into index and vice versa is very useful. Flash Coders with Director background already know the advantage. With this we can create text rollovers, place emoticons and pictures in line with the Textfield.
I came to know about it through one of the FlashCoders email, Eric Westra has created a component which extends the Textfield to have the following additional methods.

countRows();
findVisibleIndex();
addRowHeight();
positionToIndex();
positionToIndexRow();
indexToPosition();
findNextRow();
getWidth();

I haven't tried it yet. Try it your self by downloading TextFieldExtension.mxp.

Demo.Flash MX: Unicode escape notations generator.

As I mentioned already, for using Unicode characters in the FLA file the only way is to use notations. Here I have made an application which can convert the typed string into the escape sequence. Once I add some more functionality to it I will add to the services in this website, until then use the application below.
