News.Flash: Aral Balkan on Application Development & Architecture for the Flash Platform.

3dsense Media School people have brought in Aral Balkan to Singapore. He will be giving us a speech coming Sunday. Look at http://pixelreloaded.com/ for more details. Even if you haven't registered for the event, do come over. On the spot registration will be available, and I will also be there :)

Thanks to 3dsense guys, I met with Aral Balkan and we talked a lot. It was great talking to Aral and I look forward to talk more. We both were given a chance to know about the activities of 3dsense Media School. They are passion driven people and really addicted to their field. Seeing the 3D animation of their students tempts me to jump back to 3D animation ;)

I'm happy that they will also be focusing on flash, and will be bringing in more international flash experts like Aral to speak to us.

Bug.Flex 2: Background becomes black when defining depthColors style for Tree Component.

It used to work fine before (in Flex 2.0). Now with Flex 2.0.1, it renders as shown below when we define depthColors attribute for Tree Component

depthColors="[0xFFFFFF, 0xF2F6F7, 0xEDF5F7, 0xE8F0F2, 0xD3E2E6]"

If I find any workaround I will update this post. If you know a workaround please post it as a comment

Tools.Flex 2: Enabling Run Mode Trace in Flex Builder 2.

As you know trace messages are shown only in Debug Mode in Flex Builder. You can follow the steps shown below to see the trace output in Flex Builder all the time.

Open Window > Preferences... menu

Select General > Editors > File Associations in the Tree

Add *.swf as the New File Type

Select the newly added *.swf file type and Add "Internal Web Browser" as the Associated Editor

Download the TracerV2.swf from this site. Read this blog entry for more info.

Using File > Open File... open TracerV2.swf

Configure the TracerV2.swf and follow the steps as shown

Move this TracerV2.swf for your convenience

Now you should see the trace output from any swf played through Debug Player as shown below

Thanks to Veejay who made me think of making Tracer panel more usable.

By the way, Happy 2007 :)
