For some time now I’ve been working on an administrative backend system. I quickly found the need to extend DB Table with more stuff than needed when I extended the Zend Framework, it’s mostly convenience functions designed to reduce repetitive code snippets...

Actually, this isn’t a contest of which is better; I just used the whole “versus” thing to lure you in. Libraries have been around for years in page layout as a way to keep commonly used elements in one easy-to-grab place...

You need to duplicate/clone a image that is loaded from a swf (a vectored image). This could be for any reason, but one situation would be for caching images.

I’m sure this little snippet of code is on a billion websites. If you only want to allow a page to run in HTTPS instead of HTTP, just add this at the top of the page.

After a small discussion about actionscript tweening with one of the other coders here I decided to write up a small tutorial on some basic tweens. Now in the last Flex tutorial we used effects to enhance the visuals of our state transitions...

This is the third piece in a snippet tutorial series about the Bindable meta tag. This time I am going to go through how to use custom events with your bindable objects.

The Flex framework has a few different components to modify the layout on the page. This small tutorial is going to go over one of those options, the ViewStack component.

The guys over at Adobe have provided us with a lot of classes that simply make our job as developers very easy. Today I am going to go over one of these classes, TextRange.

One main feature in Flex that has many many uses is States. This tutorial is the first in a multi-part series on how to use States and what they are.

This is going to be a quick tutorial over using transitions when changing states. It is going to build off the states basics from this tutorial. Again states are very useful in almost all applications and using transitions can put some nice eye candy on your application.
