scale nine...in flash

To edit the symbol in flash with scale nine grid ,so that it can be used to skin the flex component, Just do the following :

Whil creating the symbol select the checkbox which says "Enable guides for 9-slice scaling"

The post from the guy behind scale nine in flexcoders :
[
Working with rounded corners you'll want to set the left scaleGrid right after the end of the top left curve, for the right scaleGrid set it right before the top right curve starts, for the top scaleGrid set it right after the top left and top right vertical curve ends, and for the bottom scaleGrid set it before the bottom left and bottom right curves start. The artwork inside that "box" or boundaries will be the content that stretches, while everything outside of it will not. ]

New presentation tool from google :)

I use google docs,google reader regularly. While browsing across the bolgs came to know about the presentation tool from google, The Great-google's presentaion tool is awesome.

air's adl.exe

When we open the air app the adl.exe get executed and runs in background.
I was trying to create multiple windows and playing with its visibility and close event.

When one window is made invisible without closing it.There is no way to open the
window again..(because its was not closed , just made invisible.)

If you are facing the problem like this.. while development..DO NOT PANIC(As I did).
Closing of flexbuilder or anything else wont help..
Just go to the task manager and end the process "adl.exe"
I am wondering , what is the long form on adl??

Logger

So .. I wrote a logger today for my flex and air app.

If u are creating logger for the first time.. and u are on the XP
You will have to follow the following steps

1) create "mm.cfg" file in

C:\Documents and Settings\user_name

2) then write ur logger and give the trace target..
A help about creating a logger is given at felxbuilder's help
few code snippet here :

import mx.logging.Log;
import mx.logging.ILogger;
var logObj = Log.getLogger(NameofClass); // for name of class u can just pass
// application class also
// mx.core.Application.application

and in main application :

<mx:TraceTarget level="0" includeDate="true" includeTime="true" includeCategory="true" includeLevel="true"> <mx:filters> <mx:Array> <mx:String>*</mx:String> </mx:Array> </mx:filters> </mx:TraceTarget>

and thats it..
then where u will write...
trace("trace me") or logObj.info("trace me")
The messaged is pushed to logfile

The location of the log file is

C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs\Flashlog.txt

Yes .. the log folder gets created.

:) info pushes the

google custom search egine

google....

Google's development speed is more than my thinking speed.

Look at the gadget in the side bar..is it not cool?
