Air beta 2

Adobe released there Beta 2 runtime. Release notes are on labs . (here :)) . The doc says:

Support for AIR Beta 1

AIR Beta 1 will expire on December 11th 2007, so all applications that you have created for AIR Beta 1 need to be migrated to AIR Beta 2 if you want to run your applications after that date.

So do it as soon as possible. :) there are few changes.. minimised to systemtray functionality added ,initialWindow tag added in the descriptor , changed to http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.0.M4.

Details are on labs.

Ptraco on http://www.airapps.net/

Got an early information from sagar that, they (airapps.net's ppl) took our app and kept it on the site, :) is it not cool? Nobody from us ,neither me nor Sagar submitted Ptraco there, somebody from airapps.net came to sagar's blog and got the details about it , and hence published it onto the site. It seems Ptraco has got the separate media server for itself and unlimited connections to it.

All we got to do is now..to take out the time and start working on it vigorously again.

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??
