Flash - Vicker's Coding Kitchen

RIA Development 之愚見

近來無論係 Facebook, Twitter, RSS, Newsletter 全部都係o個幾種 heading... "HTML5 kills Flash" "Apple is evil" "Goodbye Flash" "I won't buy iPhone anymore" 首先我呢一篇文並唔係想再起爐灶引起另一場罵戰只係純粹以一個 web developer o既角度去講下自己o既諗法我唔係想借呢篇文章去教大家點樣揀 technology 只係將我自己所遇到o既一 d 經驗同大家分享識得我o既人都知道 Vicker o係 Flash / Flex o既死硬派 (其實我只係唔鍾意寫 Java 者... 但係唔代表我唔會寫.

Flex FAQ #8: Font Embedding 全集

尋日要幫一個 application 做 font embedding 主要係想 embed 楷書其實 font embedding 本身並唔係一件難事因為 Flex 本身已經 support~ 但係 embed 得黎又要控制好 file size 就唔簡單~! 至於楷書o既問題就更加多... 應該 specific d 講... 係 Microsoft o既標楷體o既問題更加多... 由淺入深~ 1) Flex 直接 Embed font 方法主要有兩種 1A) Flex CSS refer local font** o係 CSS 裡面 declare font-face 然後 source

Adobe MAX SF day 3

最後一日 MAX 今年有 d 唔同~ Sneak peak session 同 General session 逼埋o係同一日第三日變左只係得堂上~ 其中一堂講 Flash player 10 最新既 text engine 同 text layout framework Text layout framework 可以話係現有 text controls o既加強版可以 support 到更加多o既文字效果 * multiple column (重點係 support 自動換 column 仲有 multiple column selection 仲可以 self define irregular shape columns)

Adobe MAX SF pre day 1

期待已久既 trip 終於都到左 Adobe MAX 2008 San Francisco 2 年之前去 MAX Las Vegas 見識到好多野特別係學左 Flex… 可以話係完全改變左自己既 programming path 今年都希望可以再進一步深造下~ 當然啦~ 去之前大約都估到今次 MAX focus point 會係 Thermo 一早去到機場~ 同之前一樣搭機鐵~ 其實都諗左好耐搭唔搭巴士~ 但係最後都係機鐵算… 最緊要快到左機場會合阿 Way 然後去左 2 號大樓食餃子~ $40 有麵有餃 (8隻) 真係好抵~!! 不過成個機場o既冷清程度真係有 d 害怕 d 餐廳阿姐每日都唔知點過日子… 上到飛機見到個全新o既 Cathay Pacific shell

Yahoo! 立法會選舉 interactive Flash banner

幾個月之前透過 blog 識到一位 designer Bryan (哈哈~ blog 的確有佢 networking 既用途~ 就算你幾個月唔 update 都好 =.=||) Bryan 想我幫佢手為 Yahoo! 香港既立法會選舉網頁寫一個 Flash 既 interactive banner 一聽到 Yahoo! 就二話不說即刻應承~ 相信一定係好好既 experience~ (結果… 唔… 原來係咁… 真係估唔到…) Anyway… 講返個 banner Banner 裡面其中一個 function 係要將一 d avatars randomly placed in 一個 specified area 起初我只係用簡單既切餅方法將一個長方形切成等份然後 randomly place d

Flex FAQ #3: 點樣用 Flex FileReference 下載檔案

本來呢個問題應該好簡單~ 基本上一個 ActionScript developer 可以即時答得出但係原來o係某 d 情況佢係會 malfunction 既… 而且係你估都估唔到~ 加上玩足你幾個鐘… 為免大家中招所以寫左呢個 example 睇落好似無分別~就算 click “這個不能下載” 都出現左下載畫面但係當你以為 download 左既時候… 你會發覺乜都見唔到…其實問題係在於 FileReference o既 instance declaration method如果o係 function 裡面 declare 既 temporary variable當 function 完成之後 FileReference instance 就會o係 select event 之前消失結果… download 左個桔… 解決方法係將 FileReference instance 放o係 class member

時光倒流第二集 - Thanks FLABER

"點解會寫 FLABER 呢?" 呢個係每次比人訪問既必答題~ 4 年 CS 既生活~ 有一樣野我自己唔係咁開心既~ 就係唔可以寫自己鍾意寫既 language C++, 68000, JSP, Servlet, etc… 就係無 Flash… 當然啦~ 我完全明白 CS 教 Flash 係無可能既事所以呢 4 年我都不停咁自己爭取o係唔同地方用 Flash Year 1 o個陣 take 既 Internet Communication 我寫左一個 pure Flash 既 web Year 2 CCIV 我用 Flash 整 navigation menu

重返 EE

其實都無再上 EE (Experts Exchange) 一段長時間最主要既原因都係因為自己實在無咁多時間其次既係 EE 慢慢開始行 business 既路~ 當然~ 佢咁做好應該~ 但係我就寧願花時間o係 non-business 既 channel 上面喇~ 不過岩岩收到 Flash 既 editor MHenry 既 email 話有人既問題無人答到~ 哈~ 咁耐以黎都以為 MHenry 係隱形人佢出到聲~ 都要比下面既~~ 答就答左喇岩定唔岩~ 聽日揭曉

Adobe MAX 2006 Scheduler

其實應該尋晚 post 出黎~ 不過太夜所以今日先 post Budget 既問題困擾左成個幾禮拜總算告一段落所以都正式 register 左 Adobe MAX~ reg 完之後第一件事就係要用佢地 provide 既 scheduler 黎排 session 唔睇都唔知… 差唔多有一百種唔同既 session 可以 reg… 由 acrobat -> breeze -> dreamweaver -> flash -> flex -> xml 再由最簡單既 get started -> intermediate -> advanced

YouTube…

我諗 YouTube 對所有網民都唔會陌生其實 YouTube 成功之處唔單止係有一個 space 比人 share 而係利用埋 Flash 係 browser 唔會有 source 既特性對 video 既 link 隱藏~ 令到 d 人非要上佢個 site 睇不可~ 呢種做法好定唔好真係見仁見智… 不過對我呢 d Flash developer 黎講都係無用 XDD 因為只要將佢個 swf 既 player download 落黎再用 decompiler decompile 左佢其實唔難搵到佢個 link 既 logic 究竟係乜~ 哈~~ 不過呢個世界又點只我諗到呢樣野呀~

TEXTFORMAT and STYLESHEET

Before talking about the already finished prototype 0.3, I think it is better to pin point on the two troublesome items as stated in my heading. That is the TEXTFORMAT and STYLESHEET classes within Flash. The reason that I want to talk about these is that these two little

PROTOTYPE 0.2

This version is a simple upgrade of the prototype 0.1, which involves the editing and saving function. The workflow is as follows: 1. User using the original Flash navigation menu 2. User suddenly want to change the menu layout 3. User click on the “Action Mode” button 4. Flash

Learning from others is the best way to learn something. At least I think so. Sometimes we dont only look at those good designs, but also the bad ones. So that we will keep in mind that we will not follow them. Web Pages That Suck is a web that
