Cool feature in Flex 2's debugger

Submitted by Falken on Tue, 24/10/2006 - 10:07.

As I run Linux at work, I use the command line 'fdb' tool to debug running Flex applications, and for a long time have been swearing at how it dumps variables, and doesn't let you run public getters:

(fdb) print max
$4 = [Object 1600218345, class='Date']
(fdb) print max.getTime()
Variable getTime unknown

Torchwood

Hmm...
Captain Scarlet is looking for the (sorry, a) Doctor, and has lost Babylon (sorry again, base) 4. Meanwhile The Abyss meets Species to make rat jam :-)

Very nicely lit, looks certain to fall into the alien-of-the-week trap though, which is a shame as the writing is great.

In other news, caught the first episode of a fab 'toon on CITV around 4 on Saturday - 'Skyland'.

Two mxmlc command line options everyone should use

Submitted by Falken on Fri, 20/10/2006 - 14:45.

Here are two things you really should have on your mxmlc Flex 2 compiler's command line: incremental and optimize.

One makes it faster for you to compile, and the other faster to run for your users.

A good week continued

The latest Flash Player (9) is out for Linux. As that's where I spend most of my time, this is great news, and also shows Adobe is really serious about making Flash run everywhere.

It may only be a beta, but I've had zero problems, the install is as easy as can be (put one file in one dir.), sound Just Works, Flex 2 applications Just Work, it's as fast as the Windows version, hasn't crashed etc.
