20 Sticks Game

An interview candidate recently used the 20 sticks game to show us how cognitive learning theory works. Made me wonder if I could throw something together in Flex which was similar. This is the result of my work.

Accepted

Got some great news today in that my idea to Adobe Labs was Adopted!

SWF Metatag Generator

Getting frustrated by the lack of metatag generators in Flex I decided to build my own AS3 SWF metatag generator. Code has been provided as an FXP in case anyone is interested.

crossdomain.xml file to the rescue!!

Actionscript/Flex Font Library

In search of a method to embed fonts into an Actionscript project I came across many posts out there touting the ability to embed fonts into an Library or SWC and use them across multiple projects. After many attempts using the various methods I wasn't pleased and couldn't get things to work. So in an all out effort I combined them all and suddenly everything worked
