ImageSizer — and beyond(!)

Posted by James - 29/07/10 at 12:07:06 am

It’s been a couple of years since I either started working on ImageSizer or it went public (I can’t remember which) and development has stalled a bit – but now I feel it’s time to get things back on track.  So here’s the plan.

ImageSizer, now.

ImageSizer is now up to version 0.6.1 – not that the version numbers are anything but arbitrary, of course.  You can import images, rotate them, crop them and resize the lot and output them to your machine.  It works, but the code is a little out of date now, my code-signing certificates are out of date, and I really want to try something new.  So… Continue reading ImageSizer — and beyond(!)…

A more advanced StarRequests, Simple-Box2D & Flickr example.

I’ve basically updated the code a little and swapped out the rectangular Box2D objects for star-shaped Box2D objects, and the code is available on GitHub: http://github.com/psyked/StarRequests-Examples/tree/master/Box2d-Flickr-Shapes/

Fixed: mx.accessibility:LabelAccImpl could not be found.

This came up while converting a Flex 3 AIR project to a Flex 4 AIR project.  Luckily, the solution is all in the publish settings.

Uncheck the box which says ‘Generate accessible SWF file’ and the error will go away.

Simple!

Mark (of MarkStar.co.uk) has been working away on his pet project “StarRequests“ for a little while now, so I thought I’d give it a whirl and see what he’s come up with – and of course, what I could come up with off the back of it.  This is the result; a Flickr image loader, with a smidge of Box2D mixed in to make it all seem more interesting.

An incomplete review of books on iPhone Development.

Posted by James - 26/05/10 at 11:05:25 am

Those are the three books I have stacked on my desk, in accordance with my recent iPhone development news [link].  I’ve been reading them quite a lot over the last few days, so I thought I’d post my own opinionated summary of them.

It’s finally happened. My tithe to Apple has been paid, and my iPhone has arrived on my desk.

Link: Firebug: Beyond console.log()

Posted by James - 24/05/10 at 09:05:07 am

Firebug can do more than console.log(), it seems.  Here’s a great article on just what it can do:
