FlexMonkey

Posted by Mark - 12/12/08 at 03:12:56 pm

FlexMonkey is a way of performing Unit testing on Flex projects.  It looks interesting, and is something we’ll have a look at when we get a few more Flex Projects through production…

How to make the Flash CS4 Help and Language reference available offline.

Posted by James - 10/12/08 at 03:12:41 pm

In CS4, the help system in Flash is set to online by default, which means pressing F1 opens a new browser window, takes you to LiveDocs and, most of the time, gives you no useful information whatsoever – and takes over half a minute to load.  Luckily I came across the following comment in the article http://labs.bigspaceship.com/2008/12/09/air-app-as3-language-reference/;

I should note, however, that the local copy of the language reference still exists with CS4. I wrote a post a while back detailing where it can be found for both OSX and Windows:

http://www.jonnymac.com/blog/2008/11/04/offline-help-and-language-reference-location-in-flash-cs4/

The difference is that CS4 automatically tries to send you to the online copy first. You can also access the local copy by telling Flash to “keep you offline”:

Go to Window > Extensions > Connections. In the panel that pops up, click the arrow at the top-right and select “Offline options”. From there you can check the box for “Keep me offline”. It will then always default to using the offline help. However, it may also prevent you from using any other panels which call out to the internet, such as Kuler.

Hope this helps!

Got satisfaction? GetSatisfaction.

Posted by James - 10/12/08 at 10:12:07 am

My first introduction to GetSatisfaction came through Flex My Day, and it all looks pretty cool.  The company/service is all about providind a medium for companies with large consumer bases to get in touch with what their clients actually want, which I guess would represent a pretty big investment for a company to figure out and build such a service for themselves, and is probably no small part of GetSatisfaction’s success.

For a company like where I work our clients don’t really fall into that category, so I can’t see us being interested in the service, but there’s some pretty big names on their roster.  The developer tools look pretty cool, and coupled with Flex My Day’s Flex class libraries, I imagine it might be a cool base to make some sort of customer feedback AIR tool-thingy.
