One of the cool things about the plugin is that you can set it up to automatically format when you save a file, so your code will always conform to your company's code style [...] http://www.razorberry.com/blog/archives/2010/01/18/new-forum-open/ 2010-01-18T16:38:08Z Ash I set up a forum for the Razor component framework. If you head over there, our dedicated team of helper monkeys will be ready to answer any questions you have. For the forum, click here.

You can use the razor.controls.Application class as the base tag for your mxml, change the default namespace, and instantiate any of the razor components with regular mxml tags. The resulting swf [...] http://www.razorberry.com/blog/archives/2009/12/17/razor-components-now-on-github-new-license/ 2009-12-17T16:23:41Z Ash Its been a long time since the last update, but I recently uploaded the latest version of the Razor component framework to github, ditched the old wiki and set up a new home page. You can find more information, download the source and see a demo application here. I recently changed the license from GPL [...] http://www.razorberry.com/blog/archives/2008/11/28/max-thoughts/ 2008-11-28T22:43:28Z Ash MAX North America finished over a week ago, and I have to say, it was an invaluable experience. If you ever have the chance to convince your boss to let you go, I would definitely recommend it. If not for the stuff you might learn or pick up in the sessions or labs, but for [...] http://www.razorberry.com/blog/archives/2008/10/07/world-of-cars/ 2008-10-07T20:42:40Z Ash Friend and ex-colleague Jon Ross directed me towards his team's latest achievement, World of Cars. Based on the movie Cars, its a pretty cool 3D racing game and car customizer done in Flash. Jon tells me they used their own proprietary 3D engine, along with an isometric scrolling tile engine for the game itself. I [...] http://www.razorberry.com/blog/archives/2008/09/03/as3-removing-duplicates-from-an-array/ 2008-09-04T03:22:17Z Ash Just for shiggles (yes, I said it.), removing duplicate items from an array in one line of ActionScript 3: var arr:Array = ["a","b","b","c","b","d","c"]; var z:Array = arr.filter(function (a:*,b:int,c:Array):Boolean { return ((z ? z : z = new Array()).indexOf(a) >= 0 ? false : (z.push(a) >= 0)); }, this); trace(z); http://www.razorberry.com/blog/archives/2008/08/17/air-in-action-now-in-stores/ 2008-08-18T00:35:15Z Ash I'm super-pleased to say that Adobe AIR in Action is now available in all good bookstores (those that don't have it aren't good bookstores.. I'm looking at you, Boston Prudential Center's Barnes & Noble). I had a fantastic time contributing my chapters for this book, and even though I may be biased, I think it [...] http://www.razorberry.com/blog/archives/2008/06/06/tiny-audio-streamer/ 2008-06-06T15:03:42Z Ash I found this javascript-controlled audio streamer I made a while ago. It weighs in at a massive 1.2k and is very basic. Maybe you could make it a personal challenge to make it smaller! Download the swf here. (right click & save). Source (AS2): Main.as MiniStreamer.as How to use: Basically you need to embed the [...] http://www.razorberry.com/blog/archives/2008/06/05/messing-around-with-papervision-again/ 2008-06-05T21:53:32Z Ash Nothing too spectacular, but I threw together a new pointless animation for my front page. See it here. One day I will have enough varied content to warrant a menu or something. Here is the source, for learning purposes. It won't compile without a couple of files, but you can get the idea
