Blueprint

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 05:40:25 +0900

Blueprint is a plugin for Adobe Flex Builder 3 and Adobe Flash Builder 4 that allows users to query for Adobe Flex and Adobe Flash code examples found on the Web directly inside of the development environment.

Blueprint is the result of just a fraction of all the research work of Joel Brandt, Ph.D. candidate at Stanford's HCI group. Joel came in to Adobe as an intern last year, the idea for this project was born. Only in the very last bits of his research a couple of months ago we actually started coding it. I worked on the Design, engineering and front end development of the plugin. Of course, this project could not have been done without the immense help of Mira Dontcheva and Ivan Cavero Belaunde.

Read about this project in this technical report on Blueprint (PDF Link) and learn more about Stanford's HCI group work on Opportunistic Programming.

Information Visualization: a personal retrospective

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 06:18:50 +0900

A personal recount I wrote for Inspire, the website of the Adobe XD group.

"First off, let me start by mentioning that I am not a scholar. I'm a wanna-be architect who turned to graphic design, trying to escape the world of physics and mathematics, who eventually started scripting, then programming, and finally ended up architecting immense visualizations of data from both databases and realtime streams."

Finally I will be demoing the work I did for the Encylopedia of Life project we demoed at TED this year, at the conference within the conference, the FITC Unconference at Adobe MAX on Wednesday. We've been extremely busy preparing for this. Not only I'm presenting 3 times, but I also have been involved in a demo for the Keynote on day one plus another one on day two.

Debugging AS3 with firebug's console

Sun, 25 Mar 2007 12:45:41 +0900

Most probably you've already heard about firebug, if you haven't, I really recommend you go give it a spin right now.

Basically, firebug let's you lift the hood in your browser and see pretty much everything that's happening in there. It lets you edit, and monitor all HTML, CSS, Javascript live in any web page - it even lets you edit those objects on the fly!

It also gives you a fantastic console that lets you expose information about what's flowing through your scripts. Adding a global variable named "console" it exposes many methods that allow you to write to the Firebug console.

The really cool thing is that from flash you can call "console" using ExternalInterface, and any object you pass will be dumped as if it was a javascript object.

try it out:

ExternalInterface.call("console.log",{foo:123,bar:"da",boo:{da:12,beh:[123,145,"dfa",{fa:[0,1,2,4,5]}]}});

and you will see the output in the image above.

not slacking!
