Rien Verbrugghe — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 07:26:34 PST

This is so easy. I made a succesful AMFPHP multi file upload wich I’m using in my new release of the Rive.be CMS (clear your browser cache), by using this as a base. You can read all about it at Gertons’s blog (single file upload) and the Flex{er} blog (his multi file example didn’t work). [...]

It came a bit as a shock to me, because at first, when I was checking out my own www.rive.be in Explorer 8… I thought I did something wrong in my HTML/Javascript code. But it seems to be an issue with IE 8 on Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows Vista 64bit as far as [...]

Rien Verbrugghe — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 08:32:35 PST

Playing arround with AS3Dmod for is fun! I’ve used the “Twist” and “Bend” modifiers for the Rive.be Productbox. For the Twist I had to move the centerpoint to the bottom of the box.

In my previous post you saw how to “share” your flash applications into several platforms by using the Flash Platform Distribution Service. But one of those was Facebook. Now there’s a different way too. You can really “embed” your application within it’s own page. A Facebook Application such as the Rive.be Widget (and click “Add to [...]

Flash hash mark deeplinks not indexed by Google

Rien Verbrugghe — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 01:10:07 PST

Google doesn’t index any deeplink url passed the “Hash mark” (#) or “pound sign”. This was something completely new to me. “A common misconception with a lot of Flash developers using technologies such as SWFAddress for deeplinking.” Links like: http://www.rive.be/cms/#/Work%20Software http://www.rive.be/cms/#/Work%20Language http://www.rive.be/cms/#/Work%20API …will not get indexed by Google? Whaat? I found out about this, when watching these Adobe Flash and [...]
