See it here http://www.sonatype.com/people/2010/04/flex-test-coverage-kept-simple-with-flexmojos/ I just love that feature, because in the past you had to use a modified version of the Flex SDK with an external AIR Application to do that, but now it is very simplified.

We should really learn to write good code, and with so much open source tools for code analysis we could improve it one step higher. Sonar is a tool for code quality analysis. It helps improving software quality using static analysis tools. It targets Java code, but there are plugins for Flex, C, PHP, .Net and other languages.

What was the case: We have a Button with X and Y values binded. We also set depth to this button, lets say 1. And we want at some point to change its position. The code for the whole application looks like <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="http://tgeorgiev.blogspot.com/2010/11/seriously-how-to-position-your.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Tony Georgiev)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356395816597482424.post-1573967411619175088Sun, 08 Aug 2010 22:23:00 +00002010-08-09T03:10:28.310+03:00WOW Just a couple of hours ago I wrote my last post and now another one! I was just redesigning my blog and adding new features when I saw my first post... it was written on 8.8.2009!! So it's now an year of blogging. I didn't write a lot, but I surely enjoyed the posts I have created. Let me tell you the truth. I have started this blog with the idea to be a technical blog mainly about flex, tohttp://tgeorgiev.blogspot.com/2010/08/it-has-been-good-year.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Tony Georgiev)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356395816597482424.post-3948021658616574255Sun, 08 Aug 2010 16:04:00 +00002010-08-09T00:36:49.715+03:00flexSo as you probably know, in flex 3 we could animate objects only by their numerical properties. Which for most situations is enough, like positioning or resizing component. But sometimes you will want to animate a complex object, and in flex 4 that is possible using arbitrary type interpolation. You can see this great demo on the topic on adobe tv by Chet Haase.

Well the simple answer is here: So what is this? It's a custom flex 4 layout that displays elements as in cylinder. The idea for it I got a long time ago when I saw Safari's Top Sites. Back then I managed to achieve this look and feel with flex using Papervision3D. But I didn't like the way I made it at all.
