When developing Flex and AIR applications for clients / customers it’s always nice to deliver a structured structured Flash Builder project with well documented sources.
Similar to JavaDoc for Java, Actionscript has the opportunity to use a tool that generates HTML files in which you can navigate through all your project packages, ActionScript Classes and MXML files. ASDoc is essentially a command line tool, but you can configure Eclipse / Flash Builder in such a way that you can run ASDoc with a click of a button. This example show you how to do this.

I’ve written a few posts about the AdvancedDataGrid, including one where you can show a Tree inside of it. I’ve never written a post about the iconFunction though, so I thought it would be a good idea to do that. This post described how you can use a Tree in an AdvancedDataGrid where the Tree Node icons are dependant of XML node name and other data in the XML element.

One of the additional controls you get from the AIR runtime is the HTML control. The purpose of this control is very straightforward: show webpages or other HTML content, using it for that single purpose is straightforward and easy, but you can do some more advanced stuff to, for example filling in a form and simulating button clicks from actionscript.

While I was developing in the new Flash Builder 4 / Flex 4 environment yesterday, I tried to use the baseColor property on the s:Application tag to give it a default color, just like I explained in this example.

A while ago, Adobe announced that Flash player 10.1 was coming to Google’s mobile OS Android. I was very happy at the moment: finally I could start building some nice mobile apps using Flex and AIR. A couple of weeks later however, Adobe said that they were not going to support “old devices” like my HTC Hero that’s only 6 months old now for performance reasons. So essentially, i’m fucked and need to buy a new phone again if I want to do some mobile development.
