Blog: Adobe's disappointing results http://is.gd/aBOp |
Eco-friendly PDF. Just downloaded Nominet's Industry Report PDF http://is.gd/akp3 - says "this paper is 75% recovered fibres" :-) |
Blog: Sun's JavaFX, another go at applets http://is.gd/ae2w |
I'm having trouble viewing videos on JavaFx site, which use the new runtime (it installed OK). Overloaded? Should have used YouTube :-) |
Sun's JavaFX is launched http://is.gd/1bE4 |
What's new in Flex 4 - good summary from Matt Chotin http://is.gd/a2K3 |
my last session #maxmilan - what's new in Flex Builder 4. |
is it my imagination, or is MXML getting more like XAML? Lots of new graphical elements, expressiveness, in MXML 2009 #maxmilan |
Great session on what's new in Flex 4 from Matt Chopin - couldn't tweet cos no power and wifi poor (hope Adobe is listening). #maxmilan |
asked whether Tamarin open source code is identical to what is in Flash Player - Jim Corbett says yes, but not always in synch #maxmilan |
Indexing Flash content: virtual user that actually runs the code in a "search player" so that dynamic content is indexed, not just static. |
Pixel Bender is multi-core graphic effects engine in Flash Player - can actually use this for a kind of multi-threading for math operations! |
FP GPU mode (hardware rendering) can even be slower because it renders some stuff that is later overlaid and invisible. Software avoids ...... |
hardware rendering in Flash Player - much faster but might look "a little bit different" from software renderer #maxmilan |
More on Alchemy on the Reg http://is.gd/a0Qb |
Loader.unloadAndStop() - brute force method of freeing everything - walks displayobject tree frees everything possible |
must set references to null in AS when done with them otherwise garbage collector will not free memory |
Adobe is putting more of its runtime into AS rather than in the Player - keeps core runtime size down - means size claims misleading? |
Flash Player is essentially three parts: two VMs that execute bytecode (one AS3, one earlier), a display list, and a renderer |
AS3 optimization: use typed objects, seal classes, use vector<> not Array, avoid globals, use compiler strict mode #maxmilan |
