I'm having trouble viewing videos on JavaFx site, which use the new runtime (it installed OK). Overloaded? Should have used YouTube :-) 7:53 AM Dec 4th from twhirl |

is it my imagination, or is MXML getting more like XAML? Lots of new graphical elements, expressiveness, in MXML 2009 #maxmilan 4:21 AM Dec 3rd from twhirl |
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 4:18 AM Dec 3rd from twhirl |
asked whether Tamarin open source code is identical to what is in Flash Player - Jim Corbett says yes, but not always in synch #maxmilan 12:53 AM Dec 3rd from twhirl |
Indexing Flash content: virtual user that actually runs the code in a "search player" so that dynamic content is indexed, not just static. 12:42 AM Dec 3rd from twhirl |
Pixel Bender is multi-core graphic effects engine in Flash Player - can actually use this for a kind of multi-threading for math operations! 12:38 AM Dec 3rd from twhirl |
FP GPU mode (hardware rendering) can even be slower because it renders some stuff that is later overlaid and invisible. Software avoids ...... 12:35 AM Dec 3rd from twhirl |
hardware rendering in Flash Player - much faster but might look "a little bit different" from software renderer #maxmilan 12:32 AM Dec 3rd from twhirl |

Loader.unloadAndStop() - brute force method of freeing everything - walks displayobject tree frees everything possible 12:29 AM Dec 3rd from twhirl |
must set references to null in AS when done with them otherwise garbage collector will not free memory 12:25 AM Dec 3rd from twhirl |
Adobe is putting more of its runtime into AS rather than in the Player - keeps core runtime size down - means size claims misleading? 12:22 AM Dec 3rd from twhirl |
Flash Player is essentially three parts: two VMs that execute bytecode (one AS3, one earlier), a display list, and a renderer 12:18 AM Dec 3rd from twhirl |
AS3 optimization: use typed objects, seal classes, use vector<> not Array, avoid globals, use compiler strict mode #maxmilan 12:16 AM Dec 3rd from twhirl |
