Hey,
Somethings been bugging me while skinning a flex application :
The label from the selected tab from the TabNavigator component is 1px lower than the other tabs. As you can see in the example.
(It has something to to with the bottom border I’m guessing).
This can help as a visual support you are on a different tab, but I found it rather annoying, so here is my fix for it.
A quick fix by changing the “paddingTop” property.
View source is enabled so can download the example there.

MamppControl
Hey,
Yesterday I had some spare time, so I decided to take a look at the Cocoa collection of frameworks, APIs, and accompanying runtimes that make up the development layer of Mac OS X.
I’ve created this first application with XCode in Objective-C and named it MamppControl.
It allows you to start, stop, reload Mampp from the tray, with a handy tray icon & menu.
Mampp is the other name for Xampp on Mac.
XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use – just download, extract and start.
More information about Xampp here.
I know that there is a launcher includes in the xampp package, but it has no tray icon and stay’s visible in the dock.
Hi,
As a PHP developer it comes in handy to run your websites without having to upload them to your server. You can run them on your own computer if you want to, there isn’t much to it. I also like using the CodeIgniter framework for my projects, this is a really speeds up the whole process!
I will take you through the basic steps to set up your localhost to get CodeIgniter running.
1) Use Synaptic package manager to install “apache2″, “php5″ and “mysql-server”.
During the installation you will be asked to enter the password for the root user for your mysql-server.
2) Create a symbolic link, so that when you go to localhost in your browser, you get the website you want.
sudo cd /var/ sudo rm -r www/ sudo ln -s /path/to/website www
Always look before you delete something with “rm -r”, normally there should only be a index.html file in your www/ folder.
I prefer creating a link to my website that I put somewhere in my home directory, as this is being back-upped frequently, and is on another partition.

Yes, it is possible! To my own suprise, I was able to install Photoshop CS4 on Ubuntu.
I did it on a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 RC. It has known to work on Ubuntu 8.10, but it gave me a segmentation fault, probably because I had been messing around 
. I tested it with the trial version downloaded from adobe.com.
To do so, you need Wine. I will take you through the steps that I’ve taken:

A missing feature in Flex is the ability to load fonts at runtime.
‘Why is this useful?’, you could ask. Well one situation is you’re creating an online rich text editor, and you want to add a font
to the font list. You would only have to edit the css and upload the new swf instead of the whole application. Or you want a client
to be able to add fonts without him having the source code from the application.
Luckily it’s possible in Flex to load runtime CSS compiled as an SWF with the StyleManager class.
StyleManager on LiveDocs
Fonts.css Example :
1 2 3 4 | @font-face { src:url("fonts/Arial.ttf"); fontFamily:"Arial"; } |
How to compile the CSS to SWF?

What do you expect of a decent modern OS? A great browsing experience and a decent mail client. Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 I had troubles with random crashes of Firefox when loading pages, and entirely random crashes of Evolution mail client.
So I switched to Thunderbird. But then same symptoms started showing. Giving me 5-10 crashes of Thunderbird a day, and serious troubles on heavy browsing.
The first things to do when getting crashes of Mozilla products are:
I tried every possible thing I could do to fix Thunderbird or Firefox. But then again, why was Evolution suffering as well? Well the deal was that I had WINS resolution enabled in Samba. Found it in this bug report.
When upgrading to 8.10, Samba was upgraded too. This bug has been reported and hopefully will be solved in Ubuntu 9.04, launching 23rd of April.
So how do we fix this?
For an AIR application that I’m creating (more about that later), I needed some way to show the users some event happened while the application was running in the background. So what’s better on Mac OS than showing growl notifications ?
Adobe has worked together with the Growl team to add support for AIR and flash applications.
Mike Chambers has put together an open source project named as3growl which provides an API to work with the new Growl build.

Hi,
Thickbox is a very nice javascript library based on jQuery (which is also a very neat library). It is used to show images and documents in a sort of popup like Lightbox does.
Let me sketch the problem:
1) I load my page (also loading thickbox.js)
2) I change my content in one dom-element, for example a div element, through Ajax.
3) Then I want to call thickbox on an element in the new div.
You will that see nothing happens, because Thickbox hasn’t been able to register this object.
So basically we need to reinitialize Thickbox.
