Here are some of the details: bbc article Good luck, Ireland. posted July 29, 2005 | permalink | comments (4) ## Actionscript Uml Roundtripengineering Currently i'm playing around with the uml sofware Enterprise Architect by Sparx Systems. It features roundtrip engineering of Java and C#, say, you can create code from the model and you can create a model from code. Even creating models from jars seems to be possible, but i haven't tried it yet. Wouldn't it be great to have such a tool for ActionScript? If all of us fill out this request form, maybe it becomes reality.

I also created a page at the osflash wiki containing all the details. If you have written some unittests for the flashplayer and want to share them, let me know. I'd happily integrate them into the testsuite. So all the compiler developers and users can benefit from it.

In Flash we can see a similar phenomene - the multiuser server. Whenever a flash developer and a java (insert your favourite language here) programmer team up, the first thing they create, is a multiuser server. Now tell me about your multiuser server. Comments are open. Cheers, Ralf. posted July 21, 2005 | permalink | comments (2) ## Strong typing vs. productivity Brandon Harper posted some thoughts about an article about strong typing vs. strong testing written by Bruce Eckel I share some of the feelings. Some time back i converted some complicated code from AS1 to AS2 and as it turned out, no single type error was in the code before. So basically static typing added nothing but additional work. Also in my experience productivity is much lower using a statically typed language, because very often we have to invest a lot of time and effort just to come around the limitations of static typing. Think about type safe container classes for example. Extensions like "generics" in Java don't seem to add a lot to the beauty of a language. One problem remains though: The silently failing flashplayer. posted June 22, 2005 | permalink | comments (4) ## Mtasc Hacks against 1.08 updated I just updated the hacked version of mtasc. I changed my workflow to keep up with the changes of the original source. To achieve that, i reintegrated all the hacks into the current cvs version of mtasc. Additionally i added a prefix "rb_" to the new options. This way we avoid confusion with future extensions of mtasc. These are the additional options: -rb_check_void_parameter : turn on checking of void parameter -rb_preprocessor : specify the commandline to invoke the preprocessor -rb_check_constructor : turn on checking of constructor -rb_assert : specify an ASSERT function -rb_pass_param : specify a parameter to be passed to main -rb_main_entry : specify main entry point -rb_script_limits : specify script limits 'max_recursion_depth :script_timeout_seconds' -rb_single_class : : output single class only Cheers, Ralf. posted June 21, 2005 | permalink | comments (1) ## Clean flash architecture @ rocketboots Robin over at rocketboots converted a little flex application to a flash application. It is based on the mvc framework caingorm. It is a very nice and clean example of using mvc in flash. If you want to take a look at the source, follow Robin's comments to his article. If you have downloaded caingorm 0.99 you have to replace all references to the package com.iterationtwo by org.nevis in Robin's source because caingorm has relocated.

Having a working ide and a compiler is really just the beginning of our journey. But imho he misses the essential point of open source: Open source is about beeing able to change everything to our need. Beeing able to directly change the compiler is a great opportunity. Beeing able to add any features to your ide is a wonderful possibility. Sure, we need to produce flash after all. But if you are a mediocre programmer, it shouldn't be to hard and time consuming to change the tools to your needs. I'm missing one thing though: How can we feed back our changes to the community. Mailing lists and blogs are not a good tool to spread code changes. I wonder what processes the os community has developed for this case. Comments are welcome (for a short time), Ralf. posted June 16, 2005 | permalink | comments (14) ## First African Flashconference! I just received the following mail from the organisators of the first african flash conference. I wonder if i should attend?

Today i found a new method to call the method and assign it to an interval in one go: Return arguments.callee from the function. [code] function test(){ trace("hi"); return arguments.callee; } setInterval( test(), 1000); [/code] Hehe, r. posted November 20, 2004 | permalink | comments (7)
