In one of my recent Silverlight projects I had to use a ViewStack control. There is few of these already available here and there but I thought it might be fun to build new one from scratch. As image speaks more than words here is the sample.
And here is the source code.
Hope this helps anyone.
I’m sure everyone who’s interested in Flex Builder for Linux already knows that by following Twitter and Adobe JIRA. So what’s exactly happened? Today, just 5 days before Flex Builder alpha 4 was to expire Adobe released an alpha 5 update on labs.adobe.com which is going to expire in 401 days.
I have the gut feeling [...]
This week at PDC09 Microsoft unveiled latest Silverlight release – first beta of version 4. One of the new features is printing support.

D: (or whatever the drive letter of mounted CD is)

For a long time my "browser of choice" was Firefox because of fantastic Flashblock add-in. Today I found out that there is similar add-in for Safari called ClickToFlash. Here is a nice article describing what it can do and here is the link to a github project. Pefect!
Following on a tweet from Sean Corfield, I couldn’t believe it is possible to create a function called if, else, while and so on as well as declare variable called var. Here is the code that may hurt your head:
<cffunction name="if">
<cfargument name="val1" />
<cfargument name="val2" />
<cfif val1 eq val2>
<cfreturn true />
</cfif>
<cfreturn false />
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="hello">
<cfset var var [...]

I’m using Flex with ColdFusion for a long time now but sometimes I really can’t stand these two products together. I’m sending nested CFCs through the remote object back to Flex so ColdFusion has to serialize them to the form that may be understood by Flex. But I’ve got an error, somewhere I have an [...]
Today, while working on a small piece of code I discovered something that appears to be a DateFormatter bug. I was using following DateFormatter:
private var formatter:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
…
formatter.formatString = "MMMM";
to display just the month names. I didn’t really care about the year when constructing new Date so I thought I would pick 1970. [...]
There was an interesting question on stackoverflow.com today. Some unnamed user asked:
Can we change the width of the datagrid column dynamically by clicking on the border of the column in order to display the complete string which is too long to be displayed and needs to be scrolled ? If so, How ?Also, how can [...]
