		<description><![CDATA[I found something funny the other day when inspecting Flash Player&#8217;s built-in SimpleButton, a standard member of the display list. Or I thought it was standard.
SimpleButton isn&#8217;t a DisplayObjectContainer, so it doesn&#8217;t have methods like addChild() and getChild(). Instead it has convenient button states, such as the upState property, that contain children in a different [...]]]></description>

Provided by ZenPrint these bad boys were designed by Bryant Robertson specifically for the 360&#124;Flex Conference (if you haven&#8217;t registered yet you better get tickets).

		<description><![CDATA[I always wondered where I would end up using custom namespaces in ActionScript 3. Now that I&#8217;ve been using them I have found a few bugs and gotchas, tips and tricks, and now I generally understand namespaces better (or think I do).

		<description><![CDATA[Jacob has been in an awesome groove lately, coding his own design engine because I&#8217;m too frustratingly indecisive to settle on my own implementation. I&#8217;ve been picking at a graphics-skinning-component-media library for way too long, always &#8220;just for fun&#8221;, so of course it hasn&#8217;t gone far. Now I&#8217;m jealous of his progress &#8230; I&#8217;m going [...]]]></description>

My daughter, the newest Mac addict. She&#8217;s pretending to work like her dad.

I didn&#8217;t realize we&#8217;d become a Mac family until I saw this photo. It&#8217;s worth mentioning that these were taken on our new iPhone.

Data binding is supposed to be light and unobtrusive. Now you can have the smallest ActionScript 3 binding available, released as a component of the open source Flight Framework.
Flight&#8217;s data binding is powerful and simple, consisting [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve posted about Flight before: it&#8217;s a simple and powerful application framework in ranks with Cairngorm and some of the newer frameworks. Here&#8217;s an [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve also added some really nice features since then. I realized after venting about dragOver, dragOut, and releaseOutside that, unless you built custom components in ActionScript 2, you probably [...]]]></description>
