		<title>AS3 Simple Button: breaking all rules</title>
		<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>

		<title>Flight {heart} 360&#124;Flex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got word that I can pick up our Flight t-shirts on Friday. 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). The ZenStudio design tool was built on an earlier version of Flight and the ZenPrint guys [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Are Namespaces All About?</title>
		<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).
(when reading this article it will help if you already have some familiarity with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Groove Envy</title>
		<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>

		<title>She&#8217;s a Modern Woman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
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.

		<title>Custom Binding Released!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Delivered as promised. It has a smaller memory footprint, a faster clock-speed and, best of all, it&#8217;s 100% weak-referenced. 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>

		<title>Finally! Undo in Flash/Flex TextFields</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of those things that the browser has built in that you wish would just work in Flash - a simple TextField undo &#038; redo. My brother recently released a really slick solution to the problem. It isn&#8217;t a UI component - it sits above the display list and works with all types of Flash [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flight Framework: Early Beta.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It isn&#8217;t easy for me to release code that isn&#8217;t finished, so I&#8217;ve had many projects come and go without ever seeing the light of day. But not Flight, not this time.
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>

		<title>360&#124;Flex: Speaking on Undo &amp; Redo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And such a nice conference! I&#8217;m pleased to say that I will be speaking at the best conference around for Flex and Flash developers. The presentations at this conference have real depth for developers, and this year looks like a great lineup: the schedule.
My topic is on a subject I&#8217;ve dealt with frequently. Over the [...]]]></description>

		<title>AS3 Button Behavior Made Easy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I posted a rant on &#8220;releaseOutside&#8221; earlier this month - finally, here is the example and the code for making anything a Button in ActionScript 3. 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>
