A lot of people I spoke too, have been telling me Red5 wasn’t stable enough or worth having a look at, others also told me it was powerfull and that I should definitely check it out, helping me in the process. All I can say about my experience with it, is that it’s fast enough, you even get a standalone http server and it’s well documented too. I had a nice time playing with all this and can’t wait working with it on a much larger application. In the meantime, you’ll find a project here that contains 3 flex projects and java project to get all this running on your machine, there’s a text chat and two video streaming examples, hope you enjoy

If you work with Flex, you’ve probably used, still use or most probably have heard of Cairngorm…But you might be coding with ActionScript3 or might not have had either the time or need to use it or you might even be using something else. Anyway, this isn’t a post on Cairngorm, I wouldn’t be the right person to talk about it, I just wanted to say that like most other frameworks having the same goal, it often shows/teaches you great programming concepts/strategies. I reffered to Cairngorm because one of the things that I really like about it is the CairngormEvent class. Even by itslef this class is really usefull and I’ve often been using it without the rest of the framework in some of my projects … until I discovered, the mx.events.DynamicEvent class.
The name explains pretty much everything, this event is dynamic, which means you can set it’s type property at runtime as well as setting other properties you’d need to pass along to the listener, which can be usefull in some cases, and avoids declaring several event classes. This little code snippet bellow explains why I find it usefull
var event:DynamicEvent = new DynamicEvent("someType"); event.data = ["foo", "bar"]; // dispatch that event... // later... event = new DynamicEvent("someOtherType"); event.data = {name: "foo", nickname: "bar"}; // ... event = new DynamicEvent("yetAnotherType"); event.data = "foobar"; // etc..
I thought it might be usefull, for the ones like me that didn’t know the existence of this class and also made me think I really should look at the flex sdk code more often, it also is a gold mine.
Hope you’ll find it as usefull as I do. -

Although this might seem like a “first post”, it’s not. I finally took a little time to install WordPress, after having changed to another server. I also wanted to apologize to the ones who might be reading this through an rss reader for the change. I switched from TextPattern to WordPress so for the moment this blog is quite empty, but, the good news is that I managed to save the old’s blog’s database so I’ll be able to put most of the stuff that was there before. It’ll possibly take some time to also “customize” the look and feel, but I’ll do with the default theme till then, and as usual I’ll try to post interesting content, untill then feel free to comment,
Cheers
