( look for “secure.php” for an excellent example of code )
Bug in AS3 Loader class ?
Tried to debug a piece of code that didn’t trigger the completeEvent. In stead I reverted to the plain old width check.
Why is this old bug still alive and kicking?
private function progress ( e : * ) : void
{
if( loader.content != null )
{
if( loader.content.width > 0 )
{
complete(null);
}
}
}
Papervision 3D workshop London
What an intensive 2 days, packed with awesomness 
Ralph Hauwert really showed off the updated and new features in PV3D 2.0. We got the chance to goth in depth info about the engine, the how’s and the what’s.
On the train back I created my own little galaxy with stars and planets, lights and shaders in about 30 minutes. Just to say: 3D is coming your way – fast!
Thanks Tim for the good nights rest I got to spend at your appartment and nice to meet your roommates too!
Also had a good time throughout the second day with Matthew.
PV3D course in London
I’ll be in London on December 11 & 12 for a 2 day Papervision 3D course lead by Ralph Hauwert. Always exciting to get into depth with such fine developers for the Flash Platform. The first PV3D projects are allready delivered, but I hope to refine the techniques and avoid certain culprits I encountered in the past.
The countdown has begun!
Liquid Components
Didier Brun just released some demo’s to his “Liquid Components” set.
What can you say? Very extensive, usable, designer – and developer friendly AS3 UI components …
And all off it soon available as an open source project … Where do these guys find the time?

A Regular Expression for valid email addresses
I’ve used this snippet quite a lot lately when developing AS3 projects:
private function isValidEmailAddress( s : String ) : Boolean
{
var pattern : RegExp = /(?:\w|[_.\-])+@(?:(?:\w|-)+\.)+\w{2,4}/g;
return pattern.test(s);
}
Content-aware image resizing projects
Quasimondo has posted a huge improvement over Joa’s resizing code. I first saw this on Digg, but now it has been ported to Actionscript! What a fine year this has been so far. AS3 has made so much possible.
