Long time listener, first time caller here, I’ve been aggregated by Adobe Feeds, and im looking forward to posting a lot more relevant information related to AIR, FLEX, RIA development through my experiences and research.
Ive been looking around for a new theme for my blog for a while now, ive looked at all the posted themes on too many sites and although many of them do look amazing and really come close to what im looking for, none of them hit the mark exactly. So with that said, for those of reading this, all 2 of you

I handle shortcut keys by adding and removing key listeners and mapping them to a dictionary of available keys.

Just a quick walk through on installing subversion on a CentOS server running Plesk. What your going to want to grab is a fresh copy of YUM to handle the installation of subversion.

It automatically computes dependencies and figures out what things should occur to install packages. It makes it easier to maintain groups of machines without having to manually update each one using rpm…”
So I had one of those awful days at work yesterday, we have all been through it at one point or another, where basically for no reason at all, everything started breaking and nothing would work. All I wanted to do was walk through my application in the debugger, and what should have been a straight shot ended up turning into hours of troubleshooting my computer. The problem was when I would try to debug my flex app, safari would crash or hang or timeout.
