Flex AS3 Password Creator / Generator

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 13 Feb 2010 in Adobe Flex/Air | 3 comments

Ever wanted to create or generate passwords within Adobe Flex / Flash Builder or AS3 ?

Well it’s quite simple to do this.

You only need 11 lines of code for generating a password (well 13 if you count the function statement)

Creating a Unix Time stamp with Flex

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 10 Feb 2010 in Adobe Flex/Air | 0 comments

Just added a nice little code to create a unix time stamp.

The function is only 5 lines (well actually 3 without the function statement) so very small

You can find this small code here:

Flash Builder php connect error.

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 24 Nov 2009 in Adobe Flex/Air | 1 comment

Do you get a connection error in Flash Builder when connecting to a MySQL database with PhP and Zend ?

The error looks somewhat like this :

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in D:\xampp\php\PEAR\Zend\Db\Adapter\Pdo\Abstract.php on line 0

Well, then you might have configured a wrong server port.

Here’s the solution

Loading local XML file in flash builder

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 6 Nov 2009 in Adobe Flex/Air | 2 comments

There are a few ways to get a XML file as dataprovider within flash builder. Some people asked me how to do that in an easy way.

Well, in Flex Builder there actually was no easy way. You had to code it all yourself. But with the new Flash Builder you can do it pretty much automatically.

In this small manual I will tell you how.

At the Adobe Max

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 3 Oct 2009 in Adobe Flex/Air, Adobe Interactive Forms | 0 comments

So, let’s put a quick 2 days here.

Yesterday, was awake for more then 23 hours. Got up in The Netherlands at 6 AM(CET), went to sleep in LA at 5 AM(CET).  The flight was good, but long… 11 hours. But it passed quick because they gave me lot’s and lot’s of food and drinks , and they showed a lot of movies (instead of 2 movies and old series, like the brochure said). (I hope they do the same on my way home as one of the movies is then….. Star Trek !)

What also surprised me in the plane was that all the beautiful female stewards, where or old, or fat or ugly. Don’t misunderstand me. They were very nice, caring and good at what they do…. but….. old, fat, ugly or a mixture. The only attractive steward on board (well bit attractive) was the male steward. But hey I am straight, so only the female passengers had all the fun.

When I arrived in LA it was almost 5PM and I arrived at my Hotel at like 5:30PM.

After arriving at the Ritz Milner Hotel I brought all my stuff to my room and went back downstairs to take a look at the city.
