mxmlc: fitter, happier, more productive
Below is the presentation I'll be giving tomorrow night at the Boston Flash User Group, Brightcove edition. The avid fan will notice that it's partially material rehashed from this blog. But I investigated a few new things, and the discussion...
My Requests for the Flash Platform
Ted Patrick wrote last month about The Future of the Flash Platform and asked people to be more vocal about the features and bug fixes they're looking for. Here's my in-depth lobbying session. Below are my top requests for the...
Flex Compiler Extensions
In the latest Flex 4 SDK builds, you can write Flex compiler extensions which allow custom Java code to be inserted into the compiler. This is thanks to SDK-18718 and the work of Andrew Westberg. I'm very interested to see...
I'm on The Flex Show
I'm on the latest episode of The Flex Show, where I talk about making changes to the Flex SDK and the Faster Flex 3 SDK. It was a lot of fun to do the interview with Jeffry Houser and John...
Flex SDK Hackery
I presented at the Boston Flash Platform User Group (Brightcove office edition) tonight as a last-minute fill-in. I put together the following presentation which gives details on making changes to the Flex SDK. It doesn't have too much information in...
Flex 4 Compiler Speed
The piece that I've been most excited about in Flex 4 is the faster Flex compiler. So I was interested to see Enrique's post on some of the speedups. To quote, "The performance test suite went from full compiling in...
A Faster Flex 3 SDK
At Brightcove I've spent some time creating faster Flex 3 SDKs by merging some changes from the Flex 4 SDK. It's not a lot of changes, but it makes a fairly significant improvement in compilation speeds in Flex Builder. I...
Flex 4: Two-way Bindings and Other Improvements
Reading through the subversion commits, I've seen a number of interesting changes for Flex 4. Carol Frampton added inline support for two-way binding. Using the syntax of "@{expr}", you can now more simply support two-way binding. Paul Reilly has submitted...
Flex Compiler Resources
The Flex Compiler Design Document has generated some more interest in learning about the Flex compiler. Here's some resources to learn more: I've written a little bit about the compiler myself in two posts (here and here). You can always...
Random Compiler Thoughts, Part II
I went to the first Boston Flex User Group meeting last Tuesday, and I took some notes through Pete Farland's presentation. This is more of a ramble on the compiler than on the presentation (similar to my previous post on...
Decompiling AS3 and Random Compiler Thoughts
When the Flex compiler was open sourced, I wanted to get my hands dirty and make a change or two myself. In the first week I dug into the source and looked to make a change to decompile (or rather...
Open Source Flex Compiler
Flex 3.0 and AIR 1.0 are here. Congrats to the teams, and I hope they're all getting some sleep now. Even more interesting to me is the open sourcing of the Flex compiler and framework. It's something which may get...
Open Source Flex
Perhaps I'll be making changes to the Flex compiler once again. The Flex SDK is going open source. This is a great day for Flex! A few random thoughts: 1. I think the biggest change for a long time will...
Speeding Up Builds with the Flex Compiler Shell
Two Flex projects were recently released on Adobe Labs, Flex Ant Tasks and Flex Compiler Shell. You would expect the Ant tasks to be the more exciting of the two from the build perspective, but the compiler shell (fcsh) could...
Incremental Compilation from the Command-line
A not-well-known but powerful feature of the command-line compiler is the "incremental" parameter. You should add this parameter to any command-line compilation that you call frequently. Flex Builder uses a version of this feature to speed up its compiling. It's...
Roger's Blog, Flex Conference, and Being Back
I'm back and blogging, having finished my five-week trip and come back to only seeing India and China at lunch. Matt beat me to the punch, but I noticed that Roger has a blog: Interesting Flex/Flash hacks that are occasionally...
Speeding Up Mxmlc
Since this page is still very popular, I want to make clear that the change described below is for Flex 1.5 and does not work in Flex 2. The Java class for mxmlc in Flex 2 is "flex2.tools.Compiler", and Flex...
