What keeping me busy?
Well, I’m working on a TextFlow-Container control. Yup. I am using the new and awesome Text Layout Framework of Flash player 10. Adobe’s demo was really mind-blowing. But the TextFlow class isn’t that easy to use, especially for noobs. I know, its not the final build and adobe is still working on it and everything. But hey, thats not good enough for me. So i’m mashing up a little something on my own. A TextFlow control which is as easy to use as a TextArea control. I’ll be posting more about that really soon.
Also on my list of new-cool-things-to-fool-aroud-with is Cocomo. I have a decent experience with weborb for .net Messaging. I was kinda sceptical for a second on how Cocomo could make things any better. Well it didnt disappoint me. I love the code part. Cocomo packs a bunch of components from Adobe Acrobat Connect like Video,Text, Voice Chat, WhiteBoard and more. There is even a FilePublisher, meaning two people can share files using cocomo apps. Cool. But how? Well, Cocomo uses the new Real Time Media Transfer Protocol(RTMTP) which, according to Adobe, is C2C (whatever the hell that is). Well its actually P2P (thats right, Peer to Peer), and Adobe is safely avoiding that name. Crazy!
Setting programming aside, I’m currently playing Gears of War. Boy, does it feel good to chain saw a locust. Also i’m on the look out for Left4Dead. Can’t wait to try that with its superb co-op mode. GTA 4 for PC is also on my Christmas wish list.
So thats it. I’ll be posting more on the TextLayout Framework. So look out for that really soon.
