Its something same like “We want change” said by Obama. Here i can say like “We want standard for video tag in HTML5″. The draft of the HTML5 specifications released today with some new features. This specification has introduced new tags called <video> tag, <audio> tag and etc. This could be a very needful features for now. But i don’t think, the way they are enhancing is good. Especially the video tag depends other players like Flash Player or Quick Time Player. They have written conditioned code within the video tag. This could be really a drawback of this standard.

It helps me something good to format my code files (.mxml and .as) with a standard procedure, nice plug-in. It supports both standalone Flex Builder and Flex Builder Eclipse Plug-in. Here is the plug-in update site URL for this Flex Formatter.

This could be a nice idea for saving a DisplayObject as an image file. Here i have done a sample workout which saves a DisplayObject (mx.controls.TextArea) as a PNG image file.  In the meantime, we can save all the DisplayObjects as an image file, but the DisplayObject should be implemented by IBitmapDrawable interface.

Adobe extends the features on Flash Player in the every version and some of the features modernize the web development works. In Flash Player 10, it allows to access the local content via Browser Dialog, At the same time, we can not access the local content by action script from Flash Player without the knowledge of user, so its pretty secure. Usually, in order to load/display a image file (jpg or png) from local computer to Flash Player, we had to load that file to server, and then we need to download it from the server over HTTP to load into the Flash Player. Its pretty unnecessary process for just display a image into Flash Player.

I just creating a simple flex Hyperlink control (same like HTML anchor control) on the request of one of my friends. please go through this link.

Yesterday, i found the Flex Builder for Linux on Adobe Labs. Since i am a Flex Developer i would like to install Adobe Flex Builder Linux(alpha) in my Ubuntu OS. I have noticed here that the Flex Builder Linux is a plugin-only version of the Flex Builder, the desktop version for Linux not yet released. So i need to install Flex Builder as plug-in on the Eclipse IDE.

After the complete installation of the Ubundu, i tried to login with ‘root’, but i dont know the password. I don’t think the installation process of Ubuntu asking the password of ‘root’. I installed the Ubuntu via Windows using wubi.exe(dual boot) and it asks for personal username and password in the installation wizard. i used the same username to get in to Ubuntu.
