It had been quite sometime since I got the book, Malgudi Days by RK Narayan, as a complimentary copy for my Membership at CrossWord.

CF Structs, uppercase and Flash Remoting

Friday, November 12th, 2004 - 6:41 am

Today, I saw a post from Jesse on Case Sensitivity in Unexpected Place: XML Object. This reminded me of a small issue that we faced while on some projects where we have used ColdFusion for Flash Remoting. This might be helpful for some people out there;

ColdFusion seem to have an issue when dealing with flash remoting, wherein, the names of properties in any structs returned by the remote methods, get converted to uppercase.

Diwali Gifts from Macromedia

Thursday, November 11th, 2004 - 8:06 am

It seems Macromedia ain’t tired of gifting us. On this fateful day of the Diwali (Indian Festival of Light), I got another boxful of gift from Edward Sullivan (no courier charge this time). My best guess, when I saw the courier guy on the door with the big box, was that my copy of the free commercial software from Team Macromedia Management, but it turn out to to be something else.

There are 4 T-Shirts, 2 copies of MX Developer’s Journal, Macromedia Flash for Windows and Macintosh (the Analysis Pattern is not included, that is the one I am reading currently), two CD-case, RoboDemo, RoboHelp and many ball-point pens. I will be gifting away all these in the next IndiaMMUG meeting.

Garfield the Movie

Sunday, November 7th, 2004 - 3:27 pm

One of the very noticeable glitch was whenever Garfield came in close interaction with other actors in the movie. It looks like he is inside a big liquid glass cage where interaction happen within that thin film and do not really touch Garfield at all. It as seen very clear that there was a big gap between Garfield and the actors touching him.

FlashInCrypt

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2004 - 7:20 pm

A very cool tool was found recently and it went away with a thumbs up on all tested counts. Even ASV and Flasm were left bewildered and they cannot open the file obfuscated with FlashInCrypt. No obfuscater was able to escape ASV or Flasm before but this one is proving to be a must-have, real obfuscater.

But then, there was one worry before we embark on the test, “What if it could not read and interact with the external configuration xml file” that usually happen on all projects here. Fortunately, the swfs obfuscated with FlashInCrypt was able to work very well with the external config xml. So, it proved successful in this scenario too where the internal ActionScript interact with the external raw config data (settings, defaults).
