		<title>Flash Player to Air communication</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a extremely busy schedule lately and didn&#8217;t catch time to handle the blog. Sorry for that : ). I have lots of things to show you and I will start by showing a simple example of flash player-air direct communication using LocalConnection.
This is something that a friend of mine asked me to show [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adobe Open Screen Project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, I have to tell you that I&#8217;m really surprised. It&#8217;s a very very big step for Adobe and only good can come from this.
Open Screen Project will include:

Removing restrictions on use of the SWF and FLV/F4V specifications
Publishing the device porting layer APIs for Adobe Flash Player
Publishing the Adobe Flash Cast protocol and the AMF [...]]]></description>

		<title>Styles + (Graphical Skins vs Programmatic Skins)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Styles provide a good additional layer of customization in Flex. If the available styles for a component do not meet your needs, then you re-skin the component using your own graphical or programmatic skins.
Styles and skins complement each other and more than that, you can&#8217;t have one without the other. The skins do the actual [...]]]></description>

		<title>Window Manager in AIR</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was actually surprised that something like this hasn&#8217;t come in the sdk with AIR 1.0 release. I built this during the AIR beta and adjusted it now to run on 1.0. It acts as a global window manager and manages all your window instances in an Air application.
It uses SimpleWindow class which extends mx.core.Window [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I hate MVC&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Personally, I&#8217;m a big fan on design patterns, so don&#8217;t judge by the title. The thing is that you can easily step on to the other side&#8230;when you&#8217;ve got a new project and you&#8217;re thinking right away which pattern should you use. I don&#8217;t see this as the correct coding attitude.
For the mvc in short [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adobe Photoshop Express Beta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Adobe just released a beta version of Photoshop Express. It&#8217;s a free online photo editor that&#8217;s not meant to replace Adobe&#8217;s current offerings, but &#8220;make Adobe imaging technology immediately accessible to large numbers of people.&#8221;
Personally, I think it was just a matter of time until this happened. By now there are quite many online tools [...]]]></description>

		<title>Magic lines of code (Trick-Shot #1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Always wanted a magic line of code that will do the job no matter where you put it. : ) For instance this line will remove any eventListener registered on any eventDispatcher target for any type of event.
Considering that &#8220;e&#8221; is the event:
e.target.removeEventListener(e.type,arguments.callee);
Used something like this &#8230; and no matter in which listener you will [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s an ascii video player. Check it out

I find it as an useless but cool idea. But still, if anyone finds a use for this and is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Debug utility</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At last, my first tech post. : )
Here&#8217;s a way to ease the debugging into flex. I&#8217;ve created a simple class which takes advantage of the getStackTrace() method of the Error class and traces the calling function name before any debug message.
package com.ionutgrosu.logging
{
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
