Not knowing the answer off the top of my head, I thought this would be a good opportunity to teach myself some specifics about creating custom container components in Flex 4.]]></description>

There are two ways out of this: wrap the ToolTipManager.destroyToolTip() call in a try/catch error block, or monkeypatch the ToolTipManagerImpl class.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Flash isn't on the iPhone. It isn't on the iPad, either. And for this, everyone is losing their minds. Flash haters are coming out of the woodwork proclaiming the death of Flash, eager to feast on the dead flesh of another technological casualty while they bow in fealty to their white shiny god (Apple, dummy! :)  Silverlight lovers, usually so vocal against Flash, are conspicuously absent from the debate. But I think it's a little premature to announce the demise of Flash. As my estimable colleague Derrick Grigg pointed out, there are so many things that Flash can do that are specialized and unique that no other web technology can do well. As to criticisms of the Flash Player...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a polarizing debate going on between "iPad - Flash = Epic Fail", and "Flash is dumb/crashes/obsolete/ads/porn/who cares," bordering on the religious. Problem is, many of the cons against Flash are the same tired HTML fanboy arguments one hears, as if by trolling force alone millions of sites will go dark overnight. There's only one reason why Flash is not on the iPad, or the iPhone for that matter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A very interesting question was raised a few weeks ago in a LinkedIn discussion, titled, "Why Am I in Demand? - Personal Branding for Mature Workers" The problem with this question, other than being a blatant grab for eyeballs, is that it not targeted in the least towards the Flash community. But it does underlie a perception I've noticed amongst some Flash designers &#038; developers who may be just starting out, or are looking at stepping up their profile in the community and the job market.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Usually, when adding new upgraded SDKs to Flex Builder, say to version 3.4, I’ll go to the adobe open source site and download them from there. Then I’ve then got to hunt around for the download link for the datavisualization and automation components. And then I have to merge the downloaded folder structures to get a "complete" SDK. What a huge pain. But there's an easier way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is no doubt: making it as a commercial component maker is a tricky business, what with open source competition on the one hand, and Adobe being possible competition on the other. Now that we've defined the kinds of commercial components in the previous post, with these roadblocks, how do you make it in the current commercial ecosystem? While reviewing recent discussions over at gSkinner's blog while writing my previous post, I was reminded of a few things about successful component companies, which I recently discussed in an email conversation with Jeffry Houser over at Flextras about the matter, who encouraged me to blog about some of the points I brought up.]]></description>

Well, the answer is maybe, and maybe. The confusion is partly due to a lack of definition as to what constitutes a commercial Flash component, which lies at the heart of the matter. In the case of Adobe unfairly competed with Grant Skinner, well... read on.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm going to throw my hat in the ring here: I think naming Flex Builder as Flash Builder is a good thing overall. Part of the challenge for developers today is that there are now so many interconnecting technologies under the umbrella of the Flash Platform, that some of the naming needs to catch up with technology, and I believe that's what's happening here. By moving back toward the use of the term "Flash," Adobe is slowly rebranding Flex as being a subset of the Flash Platform, not a complete technological ecosystem in and of itself, which on the whole is a lot clearer and more balanced.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems to be a recurring trend amongst amateur or ill-informed tech pundits to take aim at misuses of Flash as an argument against using the technology as a whole. And once and a while this mis-aimed cannon of vapid sophistry also takes aim at Flex. And quite frankly, I'm tired of it. And it's up to us, designers and developers in the Flash and Flex communities, to make sure such ill-worded articles do not go unchallenged.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the first chapter of our upcoming book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Adobe-Flex-Joseph-Balderson/dp/0470223642">Professional Flex 3</a>, I built a simple RSS reader in just a few lines of code to demonstrate how easy it is to build a Flex application. I expanded on this application in a few <a href="http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=1A539">recent</a> <a href="http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=744B7">articles</a> at Community MX, creating a mini RSS feed reader for all the book authors. All was well, until one of our tech editors <a href="http://matthewfabb.com/blog/">Matthew Fabb</a>, told me that the reader I built was producing a dreaded security error. Good catch Matt!]]></description>
