Smashed Apples by Brian Holmes

Live, constantly-running EC2 instance.

Sure, our AMI needs more fine-tuning.  Sure, we have a lot of work to do.  But an ec2 instance is running with one of the new elastic ip addresses that amazon very recently released.

Listening For All Events

Or Capturing All Events, Or Routing All Events.

This kind of reminds me of that phrase in Super Troopers where the guy is licking the window in the cop car and says “The snauzeberries taste like snauzeberries” which is to say, I literally and figuratively did the Homer “Doh” when this just dawned on me. I needed to listen for all events that come through a specific component. And I had tried a series of half steps and misdirections before I just simply overrode the dispatchEvent method in my component and it just simply worked.

 

override public function dispatchEvent(event:Event):Boolean

{

trace("I hate my life");

trace(event.type);

return super.dispatchEvent(event);

}

Flex Builder 3 Teamprise Plugin problem.

If you are using Flex Builder with the Teamprise plugin to connect to Microsoft Team Foundation for source control and you recently upgraded to Flex Builder 3 or Eclipse 3.3 and are unable to connect to Team Foundation Server anymore, and are getting a loader constraint error in your .log file, add the following code to your eclipse.ini  or flexbuilder.ini file

 -vmargs
-Dorg.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=* 

Don’t add the -vmargs if it’s already there obviously. You can read more about this problem on the teamprise support site.
