"Dump" an Actionscript Custom Object by pmolaro

In ColdFusion you can "trace" out any variable or object by using the <cfdump> tag. I wanted to do something similar with my Actionscript objects I created for my Flex projects. Below is a nice solution. Be aware I have read that this sometimes crashes your apps with super complicated objects, but I have not encountered that myself.

Encrypted Local Store in AIR by vixiom

"One of the questions I encountered regularly during the AIR Bus Tour was about encryption using AIR. There’s an obvious sensitivity towards having an application remember certain details (like passwords) about the user, and then storing that data in the clear in a text file. During AIR Beta 1, I suggested that folks use one of the various ActionScript encryption libraries. I’m happy to report that AIR Beta 2 includes an “encrypted local store” for developers to use."

Log into Facebook with Adobe AIR by vixiom

I’ve been messing around with the Facebook API and one of the things I don’t like about the desktop version is that you still have to authorize an app through a browser. I know you only have to do this the first time but what’s the point of a desktop application if you have to open a browser? Here’s how to use AIR’s HTML control to login to Facebook without leaving the safe confines of your desktop. The example will log into facebook and grab the most recent noifications for the logged in user - that’d be you :)
