How to build a SphericVR quickly
Click and move your mouse over the image.
Again, you need to build a sphere with 3DStudioMax and export it in ASE format.
And your texture has to be a spherical shot to be applied on the sphere.
Take a look to my sources here.

TweenMax (AS3) - TweenLite on Steroids
TweenMax builds on top of the TweenLite core class and its big brother, TweenFilterLite, to round out the tweening family with popular (though not essential) features like bezier tweening, pause/resume capabilities, easier sequencing, hex color tweening, and more. … …
TweenMax introduces an innovative feature called “bezierThrough” that allows you to define points through which you want the bezier curve to travel (instead of normal control points that simply attract the curve). Or use regular bezier curves - whichever you prefer. See the sample below. Click to add bezier points.
Flex 4 : what’s coming
- Design in Mind: provide a framework meant for continuous collaboration between designer and developer. Probably involves an additional component model that integrates with the existing Halo components.
- Accelerated Development: take application development from concept to reality quickly. Features could include application templates, architectural framework integration, binding improvements.
- Horizontal Platform Improvements: features that benefit all application and user types. Features could include compiler performance, language enhancements, BiDi components, enhanced text.
- Broadening Horizons: expand the range of applications and use-cases that can leverage Flex. Features could include finding a way to make the framework lighter, supporting more deployment runtimes, runtime MXML.

SQLite Admin for AIR 1.0
Here is a new version of my AIR-based SQLite Admin application updated for AIR 1.0. You can use this application to examine the structure of a database, create a new database or open an existing one, execute any type of SQL statement, etc.
An interesting aspect of this version is that the application itself uses a database (sqladmincache.db) to keep track of the databases you opened and the statements you executed. This is useful if you want to quickly re-open a recently accessed database, or re-execute a recently executed statement.

Still waiting for Saffron UML
Saffron UML is made with Adobe Flex and exported in an Adobe AIR application.
Of course, this tool proposes to do analysis and framework buildings with Unified Modeling Language (UML).
Don’t know when this tool will be ready… it seems to take a bit more time than expected.
I cannot wait anymore!!
