People asked for specifics, but I haven't managed to figure out all the details and document them... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/12/privileged_modu.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/12/privileged_modu.html AIR Mon, 15 Dec 2008 09:21:49 -0800 That was the title of the session I did with Peleus Uhley on Wednesday. It's always fun to talk about security, especially with such an informed audience. Hopefully it was fun for them, too. It's taken longer than I'd hoped... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/11/max2008_maintai.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/11/max2008_maintai.html Fri, 21 Nov 2008 18:43:19 -0800 The internet is funny. Things get written, then cross-referenced, then indexed by mammoth search engines. Later, when the truth changes, the old postings stay around in various indexes. So, if you did a search for "Adobe AIR XSLT" via your... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/10/adobe_air_suppo.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/10/adobe_air_suppo.html Sat, 11 Oct 2008 13:08:18 -0800 I've gone more in depth into security and injection attacks before. But sometimes, it's nicer to see everything boiled down into a few slides. Here, then, are the security slides from my onAIR presentation (PDF). You may see some familiar... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/06/slides_from_my.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/06/slides_from_my.html Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:50:01 -0800 There's been a lot going on lately, even without counting a great week with the onAIR tour in Europe. Each of these deserve a full post with captivating details and insider insight. But instead I'm going for partial credit, just... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/06/quick_cool_link.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/06/quick_cool_link.html AIR Tue, 17 Jun 2008 23:18:49 -0800 I'm posting this from the beautiful city of Stockholm, Sweden. This week I'll be traveling with Mike Chambers, Ryan Stewart and the rest of the onAIR crew. My presentation is an introduction to building security applications in AIR. The first... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/05/one_week_with_t.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/05/one_week_with_t.html Thu, 29 May 2008 00:10:07 -0800 I've been getting a lot of questions about how to use remote "modules" in AIR. "Modules" is in quotes because it can mean different things. In every case, it refers to running some SWF or HTML/JS content that is loaded... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/04/remote_plugins.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/04/remote_plugins.html Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:53:37 -0800 Two big announcements on the Adobe + Linux front today. A public alpha of AIR and a new rev of Flex Builder. For years I've been toying with the theory that Linux hasn't caught on in the consumer desktop space... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/03/air_for_linux_-.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/03/air_for_linux_-.html Sun, 30 Mar 2008 21:30:57 -0800 This is going to be fun. Hot on the heels of shipping AIR 1.0, I've been given approval to join some excitable evangelists and other eloquent luminaries on the AIR Tour in Europe. For one week in June, I'll join... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/03/european_vacati.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/03/european_vacati.html AIR Tue, 11 Mar 2008 19:30:52 -0800 It's been years in the making, but AIR 1.0 has left the building! I'm so proud to have been a part of the development of the product. And it's unbelievably exciting to see how many people are excited about the... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/02/air_10_is_live.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2008/02/air_10_is_live.html AIR Sun, 24 Feb 2008 23:08:39 -0800 Just for fun, I built this custom component to support tearing a tab off into a new window. It's anything but polished, but it can't hurt to share, right? Download the AIR file, or download the source. Runs on AIR... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2007/07/tear-off_tabs_i.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2007/07/tear-off_tabs_i.html AIR Fri, 27 Jul 2007 01:20:45 -0800 For years, I've wanted to add one feature to the Flash Player: support for multiple windows. The feature really only makes sense when dealing with desktop apps, and I've been lucky enough to add the feature for AIR. One aspect... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2007/07/uses_of_multipl.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2007/07/uses_of_multipl.html AIR Tue, 24 Jul 2007 22:47:02 -0800 First off, thanks to everyone who came to Brent and my sessions at MAX. We had a great time doing them. It was a blast to meet so many people I've only known from email lists and blogs. People seemed... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2006/10/summary_max_adv.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2006/10/summary_max_adv.html Fri, 27 Oct 2006 18:21:24 -0800 I'll leave the detail-heavy blog posts to someone else. Brent and I still have to finish up the demos for our session this afternoon. But I want to get some thoughts down while the impressions are still fresh. The strongest... http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2006/10/max2006_keynote.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emalasky/archives/2006/10/max2006_keynote.html Tue, 24 Oct 2006 11:37:48 -0800 I'm excited to be going to MAX next week. As always, it's great to get out and talk to real live users. I'm also going to be doing a session with my teammate Brent: Advanced Apollo Application Development.
