Gridiron Flow is pretty nice

Wednesday, February 18, 2009    0 Comments

Now, Gridiron Flow is a pretty cool tool showing you document file dependencies. After a whole lot of Backtrack scanning (none of it complete yet), opening a FLA shows a lot of file linking going on.

It will find the document class without any problem, but I'd like it to show stubs for the imported classes too. I haven't seen that happen (yet). Overall though it's a really sweet tool.

I'll actually read up on some documentation for this thing to make sure I'm using it properly. The idea behind this is quite remarkable.

Flex progress cursor centering

   0 Comments

A minor nit. The progress cursor in Flex that you can use for an indeterminate waiting period is pretty cool, it has hands that cycle around it's surface showing the passage of time during your wait. However, the hands on the thing aren't centered.

It's a pretty minor nit, but it seems off by about a pixel. 

When you talk twips, perhaps they could have moved it over one so it rendered like it was actually centered. You never see these things for very long, but when one is up for any length of time, I noticed it.
