Just found out about this AS3 AIR/Flex/Flash Debugger called De MonsterDebugger from Tiago’s Weblog. I’ll definitely have to try it out for my next project. Editing properties during runtime will definitely come in handy when trying to satisfy the positioning of elements for designers.

I’m working on a flash project that I used AMFPHP with before, but it was an older version.  I thought this might be a good time to try out AMFPHP 1.9 Beta.   So I thought I would add the resources and tutorials that I find here.  Its been pretty simple to setup so far following the docs. I used AMFPHP 1.2 before and one thing I’m glad that is gone is the Method Table.  Essentially you had to list the functions that were available for the service, which was annoying because if you made a change to the function params, you’d have to update the Method Table.

Here’s the list of related AMFPHP sites, if you have any other good links please share and I can update the list.

I just got Keith Peters, AdvancED ActionScript 3.0 Animation. It’s going to be fun going through this book, if only I had some time. I’ve been pretty busy lately so I’ll have to start looking through it during the weekend. I’ll be sure to post any cool stuff I build while reading the book.
