Windows ANE for native dialogs
My post on creating native alerts with Adobe AIR has proven to be quite popuplar so I decided to follow it up with something even better (at least for Windows apps). Recently I have been dabbling in a bit of C# for creating Windows Store apps as well as some C/C++ to try and figure […]
Converting video with FFmpeg and Adobe AIR
Something I have been wanting to do for a while now is build a video converter into my Module Builder to enable automatic conversion of video into the various web friendly formats but I could never find a way to do it. Over the weekend I discovered this tutorial on playing back any video in […]

Combining PixelBender paint mixing with TUIO blob size
This post has been sitting around in draft for a while now so thought I’d better publish it. I finally got around to recording a video demo of an app I’ve been working on for a client. I needed to combine my PixelBender paint mixing with blob size so that the brush is the size […]
A simple way to get native alerts with Adobe AIR
In an AIR project I am currently working on I wanted to have native alert boxes in my app rather than building custom pop up boxes.

PixelPerfect digital art wall
Update: It has come to my attention that some companies have been claiming that Classy Event Group is just a software reseller for Virtual Graffiti Wall. This is entirely untrue. I have worked with Classy Event Group to design and develop this software for them. Classy Event Group is the sole owner of this software […]
