Unicode map

acatl — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 01:19:48 +0000

Oh man.. every time I try to embed a character in flex its a real pain, I forget where I found the info and which sets correspond to what.. so after some searching I found this page, many of you probably know the site, but I didn’t know they had this info posted there.

map of unicode characters:
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/index.htm

and for some more in depth info on each code:
http://www.decodeunicode.org/

oh and how to forget wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Extended

so what is this for? you can embed specific unicode sets on your CSS of a flex app like in this example:

@font-face { src:url("Calibri.ttf"); fontFamily: Calibri; unicode-range: U+0020-U+0040, /* Punctuation, Numbers */ U+0041-U+005A, /* Upper-Case A-Z */ U+005B-U+0060, /* Punctuation and Symbols */ U+0061-U+007A, /* Lower-Case a-z */ U+007B-U+007E, /* Punctuation and Symbols */ U+0080-U+00FF, /* C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement */ U+00A2-U+00A5, /* Cent sign Pound sign Currency sign Yen sign */ U+20A0-U+20CF; /* curreny symbols */ }

Fresh new Look and feel for Teztoc

acatl — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:55:05 +0000

After taking with Genaro ( ex-coworker) seemed like Teztoc was actually being used! woha!! heeh, and he gave me some feedback on the functionality that would make Teztoc a much more useful application, seems like it is a tool that could potentially be used to show clients previews of the components while on development phase, so why not make it a bit more nicer right? add some enhancements to the navigation, etc… so here is what I’ve got so far.

check out a live example here

AMFConnection

acatl — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 18:07:03 +0000

So here it is, my very simple but useful way to communicate and AMF Server. What did I do? well I just mimicked the way any other XML Call would be.

The API is very simple, an example of it’s usage:

// used packages

import net.oztoc.remoteobject.AMFConnection;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;

// create the AMF service
var service:AMFConnection = new AMFConnection();

// set Service’s AMF variables
service.gateway = “http://www.acatl.net:3000/rubyamf_gateway”;
service.remoteClass = “Sessions”;
service.method = “userLogin”;

// add event listeners
service.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, onResult );
service.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, onRespond );

// send the data to the server
service.send({user:”acatl”, passwrd:”mypasswrd”});
