Finding a good Caliper or measuring tool that is both cross-platform and FREE seems to be quite difficult. PixelPerfect is a good starting point but not really as useful as a real caliper. So I decided to create myself a CALIPER application for Adobe® AIR™
Project Page or directly from the
Adobe MarketPlace
Just a quick post mostly as a reminder to myself on how to easily create Icons for your Adobe AIR applications.
Once the application has finished Initializing i add a button to the main view. that calls a method called takeSnapShot( e : MouseEvent ); that writes the application out to the desktop as a PNG file.

Forgot to post about this but redbullracing went live last month and i was in charge of creating the flash homepage. It was a simple but interesting project, most notably the distortion effects that are applied to it. Apparently they have caused a lot of people to think their monitors were broken! I blogged about some of these effects
here I also made a little countdown timer that lets you know how much time is left until the next race. Which was kind of neat as it had to be localized to the users current location.
They have just posted a security alert over at
Adobe Product Security Incident Response Team Website regarding false links on social networking sites that tell you to download un-official versions of the flash player that have malware installed on them..
So be careful
