			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" />I thought that I would just write a quick note on how I know which version of an application I am looking at when it has been published to the web. It's all well and good saying its revision 87 from svn but how do you know? Well a simple way is to add it to the Flashplayers custom context menu. Right click to see the custom menu and to view the source

<p>This comprises of making just two files one of which is a singleton class that can be used for every project  you want to add version control to and the second is a VersionControl.properties file which you update before you publish a new version of your application lets take a look at that file first</p>
<pre class="flex"><span style="color: #009900; font-style: italic;">#Each item takes the same params as the ContextMenuItem class</span>
<span style="color: #009900; font-style: italic;">#and is seperated by and &amp;amp; ampersand</span>
<span style="color: #009900; font-style: italic;">#caption:String = caption Value : String,</span>
<span style="color: #009900; font-style: italic;">#separatorBefore:Boolean = false,</span>
<span style="color: #009900; font-style: italic;">#enabled:Boolean = true,</span>
<span style="color: #009900; font-style: italic;">#visible:Boolean = true</span>
<span style="color: #009900; font-style: italic;">#In addition each item supports a url variable just add</span>
<span style="color: #009900; font-style: italic;">#&amp;amp;YOUR URL GOES HERE;</span>
Version=Version <span style="color: #000000;">0.1</span>&amp;amp;false&amp;amp;false&amp;amp;true;
url=Developer:A McCormick&amp;amp;false&amp;amp;true&amp;amp;true&amp;amp;www.<span style="color: #000000;">goeshere</span>.<span style="color: #000000;">com</span>
viewSource=ViewSource&amp;amp;false&amp;amp;true&amp;amp;true&amp;amp;www.<span style="color: #000000;">goeshere</span>.<span style="color: #000000;">com</span></pre>
<p>The Second class controls what these properties do i know its a long class but its fully commented. ( right click the grey square above and choose view source to see the VersionController class ).<br />
Basically it loops through the VersionControl.properties file and builds context menu items based on the values, adding the ability to include links as well.<br />
And finally all you have to do is call getInstance( this ); in your main application file.</p>
<pre class="flex">&lt;!--<span style="color: #000000;">&#91;</span>CDATA<span style="color: #000000;">&#91;</span>
&nbsp;
			<span style="color: #5b7bff; font-weight: bold;">import</span> VersionControl.<span style="color: #000000;">VersionController</span>;
&nbsp;
		<span style="color: #000000;">&#93;</span><span style="color: #000000;">&#93;</span>--&gt;</pre>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" />Yesterday the powers that be decided to send me on a course by <a title="Rob Bateman" href="http://www.lfpug.com/rob-bateman/" target="_blank">Rob Bateman</a> all about building 3D websites. I had the opportunity to meet <a title="Rob Bateman" href="http://www.lfpug.com/rob-bateman/" target="_blank">Rob</a> on Tuesday at the <a title="PokerCoder" href="http://www.pokercoder.com/" target="_blank">PokerCoder</a> event held by Adobe.  As some of you may or may not know I have previously worked on projects using <a title="Papervision3D" href="http://blog.papervision3d.org/" target="_blank">Papervision3D</a> in the past, However I haven't really had the chance to pick it up in the last couple of months since starting at  <a title="LBi" href="http://www.lbigroup.com" target="_blank">LBi</a> so I was looking forward to getting back into it. The most interesting part for me was the introduction of <a title="Away3D" href="http://www.away3d.com." target="_blank">Away3D</a> I hadn't heard of this engine before and I was very impressed with it. In addition <a title="Rob Bateman" href="http://www.lfpug.com/rob-bateman/" target="_blank">Rob</a> did a great job with explaining the way in which 3D environments work in ActionScript. In addition this was all backed up by 36 example applications!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" />I have recently taken a new job as a Flex Developer at <a href="http://www.lbigroup.com">LBi</a> in London so i have decided to throw away the old BetaDesigns blog and start a fresh. I have been at LBi for nearly a month and a half now and i am really enjoying it, I have already had the opportunity to work with some big companies building Components and full Applications. As some of you may or may not know I am a big fan of component driven development so I am going to be using this blog to post open source components that i build along the way. Hopefully some of my post and components will be of some use to someone.</p>
