Auto Sort DataGrid Column in Flex 3
I was working on a Flex application in Flex 3 where I wanted to auto sort a column of a DataGrid component, which was populated dynamically (using PHP). I researched a lot and found a solution on the net.
DataGridColumn, when sorted manually, dispatches an event of type DataGridEvent. The simplest way that I found was to dispatch this even automatically through Action Script.
Mobile Game: Crazy Tower 1.0
I am pleased to announce the release of my new free Flash Lite game – Crazy Tower 1.0
Crazy Tower is a game based on the famous “Tower of Hanoi” myth. This game involves 3 rods, one through which wooden circular pegs (discs) rest in ascending order. The objective of the game is to move the entire stack of pegs, arranged in order of size from first rod, to the last rod. At any point of time, a bigger peg cannot be placed on a smaller one. Enjoy the thrilling legend right on your mobile phone trying to take the minimum number of steps to complete each level and attain victory.
The game starts with 3 pegs in the 1st level and ends with 8 pegs in the 6th level. Taking one wrong move could prove fatal needing 100s of moves to get back on track.

Wacom Intuos 4 – First Try
It’s been about a month since I have been using the Wacom Intuos 4 tablet. It really is worth spending for. I tried using this thing for 3 different aspects. 1 – Photoshop, 2 – Flash and 3 – Everything on Mac OS X (replacing mouse).
Photoshop was a whole new sophisticated experience with Intuos 4. Now, when it comes to web designing, I still prefer mouse over this, but when it comes to brush strokes, effects, tilt, pressure, digital painting, etc., way to go Wacom! Too good. Here is a start off of my basic digital painting. I have been experimenting more on this and hopefully will post more on the Art section of this site.
Replacing mouse completely with Intuos 4 is OK for a normal use. While using the graphic pen, sometimes when you feel your hand needs rest, you cant leave the cursor where it is. Also especially in gaming, mouse seems more precise. Otherwise, for a normal Mac work, I still love using this pen. Flash also was not that satisfactory with the pen for my kind of work where it is game development or precise design for mobiles. People with animation in mind, something like a cartoon storyboard oriented animation, can use Intuos 4 to double their ease compared to mouse.
The new shortcut menu option and ability to set custom actions for buttons according to the application we use is something very useful. Still need to get my hands more on this thing. But overall, no regrets to have spent good amount on this.
