Very handy Firefox extensions

November 14th, 2006

Dunno how I missed these for so long, but Sepiroth has some very handy extensions available from his site…

FlashTracer (like ‘afterthought’ in your browser)
GetVideo (easily download Google & YouTube videos)
Flash Switcher (bit like Kewbee’s plugin switcher)
ActionScript 3.0 Reference (… in firefox’s search)

Go grab ‘em now from his site.

Flex2 & Flash9 in Ubuntu

July 15th, 2006

Ubuntu just keeps getting better!

It took some messing around but I’ve now got Flex2 Builder working as a plugin in Eclipse (no visual editor but code hinting’s fine), MXMLC compiling, and Flash Player 9 installed in Firefox (through WINE) for testing the end result… of course there’s gotta be a million ways of improving the process but I was kind of shocked it worked at all :)

check the vid (or download it to see a much more readable full size version)…
