Microsofts new standard error message “Nothing to see here; move along”

So today I see that Microsoft has a new Technology preview for a web application called “Photosynth”. Being a curious person I go to the site to check it out. First of all it doesn’t work on the mac or firefox. Not to be deterred I opened Parallels and went to the site in IE. When I get to the site I get an error saying my video card doesn’t support the website and the dialog asks me if i want to educate them on what went wrong (wouldn’t even know where to start). Anyway, I chose to click on “Nevermind” and then received the following message from the website “Nothing to see here; move along”, so I did but not before a good laugh. Although I probably shouldn’t be laughing I’m sure I have a few of these lurking out there as well.

Nothing to see here; move along

VitalStream + ActionScript3 = NetScream Object

As I’m getting into flex2 more I decided to upgrade my multimedia classes to ActionScript3. I use VitalStream for streaming media Not far into it I received the following error:

Error #2126: NetConnection object must be connected.

This would happen whenever I tried to connect to the VitalStream Server.

After digging a little I saw that it was an object encoding error.
After pulling out some hair I started looking around on LiveDocs I found the following:

Connecting exclusively to a server that was released prior to Flash Player 9, such as Flex 1.5 and FlashMedia Server 2. In this scenario, set the static defaultObjectEncoding property to ObjectEncoding.AMF0.

var netConnect:NetConnection;
netConnect = new NetConnection();

netConnect.objectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
Setting the encoding correctly upfront will fix your problems and save you some hair.

Thats it for now.

Flex OS X Icon Needs some Help

I’m not a designer but in my first attempt to give back I’ve cleaned up the Flex Builder Beta OS X icon.
Download the ICNS Icon File & PSD (If you make it better please send my way)

Hey this giving thing feels pretty good.

fyi

You can not just copy and paste the icon via the “Get Info” on the Flex Builder.app. You need to “Show package contents” and replace the icon in Contents/Resources as well. I know… I know… seems like a lot of fuss, but man is it worth it!… :) *chuckle*
