A lot of new stuff

Today has been a hectic day. Had some final stuff to take care of this morning for a Facebook-App that will go live next week.
Will have the day of tomorrow so had to get all things sorted out today.

Last night Google lauched their new social service, Google+, and I received  an invite from Marvin ( @beautifycode ) this morning. Squeezed in some time to explore it and I must say that I’m actually impressed. I like the new ui Google is presenting and I believe Google+ will be a great platform for business  relationships and internal communication for companies as well as for the personal use. If you are using some of Google’s other services you got it all wrapped together within Google+.

To top the day of FDT launched FDT 4.5 a few minutes ago. I’m quite thrilled every time the Powerflasher-team releases an update to FDT but this round it has a lot of useful new features. ( not that 4.4 was a let down :) )

Some of the new features includes:
- Mobile templates for both Android and iOS
- Updated AIR Launcher
- New and updated project templates

You can read the full release notes right here at the official release notes page.

FDT Font Library

FDT4 Font Library plugin is a handy one. I usually end up spitting out an .swc then simply register the fonts using the generated classes.

  1. /**
  2. * Register fonts
  3. * font.cosmos.regular
  4. * font.cosmos.bold
  5. */
  6. private function registerFonts() : void
  7. {
  8.        Font.registerFont( FontClass_11eb868c01b86828_font0 );
  9.        Font.registerFont( FontClass_11eb868c01b86828_font1 );
  10. }

This is just one of many nice features you get when joining the Powerflashers.
