The current version (1.5) of the Facebook-Actionscript API doesn´t support Air 2.5 for Mobile. The authentication process requires you to launch some html with buttons where the user can acccept or deny access by your app, but: The Mobile package of Facebook-Actionscript API is using External Interface which is not available.

Today I released my first app – Habitz – on Android Market. Info and QR can be found here. It has been built on the Flex Hero framework, and is using the Robotlegs micro-architecture.
As a developer of flex applications I have often received critique for the size of the applications, and of course it could be a problem if they should be loaded fast with limited bandwidth. There are techniques for removing classes that are not needed, but another alternative is to choose a new “Actionscript project” instead [...]
Recently I have been developing a very large flex/papervision3d project. The guy who´s making the 3d models is an external resource, frequently committing new collada files to our repository. One of the problems with these files are that his exporter is generating so much junk, and it has become necessary to do something about the [...]

The biggest problem I had where that the mvn hpi:create didn´t recognize the systemPath to tools.jar in the JAVA_HOME lib folder. When running the command in debug mode I found out [...]
A small, but highly configurable, twitter widget, using the Swiz framework, and Efflex.

After the Pirate Bay trial you could for example follow the twitterstorm from hour to hour when using the API. Today I have been trying out the API with a very simple Flex application. It was amazingly easy [...]
In a discussion thread at the LinkedIn Adobe Flex Developers Group, about what framework to use for developing large Flex applications someone mentioned Swiz: – an Inversion of Control framework so you don’t end app with any singleton references in your project code but you can wire your objects together using metadata annotation in your [...]
As one of our projects have a focus on home automation, an office automation setup of the project, like this, would be very cool. Very much configurable with Hudson. It lights lava lamps based on the status of the Hudson RSS feed- if the most recent of any builds fails, the red lamp will light; [...]
