Flex Builder is RENAMED
——————-> 
Long Long ago… when I stepped in Flex I asked the people why are we need a new builder and new framework to create SWF’s at the end of day… why can’t we do this in Flash itself.
Some one explained me that in the intial stages of Flash is used to created “Skip intro movies”, adds, banners and many other multimedia works … when timepasses FLASH ENGINE evolved into robust and powerful that can easily handle enterprise applications, but already customers and many developers had a mindset that FLASH is used for SOMETHING other than ENTERPRISE and also developers from JAVA (like me) and other streams are not attracting towards Flash development because of its FRAME Style programming. Thats why Macromedia created a special framework which is easily understandable and has very low learning curve called FLEX Framework and to develop this we are having FLEX Builder which is very similar to Eclipse (because its built on eclipse and also you can use it on eclipse as plugin) by using these tools you can create good impact on the customers by which you can easily differentiate the power of Flash Engine into two parts one is Flex (for Enterprise applications) and other is Flash (which is going to use for Multimedia and Gaming). and now its easy to convince the customer why to use Flex 
. “I was convinced” at that time.
and now Adobe announced that Flex Builder is renamed into Flash Builder
the most interesting question for me from theflashblog.com
What about clients who cringe when they hear the word Flash?
Here you have two options. You can continue to simply use the term Flex or you can educate them that Flash is now a mature development platform and not simply annoying skip intro movies. We as a community need to spread the word about what Flash really is now. Also you really have to have your head under a rock to not realize that Flex applications run in the Flash player.
So go educated the customer that FLEX BUILDER now called as FLASH BUILDER
Because at the end of day CUSTOMER MATTERS for me or for them.

ObjectUtil.copy is not working as you are expected
Couple of minutes back when I tried to deep copy my object its just returning me null.
when I tried to assign it for a object its working.
I gone through the implementation its simple and effective…
public static function copy(value:Object):Object
{
var buffer:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
buffer.writeObject(value);
buffer.position = 0;
var result:Object = buffer.readObject();
return result;
}
Then why its not working… reason is simple
Copies the specified Object and returns a reference to the copy. The copy is made using a native serialization technique. Confused.
Use the [RemoteClass] metadata tag to register the class with Flex so that Flex preserves type information when a class instance is serialized by using Action Message Format (AMF).
We have two ways to add the type information to the class:
1 . using [RemoteClass]
2. registerClassAlias(“my.pkg.class”,class);
This will resolve the problem.

and the dedication rewarded !
For taking the ownership of Time series (one of the critical component) in a critical situation and completing in Record time.
[With Aditya (Engineering Manager) and Dr Anukool (Founder of Guavus)]
The Timeseries component, the culprit of my sleepless nights.
What is in this ?
You can hide/show the specific series.
You can change the timeseries between day, week and month.
you can slide the time.
you can show the reverse series.
you can show the copy the any series data.
and many extra features
Thanks to VIKRAM for his great co-operation and patience for working with me on this component.
I still says without him its difficult for me to complete it in a given time.

I’m Back
The sleepless nights, the coding dreams come to the end on 30th April when Guavus NetReflex 2.O has gone successfully to GA. the deadlines are aggressive, but yes I like that taste. It really helps us to measure our caliber.
Currently I am bit busy in BizReflex 1.O but its fine thats not a big issue.
