I will be sharing with you all the best plugins there are for Wordpress currently. FYI all of them including wordpress are free :D.
Well known anti-spammer tool that is basically cross-compatible with almost 99.9% plugins out there for wordpress from comments to submissions of articles etc.
Pros : Works dam well , Updates like almost every week becoming stronger
Cons : Sometimes is over-aggressive from time to time and may flag one of your viewer’s comments if they post a long or strange URL link
This is a very neat plugin I found while surfing the web , Basically it takes the first letter in your article and makes it bigger by 5-folds ala magazine style.
Pros : Works automatically , No configuration needed just install and activate
Cons : Configuration may need some manual editing of the css style sheets to get to perfection

So These Tags were in Ely’s Greenfield Video talking about how to make an Interactive List, Basically You can think of these tags as creating symbols or short definitions of a small component that you would like to make and keep reusing over and over again. Example: You want to construct a dozen panels and each of them has to have the same thing inside of them. It is a pretty simple concept once you see the code but could be pretty powerful. To better understand here is the code and the example. Need Flash Player 10 to view it, and I am using the Latest Flex 4 SDK.

So i have always wanted to port over Ely’s Greenfield Display Shelf Component to use actual 3-D rendering and now since Flash Player 10 is bringing native 3D API methods I decided to actually start doing it. Anyhow this is going to be a 3 Part Tutorial to show you how to construct it and I will be using the Lastest Flex 4 SDK. The First Part is pretty Basic it is just a 3D Plane being rotated 360. If you think about it when a Carousel Image moves around, all it’s doing is being flipped 180, sometimes the Image is on your right hand, some times the image is right in the center and sometimes it is on the left. Anyhow, Here is the Place to Get the Source and See it Live. I can’t embed it since For those who don’t have Flash Player version <10, it starts to throw Flash Player Errors when they read their RSS Feeds. Remb You need Flash Player 10. Stay tuned for Part 2.

Sometimes you can get a Timeout message or it you could get an error that says
———————————————
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9.ocx
Flex Builder cannot locate the required debug version of the Flash Player. You may need to install the debug version of Flash Player 9.0 or reinstall Flex Builder. Do you want to try to debug with the current version?
———————————————
Even though you have the debugger installed and are 100% sure. The only remedy that i found to this problem is to find where the stand alone player executable is and double click on it. You can find it under Your Flex Installation Directory/Player/TypeofOS/FlashPlayer.exe. After that close it, return to the Flex IDE hit the debugger and it should work. Make sure to visit the new forums http://vadexFX.com if you have any more questions.

In AIR, C++, ColdFusion, Flex, LiveCycle
I decided to make a forum (http://VadexFX.com) over the weekend for Flex, Flash, and ColdFusion since FlexCoders and other mailing lists that pertain to Adobe Technologies have started to see an increase of off-topic topics and so this should help reduce that. Also, I am not really a fan of mailing lists since you can’t post any code that is neither formatted nor able to search properly and easily find what you want. Now to not also alienate the people that like the mailing list format I am working on a plug-in for the forum that will let you subscribe to a forum or a thread in its whole and you can respond to it by email.
Also, there was a discussion a while ago about breaking up the FlexCoders into a smaller list so I made sub-forums for some of those, and everything is on one site so it won’t thin out the flex community. The plus side is that you can just visit certain forums that interest you. Signing up takes less than 20 seconds (I timed it) and you can post immediately after. Check it out and give your comments on it, the theme is simple and easy on the eye. This should be treated as a supplement to the other mailing- lists but not a replacement. Nearly all support questions or help will be on the forum for the tutorials I do. Site one more time is http://VadexFX.com

So I am pretty sure everyone saw this example where you are able to twist around the image and distort it around as you want. All I am doing here is splitting up the image into smaller triangles to be able to control the image more precisely and using the Formula that was provided on FlashAndMath. This example uses new Flash Player 10 Methods and the latest Flex 4 SDK, so If you want to play around with it then you need flash player 10. I have provided some sample pictures of what you can do with it. Next Up Example: using this method and formulas to create a Cover Flow Component that uses the native Flash Player 10 API, This will be around a 3-4 Part series.

This example is almost a replica of the one in Degrafa which you can find here Degrafa , First one is a Basic Skin, Second one Changes color on Button down and when you roll over it it Does a color fade, 3rd Button does a pulse effect, and also changes it’s colors. Next Example : 3D Transformations in Flex by using the DrawTriangle Method and Vectors etc.. Need Flash Player 10, uses the Flex 4 SDK. Also don’t forget to Vote on the Poll on the side or give me your opinion

Here is a simple example, of how you can use the new Flex 4(Gumbo) API to skin components and have them do Transitions. The Rectangular Component on is a basic UIComponent and when you hover it rotates and the color changes, the Button on the right side expand when you hover over it too and returns to its normal state when the mouse is off of it. I have more complex examples lined up and will post them as the days go by. The next example will be on Skinning buttons and using Tweener, AnimateColor , excludeFrom property and other things. Need Flash Player 10 to view it
