Carduino = Arduino + Car Diagnostic Interface

There you go Aaron with the last post and this one I don't see why you
wouldn't have the flash dashboard for your car working in a matter of
weeks.

More Arduino + Flash @ NETLab

Pretty cool demo of some nice CS4 components that hook right up to the Arduino:
 

 
I can see this as a means to get a dashboard up and running quickly.

Arduino + Flash

Sweet looks like there's a nice little interface and source code for bridging a Flash file and the Arduino. This is a post for Aaron's AIR flight navigation project.

text line metrics not calculating accurately

I am setting an html text field with a stylesheet and then some html text, and following that attempt to get the line height of a single line (such as the first) by textField.getLineMetrics(0). From that I check the lineMetrics.height value and it is always about 1.5 to 2 even though I have text there. Anyway, after trying a few things like adding/removing the display object as a child (reset the line metrics???), I thought to do a textField.getCharBoundaries(0) -- the "0" for the first character in my text. This measured 31.7! Excellent. Something to work with finally. Then I scanned my traces and noticed the line metrics trace for height was now 37.7!!! Ahhhhhh, what a relief. I need to finish what I was working on now, so I am not going to do any more investigation for the time being, but it looks like the getCharBoundaries somehow resets the line metrics data in the player. Any thoughts out there on why this is the case?

Link to source code of a swc

Great tip I just found at: http://clintm.esria.com/2007/05/11/linking-source-code-to-a-swc-in-flexbuilder/ The path you would put when you "Edit" the "Source attachment: (None)" would be something akin to ~/Flex Builder/MySwcProject/src On my mac I now command-click into the source code of a swc (for which I don't have a project, but do have source code) and am so happy about that.
