So I'm moving these posts back to my Wordpress blog at <a href="http://www.tutorialsbyibrent.com/blog">http://www.tutorialsbyibrent.com/blog</a><br /><br />In addition to updating the blog, I'm working on a new layout for the <a href="http://www.tutorialsbyibrent.com">main site</a> as well.<br /><br />iBrentiBrenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12553473659179257968noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742789122696841776.post-62680153774160254552009-01-05T22:39:00.001-08:002009-01-06T11:45:47.740-08:00New Tutorial --> UMap and Flex BuilderI've uploaded my first YouTube video today. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtmUG2LlSMY">Here</a> I show you how to use the UMap AS 3.0 map control with Flex Builder 3.<br /><br />You can download the example file <a href="http://www.tutorialsbyibrent.com/MapExample.zip">here</a>. Please note that you will need to download the UMap component separately from <a href="http://www.afcomponents.com">www.afcomponents.com</a><br /><br />Look for part 2 coming soon...<br /><br />iBrent<br /><br />EDIT: I'm still working on getting the resolution to work with YouTube. My first attempt was too blurry, check back soon... :-(<br /><br />EDIT: The video is live, but I'm still not happy with the conversion that YouTube uses...

With that, I'm going to be updating my <a href="http://www.tutorialsbyibrent.com">tutorial website</a> and start adding new content.<br /><br />I just bought a new mixer/audio input device for my computer, <a href="http://www.m-audio.com">m-Audio FastTrack Pro</a>. It's a great little device, and with my existing microphones and sound equipment I can now create more "professional" quality tutorials.<br /><br />Here's to new content in 2008!<br /><br />iBrentiBrenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12553473659179257968noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742789122696841776.post-90396448304164083562008-10-02T20:30:00.001-07:002008-10-02T20:32:24.882-07:00Another iPhone site...Now that Apple has <a href="http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/">dropped the iPhone NDA</a>, I've started a tutorial site dedicated to learning, using, and programming for the iPhone.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.freeiphonetutorials.com">www.freeiphonetutorials.com</a><br /><br />I'm still updating the site and adding content, so check back often for all things iPhone.<br /><br />-- iBrentiBrenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12553473659179257968noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742789122696841776.post-12238581782534720542008-06-14T19:28:00.000-07:002008-06-14T19:33:17.069-07:00Making money onlineI found a cool new service on Skype today called <a href="http://skypeprime.skype.com/">Skype Prime</a><br /><br />Now you can charge people for your time on the phone using Skype.

That way I can save on bandwidth and insure a more reliable service.<br /><br />The only drawback to hosting them on YouTube is the smaller format. I've got a few ideas on how to make the tutorials work on the smaller format. It may take a few tries to get it right, but in the end this will be a better solution for everyone.<br /><br />iBrentiBrenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12553473659179257968noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742789122696841776.post-13370620684916919232008-06-06T16:12:00.000-07:002008-06-06T16:15:32.091-07:00The new home of Tutorials by iBrentI'm moving my <a href="http://www.tutorialsbyibrent.com">tutorial website</a> to this here blog.
