Posted on December 3, 2014 by Łukasz Grela

I’m trying to pull together set of scripts to help with android/ios graphic resources development. I can export artwork to PNG but results due to scaling are not satisfactory. This means that the scaling and adjusting graphic vectors needs to be done by the graphic designer. To help him in this I want to create a script that will produce set of artboards with given name and base dimensions.

If you have that bad luck (IMHO):) to be an owner or user of MacBook Pro and had issues with camera (noticeably when using Skype but not specifically) then open terminal and type following command:

sudo killall VDCAssistant

and your camera should start to work again

Error: transcoding parameter ‘symbol’ is not supported by ‘flex2.compiler.media.DataTranscoder’

Posted on February 17, 2013 by Łukasz Grela

Hi,

if you’ve run on the Error: transcoding parameter 'symbol' is not supported by 'flex2.compiler.media.DataTranscoder' error recently, then you’re not alone.

I’ve updated my FlashDevelop recently (and with FD updated the Flex SDK – the offender) and one of my projects suddenly stopped publishing, the error was pointing to the Embed tag.

		[Embed(source = "../../../../../gd_logo.swf", 
		mimeType = "application/octet-stream", 
		symbol="com.greladesign.library.logo.GrelaDesignLogo" )]

I was searching on the internet, but couldn’t find anything, however good soul on FD forum has gave me the answer which is:

Remove the mime-type.

		[Embed(source = "../../../../../gd_logo.swf", 
		symbol="com.greladesign.library.logo.GrelaDesignLogo" )]
