If you, like me, loathe Snap.com‘s popups, and refuse to have a cookie from their site as a removal solution, here’s what you do.
For Firefox:
If the link in step 1 link rots, search Google for “AdBlock”. If you can’t install the plugin, make sure Firefox isn’t blocking the installation from it. You should see a yellow bar at the top of the page letting you know the installation failed. You can click the edit button there to allow that site to install plugins.
Additionally, you can use it for Intellitxt as well, the gents who make the ad pop-ups for the double underlined green links (not always green).

For those of you who wish to just start working on a Flex project immediately, it can be quite daunting to do.

mProjector, a Flash Player projector creator has just released version 3. This is a me too post, but just had to blog it since mProjector is my favorite out compared to Zinc and SWFStudio.

Here’s what I did using Flex 1.5 over a year ago using mProjector 2.
Having problems getting a working example up using a Flex 2 SWF; if someone beats me to it, let me know!

Disclaimer: I typically do not do get projector paying gigs. Therefore, my opinion on what is the best projector tool is framed by testing them all out over 2 years ago. I highly suggest if you are serious about doing desktop work using one of these tools, you investigate for yourself the options, and build a demo with each to get a feel for the API.
