Adobe BlazeDS Logo - apache-flex

I am using BlazeDS and I want to visualize it in a presentation. Therefore I am searching fo a BlazeDS logo. I only find 4-5 matches on google images, like this one:
http://www.clemencanaria.co.cc/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/blazeds-logo1.png
Is this the official logo? And if yes, where could I get an image with a better resolution?
Thanks in advance!

The official logo is here:
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/download/attachments/1114252/blazeds_high_119x125.jpg

I think is better to ask directly the product manager - his blog is here. I made a presentation about BlazeDS using the same logo as you have found, but I never thought if it's the official one or not.

Adobe Assets - .psd - something similar?

I always used Adobe Assets for inspect psd - now I found, it's not possible to use this anymore. Do you know about something similar (except Photoshop)?
Have a look at following blog post talking about 'Avocode', it's not a free product. But simular in feature.

Read more about Adobe Extract
Adobe Extract for Brackets got dis-continued. It's better to try something free e.g. https://editor.redaktor.io/
You can extract images, fonts, text, css, etc. Do PSD to HTML development right in your browser.
They have posted a video and a small tutorial here:

Flex 4.5 Mobile Component Overview - where is it?

I guess I just entered the wrong search phrases or is there really no overview of all the components that are useable on the mobile device?
I want a list/table that says: Instead of component A better use B for your mobile application because it has touch support...
Ideally this overview would also name all components that have been newly introduced for mobile development together with a picture.
Thanks a lot!
Check out this list here. I think it covers what you need.
You should check out tour de flex mobile: http://flex.org/tour-de-mobile-flex/
That should be enought together with the link that Chad posted. But I agree, a Page that puts the things from tour de flex mobile together with the mentioned list would be desireable - searching samples on the phone is not that perfect...
This post has a table of mobile-optimized components. It includes a lot of good information.
Note that most everything else in the Spark space is available. You might just need to create your own mobile skin to make it work well.

CKEditor running in Flex 3?

I'm interested in integrating CKEditor into my Flex 3 application so that users can generate full HTML documents. After some quick googling, I am interested in using CKEditor, but I can't find any home-run success stories on using it with Flex 3. For example, I found:
http://blog.aboutme.be/2009/10/25/ckeditor-running-in-flex-and-air/
and a couple of similar blogs. Based on posted comments, however, it looks like there either may be integration issues, cross-browser issues, or similar gotchas.
I'd like some advice on scoping this effort and potential pitfalls, and any pointers to useful snippets, tutorials or blogs on similar efforts. I am also open to better HTML editors for flex -- I just haven't found any.
I was able to get mine working (with Bob Tate's help setting everything up) without having to use Drumbeat Insight's control. if you need some help or pointers, email me directly with CKEditor in the subject line. jeremysl#hotmail.com
You can't really integrate a non-Flex component into a Flex application.
Your best bet is to look into using the iFrame trick to make it appear as if CFEditor is part of your Flex application. Google around for iFrame trick to find more info on it.
There is an HTML Component from Drumbeat Insight that helps solve a lot of the issues w/ this trick.

Displaying pictures/photographs in asp.net website

I want a really nice way to load in pictures onto a webpage, like a portfolio of my work (let's say it's pottery that I sell on the web) - various fade effects and the like - what can you recommend? Is there something in JQuery?
Thanks
The most popular are probably:
lightbox
lightbox2
thickbox jquery plugin
There are plenty of jQuery plugins that will do this for you. One that I like is the Cycle plugin. There is also Cycle Lite if you don't need as many effects. For more you can search the jQuery plugin database for slideshow or carousel -- and perhaps other keywords.
I really love fancy
I'm using the LightBox on my website and have not found anything easier to work with. Best of all it is free. Here is an example of the implementation on my website.
Italy Pictures
You can download the Lightbox code here...
Lightbox 2 may be worth a look. Nice way of loading images from thumbnail links. Very simple to implement too.
Besides what has already been mentioned, I have used slideshowpro and really like it. A very inexpensive download (like $20 or something like that), its free to try, and widely used. It is a flash plugin however, so you need to be OK with that (you don't need to know flash to use it)
Its use xml files to define the gallery/pictures and has a lot of easily configurable options. Also has an add-in for Picasa that will automatically generate the XML for you from a list of files.

Animated Gifs in Flex 3

Believe it or not I need a way of displaying animated gifs in Flex 3. This guy has a component for sale but it's Flex 2 only: http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/01/19/how-to-load-animated-gifs-using-adobe-flex-20/.
And I’ve implemented this example: http://www.bytearray.org/?p=95, but for larger gifs it’s very CPU intensive and causes the UI to hang.
Does anyone know of any alternative solutions? Failing that, I may have to look at re-factoring the second example to use pseudo-threading. Eugh.
i bought and used the mccune product but have now changed to flex 3. i found your question by searching for the same answer as you and have just come across this
http://flexology.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/loadinganimated_gif_in_flex/
Thanks for the response. The google code project in that link (http://code.google.com/p/as3gif/) is the same as the one on bytearray (http://www.bytearray.org/?p=95) which I implemented.
I knocked up a quick pseudo-threading example using this code and it's far too slow.
Looks like I will need to SWF the GIFs on the fly...
Does this help?
Edit: I've no idea how well that suggestion works on a larger GIF, but if you're still having issues, it might be worth importing the GIF into Flash and turning it into its own SWF.
Flex should be more than able to play that without any issues.
Check out swfmill for going for creating swf's. I believe they support animated gif's
