Joa Ebert has just released his fantastic Pixel Bender Development Tool for Eclipse. I ran into some problems as it appears that when updating a previous install of the Pixel Bender Toolkit on a Mac, the pbutil executable is not copied to the disk so the kernel cannot be compiled and no output file is written.
I’ve skipped the prerelease 5 which first contained the utility, so I don’t know if this issue has been around before. I simply copied pbutil from the installers resources.dmg into
Pixel Bender Toolkit.app/Contents/MacOS
to fix it. A fresh install worked fine and presumably will give less trouble in the future.
Recently I played around a little with the Spring Actionscript Extension (formerly Prana Framework) and built a PureMVC Multicore implementation.

I wasn’t able to find anything about a new behaviour in the release notes, but it seems that Adobe changed the syntax for FlashPlayerTrust files with the update to Flash Player 10.0.22.87. Using
/Users/herb/workspace/ioccontainer/bin/IocContainer.swf
in your trust file as well as defining trusts for complete directories doesn’t work anymore, resulting in the infamous runtime Error #2148:
[Fault] exception, information=SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file file:////Users/herb/workspace/ioccontainer/bin/IocContainer.swf cannot access local resource ../resources/applicationContext-1.xml?957901. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.
Workaround
You should be able to get things going again with prepending a “file:///” prefix in your trust file:
file:////Users/herb/workspace/ioccontainer/bin/IocContainer.swf
This works for me with Flash Player 10.0.22.87 on Mac OS X. I assume this also applies to Windows XP, Vista and Linux versions of Flash Player.
Adobe has just released version 10,0,22,87 of Flash Player.
Visit Adobe Flash Player Downloads for updated installers for browser and standalone players.
Note: The site still states the downloads are version 10,0,12,36. A quick check reveals the packages actually do contain the most recent version 10,0,22,87.
