I’ve put my freelance lifestyle on hold for a while since I’ve had a full time job but I am now looking for freelance projects I can do in the off hours (6pm – 8am and weekends)
If you’re looking for a Flash developer, UI designer or general web genius™ please feel free to contact me at julian(at this domain).
I’m located in St. Louis, MO if that makes any difference but I’m available worldwide. that may actually be a benefit to a company located in the UK since the time difference would allow me to be at available during their daytime office hours.
I’ve spent a day or two reformatting and tightening up the code I left lingering on the Fless project I started.
Here is the example
It doesn’t look like much but it shows the ease of use of the framework.
Here is the code to create the basics:
public class Main extends MovieClip{
public function Main(){
var blog:Fless = new Fless();
blog.phpURL = “http://yourwebsite/getPost.php”;
blog.addEventListener(PostEvent.UPDATE, postsReady);
blog.getPosts(0, 20);
}
private function postsReady(e:PostEvent):void{
trace(“posts ready”);
trace(e.posts);
var curPost:CurrentPostView = new CurrentPostView(e.posts[0]);
curPost.x = 50;
curPost.y = 50;
curPost.width = (stage.stageWidth / 2) – 50;
curPost.height = stage.stageHeight – 100;
addChild(curPost);
}
}
I’m definitely looking for input from Flash devs that use WordPress to see what kind of features they would like.
I have been banging my head against a wall for days. I am trying to get web services to work in an AIR app built with Flash CS3. My co-workers use a solution that works for Flash only http://labs.qi-ideas.com/2007/12/25/using-flex-compiled-code-within-flash
But every time I tried to use it with an AIR app it would crash.
I then found http://manmachine-tech.blogspot.com/
but after days of frustration I found a critical bug:
In the WSProxy class there is a variable _busyOnCall = true; that gets set within callMethod()
and it gets set to false in onComplete()
but it NEVER GETS SET IN onFault
After that it’s all good. I hope this helps anyone in the same boat as myself.
I was really excited about the new Yahoo! Maps API coming out for AS3 and I happily applied for a developer key and downloaded it. However, it’s compiled for Flex! How the heck am I supposed to use this? Is there some source repository I can get a hold of so I can use the classes in Flash CS3? There’s no apparent reason for it to be limited to Flex as far as I can tell. Anyone have any thoughts?

I can feel it in my bones. And I can’t wait because I’ve wanted to deploy an AIR app for so long but it’s a hard sell to a client to say “Users will have to download a framework, then the app, and then in 2 months update both when it goes 1.0″
This will be a defining moment for Adobe and the web.
