Yesterday I did a presentation on ExternalInterface and it’s uses along with how to inject javascript on the page and a few other tidbits at FlashCodersNY.
Here’s the zip file with the project we went over. Whether you were there or not you should still be able to easily follow along since there’s tons of comments [...]

On my quest to make the facebook actionscript connectivity as easy to work with as possible I needed to be able to reproduce the

<script src="myExternalLibrary.js">
</script>
call in order for everything to work appropriately.
After some searching I came across a clip of code that worked beautifully

So I’m still unsure about the SendLiveMessage, but I believe it will only work for users that have accepted the application on their facebook account.
On another note, the one thing that’s bugging me about the facebook actionscript api is the inability to login seamlessly. But I think I’ve figured out a way to get [...]

[Quick Update]
I discovered there’s actually a class in the actionscript api called SendLiveMessage. Not sure yet if I can utilize this to listen for updates from facebook but it’s a start.

Previously, I posted about facebook and adobe working together to create a library in actionscript. The unfortunate thing seems to be the lack of support for the facebook chat app. But going into the facebook website and looking at the net activity reveals somthing interesting that I may be able to build upon.
You’ll notice [...]

Currently Adobe is offering flex free for anybody who is unemployed! It’s only to be used with non commercial projects as a means to learn with but that’s just awesome.
For anyone interested, you can pick it up here:

So keeping in the topic from my previous post of low overhead flash apps, I decided to talk a little bit about runtime shared libraries.
So what are Runtime Shared Libraries?
These are libraries that are used just like you normally use your libraries in Flex 3 but instead of storing them within the swf, during runtime [...]

So Last week I did a presentation on the adobe xmlsyndication package and the use of css within an as3 environment sans mxml at the flashcodersny meeting. I think all in all it turned out pretty good but there were a few issues I noticed.
The first being the dependancy on the adobe corelib package and [...]

I was trying to determine a way to sort an array without all the for loops and that sort of business when I ran across this post
Granted it’s a little specific to what you want to sort but I’m sure with a little change you could sort based on the function call maybe. I implemented [...]

I decided to tweak the class a bit more so I figured I’d throw it up here.

I've lived in New York for about four years now and before that lived in Detroit where I started my career at Raytheon developing E-Learning solutions. Once I moved to NYC I started with Starwood Hotels and Resorts working initially on Flash for the television and moving to the web dev team after that. I love anything that's random in terms of coding and am constantly thinking about how best to recreate the seemingly randomness of nature. When not having my face stuck in a computer monitor I try to give as much back to the community as possible by donating time to New York Cares taking kids from Queens to various fun and educational activities. I also dig cooking, good beer, and am addicted to TED.
