Facebook chat update
Thaylin | April 23, 2009
[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.
Facebook Chat Api
Thaylin | April 23, 2009
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.

Not so recursive method annoyance fix
Thaylin | February 11, 2009
Ok just first of all, I would like to point out that the method in my previous post was in all actuality not a recursive method. It loops through objects in that class but not the same object consecutive times.. my bad.
On that note. Thanks to Hudson Ansley on the flashcodersny blog for pointing out [...]
Recursive method annoyance
Thaylin | February 10, 2009
So I’ve been working on incarnations of a mapping application over the last year or so and am rather happy with how it’s been growing so far but one thing has come to my attention.
The map pulls in hotel properties and displays them as markers on the map depending on the x and y values [...]
Pulling in mp3 library folder
Thaylin | October 27, 2008
So I have a client who wanted to have mp3’s that the user could listen to and also download. Since I’m very against having to constantly manage a clients content I wanted him to be able to have no problem adding and removing mp3 files. Normally, one might have an xml file that the user [...]
Embedding htmlText in your TextArea control
Thaylin | October 23, 2008
So I’m currently working on my first mxml project at work (I’ve done other stuff but not at work so they were much less involved).
I realized a little in to the project that using the TextArea control can be a bit of a pain the ass at times. Namely, I couldn’t find a way to [...]
Adobe site of the day!
Thaylin | August 11, 2008
So the recent site I worked on is on Adobe’s site of the day. W00t.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/showcase/index.cfm
And finally someone said stuff about my map! Sheesh. lol.
The only thing I’m not liking is the shameless plugs they try to do. They say the site was created in flash(!?!) and dreamWeaver? Who even touches dreamweaver these days for a [...]
Image loading with security sandbox fun.
Thaylin | July 25, 2008
Just a note in case anyone runs into this.
Loading an image from an external domain without a crossdomain.xml file can be tricky. typically I want to just grab the content of the loader and use it to be referenced for whatever. But in this case, when loading from an external domain that doesn’t have a [...]
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.
