Facebook API

Thaylin | April 29, 2009

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 [...]

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.
You’ll notice [...]

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

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 [...]

mmmm tasty ANT

Thaylin | August 13, 2008

So I’m currently in a flashCodersNY meeting and today’s topic is ANT. Wow! I’ve messed with ANT slightly in java but oh you can do some sweet stuff with ANT and Flex deploying to a server. Will try and update later…

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 [...]
