  • the down lo on ExternalInterface and javascript injection via actionscript 3

    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 […]

  • Javascript injection via as3 to embed external libraries

    On my quest to make the facebook actionscript connectivity as easy to work with as possible I needed to be able to reproduce the call in order for everything to work appropriately. After some searching I came across a clip of code that worked beautifully

  • Facebook API

    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

    [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

    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.

  • What the Heck are Runtime Shared Libraries?

    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, […]

  • XMLSyndication

    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 […]

  • A quick note.

    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 […]

  • an update on my FirebugLogger class

    I decided to tweak the class a bit more so I figured I’d throw it up here.   import flash.external.ExternalInterface; public class FireBugLogger { private static var _enabled:Boolean = false; public function FireBugLogger(singleton:SingletonEnforcer){} public static function set enabled(t:Boolean):void{ _enabled = t; } public static function get enabled():Boolean{ return _enabled } public static function log(s:String):void { […]
