Crafting Code & Wood: A Maker’s Journey

  • 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. You’ll notice […]

  • Actionscript 3.0 Client Library for Facebook Platform

    The web seems to have quickly become a social networking extravaganza. Not to mention it feels as though all of these sites have enveloped the concept of open source like crazy. With that in mind, Adobe has recently released a library for actionscript 3 to connect to facebook and retrieve data pretty easily. You can […]

  • Flex 3 Professional free for the unemployed!

    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: https://freeriatools.adobe.com/learnflex/?PID=1225267

  • Ackk! My Macbook Pro burns!

    I’ve noticed for a while that my MacBook Pro has run hot, and I figured it was maybe because it was a 17″ and running lots of apps at once. But today I’m testing the waters to decide if, instead, I want to use my old co-worker’s MBP (a 15″) and it still ran hot! […]

  • Not so recursive method annoyance fix

    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 […]

  • Recursive method annoyance

    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 […]

  • Nas Remix

    I was just watching a video for the Afro Samurai Game (which by the way looks pretty sweet). During the video they play an awesome song which is a remix of Nas One Mic and Ecstasy of Gold. A great mix and I figured I’d share for anyone reading… The audio isn’t super great since […]

  • Windham!

    Today I went to Windham mountain for snowboarding via NYCski. It was incredibly awesome! The temperature was a blistering -15 at the base and -25 at the top of the mountain, but I was able to manage to snap one shot before my fingers couldn’t feel the phone anymore 🙂 The temp did climb later, […]
