  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • Embedding htmlText in your TextArea control

    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 […]

  • Adobe site of the day!

    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 […]

  • Image loading with security sandbox fun.

    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 […]
