Flex

Not totally Drupal / but definitely related /

For those interested I just figured I would share this information -

// Might benefit someone. I haven't applied for anything but seems like a good deal.

node.save

I had a very tough time finding what arguments were required by node.save... I finally guessed that a new node needed a "created" timestamp argument. Where should I post the following?

For new node creation be sure to set the creation time of the node:

Thomas Saunders and I are releasing our ActionScript 3 (Flash 9/CS 3/Flex 2) framework for interfacing with Drupal sites running the Services and AMFPHP modules.

Our framework handles some of the basic aspects of connecting a Flash application with a Drupal site, invoking service methods, and retrieving data.

To download the ActionScript class files or view the API documentation, please see our site at:

Please let us know if you find this useful, and if you have any questions or suggestions.

I am building a module to save webcam/audio comments using flex to design the interface and write to a Red5 server.

I am deconstructing the Riffly module to write a module to have the flex interface appear with comments and write to the Drupal database.

Adobe teamed up with Google and Yahoo! to "enhance the searchability of SWF content by helping their spiders playback SWFs in the Flash Player runtime. The project runs SWF files within web spiders and allows all contents within a SWF file to be read by both major search engines. The cool part is that this also covers dynamic data loaded in from requests to a server, these are typically ignored in both AJAX and SWF applications.

For those interested in seeing my slides from my DrupalCamp Colorado (2008) presentation, Flex/Flash/AIR Interfaces for Custom Content Types in Drupal they are on SlideShare.net at:

I'm using Flex to build cross-domain widgets that can be embedded on any domain. These widgets consume data via Services and AMFPHP. Unfortunately, I've been notified that my site is now vulnerable to attacks because I have a liberal crossdomain.xml policy file that allows connections from any domain.

Anyone interested in collaborating on Zen like flex theme, specifically someone who can code the AS3 DTO's? The idea being to model the project after the features and functionality currently available in the Zen theme, but built in flex.

Its my feeling that if we had one good starter theme for flex it would allow designers and themers to more easily get started creating more advanced flex themes.

I'm also wondering if there might be some overlap or lessons we can learn from the patterns.module. http://drupal.org/project/patterns
