URL Encoding in Actionscript

Posted on April 28th, 2008 by Shan

Sometimes you just need to URL encode a string (URLEncodedFormat() in CF, or urlencode() in PHP), and not actually make a HTTP request. Here’s a simple library for you to use, that I wrote for my OAuth actionscript lib.
Attached is URLEncoding.as for your enjoyment.

OAuth Actionscript library

Posted on April 28th, 2008 by Shan

Over the weekend, I wrote an actionscript library for client implementations of OAuth. It’s currently untested, but I’d love to see a few people help me keep it up to date & bug free, if anyone’s interested.

Flash on the iPhone?

Posted on February 11th, 2008 by Shan

First time I’ve heard rumors that Flash was actually on it’s way to the iPhone.

I have faith that this will happen, even if it has to wait till Adobe gets access to the SDK along with the rest of the world. Let’s hope it’s already done, and they’re just testing it.

NabaztagAPI beta 2 released

Posted on December 28th, 2007 by Shan

So I finally got on my lazy butt (I sit while I code, don’t you?) to finish coding the choreography stuffs. There’s a couple tiny bugs in my code, mostly having to do with sorting. I also need to finish up the metadata so the ASDocs are more useful.
Anyway, have at it…

Apple, *PLEASE* Announce Flash on the iPhone at Macworld

Posted on December 28th, 2007 by Shan

I hope that this year there’s one more iPhone feature… Flash on the iPhone. There’s probably going to be an update on the SDK, and what better way to show their support to the developers by announcing that Adobe’s been using the SDK to write a native Flash Player plugin?

Nabaztag API for Actionscript 3!

Posted on December 21st, 2007 by Shan

I’m proud to announce my first open-source project. Webapper was kind enough to give us employees each a Nabaztag/tag Rabbit for Christmas. Being the tinkering developer types, we instantly wanted to start messing around with what the bunnies could do, so I wanted to write an application that would let me just send commands to [...]
