Posted on April 9th, 2009 by Shan
Thanks to Matt Chotin, Violet has added a crossdomain.xml file to their API. So, I went in and removed all the code that was needed for the proxy. Enjoy version 1.1!

URLValidator for AS3/Flex
Posted on January 22nd, 2009 by Shan
I had the need for a URL Validator for a Flex project, and couldn’t find one. So, here’s the code:
cf-flex-user-auth Released
Posted on January 10th, 2009 by Shan
I’m happy to announce the immediate availibility of cf-flex-user-auth, a starter application for developers building Flex applications with ColdFusion on the backend. I’ve been working on this for a while now, and it’s gone through two complete rewrites. The idea behind this is for developers to be able to download this source code, and have [...]
Welcome to my new site, again
Posted on May 6th, 2008 by Shan
I’ve finished moving everything over to WordPress now. I ditched the Flex site I was building because since I started it, I’ve decided to make my site less of a personal site and more of my portal to the Flex/AIR/CF community. Also, since I had started that site, I’ve started to focus on open-source projects, [...]

I’ve finally created the event for those of us that hang out in #coldfusion and #flex, that are going to CFUnited. Many expressed interest in such an event, so let’s do it. http://crush3r.com/page/jzyugdodsf When you sign up, be sure to include your /nick and real name, so I can make some nifty name badges.

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. oauth-as3 Google Code page
Spellchecking in Flex
Posted on March 28th, 2008 by Shan
I just came across <spellcheck:*>>, a neat replacement for the TextArea and RichTextArea components. It provides client-side or server-side spell checking, along with custom dictionaries. The best part is that it’s donation-ware, so just claim you built it yourself, it took a week, and pass your hourly rate along to the author*. Just don’t send [...]
Shan’s Simple Examples
Posted on January 24th, 2008 by Shan
I’ve started a series of posts on the Webapper blog called Shan’s Simple Examples. I’ll cover Flex and ColdFusion examples as I help others in the IRC channels #flex (EFNet) and #coldfusion / #cfflex (on DALNet). Hopefully this will turn into a nice library of quick HOW-TOs for us developers. See a list of blog [...]
