URL Encoding in Actionscript

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.

Flash on the iPhone?

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.

StringList 1.0 released!

So I’m keeping on my New Year’s resolution of getting my butt out into the CF/Flex communities, I’m happy to announce my second open-source project.

StringList is a nice little Actionscript 3 library that allows you to manipulate lists. Modeled after the ColdFusion list functions, it includes the classics like listAppend, listLen and listFindNoCase.

Yes, I know it’s not incredibly difficult to manipulate lists, but this is a great bridge for some of the CF folks coming over to Flex.

So, check it out, download the swc or the source, and go forth and be listy.
