Wow, just got back from Flash On The Beach and I must say… awesome! So many inspirational sessions, such a great atmosphere… I’m gonna post some quick video’s / photos this weekend, when I can hook my cellphone to my windows laptop (unless anybody knows a way to get the files on an N80 imported on OSX? I’m really looking forward to seeing some of the speakers at our own multi-mania event this spring!
Aral Balkan just announced he extended the deadline for the SWX competition to midnight December 2nd (GMT). So… no “not enought time” excuses anymore!
I took the time today to add a simple code generator to the SWX service explorer. Right now, it spits out inline AS2 code for your service methods. I’ll add AS2 class generation and ARP code generation in the near future…

So, you want to learn how to create a sexy blog in flash, creating posts, comments, database storage, …? Are you afraid of spending hours writing complex queries, parsing XML data or writing loads of php files? Don’t be, and see the power of cakephp and SWX combined. CakePHP being a rapid development framework for PHP and SWX, the native data format for the flash platform! Continue reading ‘flash remoting with SWX and CakePHP’
Aral Balkan released SWX version 1.0 a few weeks ago. I finally found the time to incorporate the changes into CakeSWXPHP! The changes include the swxAssembler class (instead of the old swfCompiler) and the rebranded service explorer.
Go to the cakeswxphp page for the latest downloads!
I took some time updating my cakeswxphp package to the SWX beta 1.3. One of the new features is the new service explorer from SWX.
You can test your cake gateway, pointing your browser to the /explorer/ directory, gateway location being: cake_amf_gateway.php

Enjoy!
As some of you might know, I’m a great fan of the cakephp framework. It is a rapid application framework for php. Cakephp already had a subproject called cakeamfphp. Looking at the code from cakeamfphp, I was able to get SWX running and call the cake controllers as remoting services.
Go to the cakeswxphp page for the latest downloads…
Just copy/past in your cake directory! Gateway locations are:
swx.php (SWX)
amf.php (AMFPHP)
json.php (JSON)
Currently it uses an adjusted version of SWX, based on SWX beta 1.0. I will try to update it to future versions of SWX when I get the time…

Hooray! Popforge, an ActionScript 3 code library by André Michelle and Joe Elbert is nog open source! I was especially interested in the audio classes, that enable you to generate audio at runtime in AS3. You can check out the library at the google code page.
Back from FMX since yesterday evening! It was my first conference abroud, and I enjoyed it a lot!
Saw some inspiring sessions, such as the one from André Michelle about synthesizing audio in flash 9 and Mario Klingemann with “The Blind Sketchmaker” (can-computers-create-art-?-chinese-people-can).
Thanks a lot to Peter Elst for the guest ticket, and introducing me to some of the speakers over there! Had a great time during the conference and the buffet / party / quest-for-other-party-place afterwards. See you guys at multi-mania in a couple of weeks?
