I’m taking a break from the pattern tutorials for the moment to write the as3 facebook connect integration library I’ve been meaning to write. With that said, here’s a little method I didn’t realize was around to pull properties from classes. Normally the for..in method you can pull properties available within an object, but this [...]

A lot of sites today are very open with their APIs allowing users from other sites to retrieve their data, but sometimes you’ll come across websites that may not have that same open access. When their sites limit the access that other sites can retrieve data from via the crossdomain file it’s frustrating to say [...]

Yesterday I did a presentation on ExternalInterface and it’s uses along with how to inject javascript on the page and a few other tidbits at FlashCodersNY.
Here’s the zip file with the project we went over. Whether you were there or not you should still be able to easily follow along since there’s tons of comments [...]

On my quest to make the facebook actionscript connectivity as easy to work with as possible I needed to be able to reproduce the
?View Code ACTIONSCRIPT1
2
<script src="myExternalLibrary.js">
</script>
call in order for everything to work appropriately.
After some searching I came across a clip of code that worked beautifully

[Quick Update]
I discovered there’s actually a class in the actionscript api called SendLiveMessage. Not sure yet if I can utilize this to listen for updates from facebook but it’s a start.

Ok just first of all, I would like to point out that the method in my previous post was in all actuality not a recursive method. It loops through objects in that class but not the same object consecutive times.. my bad.
On that note. Thanks to Hudson Ansley on the flashcodersny blog for pointing out [...]

So I’ve been working on incarnations of a mapping application over the last year or so and am rather happy with how it’s been growing so far but one thing has come to my attention.
The map pulls in hotel properties and displays them as markers on the map depending on the x and y values [...]

So I have a client who wanted to have mp3’s that the user could listen to and also download. Since I’m very against having to constantly manage a clients content I wanted him to be able to have no problem adding and removing mp3 files. Normally, one might have an xml file that the user [...]

So I’m currently working on my first mxml project at work (I’ve done other stuff but not at work so they were much less involved).
I realized a little in to the project that using the TextArea control can be a bit of a pain the ass at times. Namely, I couldn’t find a way to [...]

So I’m currently in a flashCodersNY meeting and today’s topic is ANT. Wow! I’ve messed with ANT slightly in java but oh you can do some sweet stuff with ANT and Flex deploying to a server. Will try and update later…
Starting from the younger days of Flash Thaylin taught himself actionscript when he decided he wanted more from flash than to just be able to move some movie clips on the timeline.
This eventually led to schooling for Software application programming which gave him an even more in-depth look at the programming world. Loaded with the new found knowledge of Java and C++ (among others), he dove even further into actionscripting and started working for Raytheon doing E-Learning solutions.
Thaylin is currently the lead flex/flash developer at Starwood Hotels and Resorts and resides in New York City taking in as much information as humanly possible. When not coding he prefers to donate his time to New York Cares helping the community out whenever he can.
