Thanks to alex uhlmann who released the source code of his presentation at MAX, I’ve managed to do this little flickr slideshow based on his CubeRotate flex effect.

This effect, beside all the others in the flex component, are based in Sandy (a great opensource 3D engine).

Using the flickr libs from labs.adobe.com first I’ve created a very simple slideshow to take pictures from my personal gallery, then I followed the examples provided within the Alex’s files and voilà.. a little but indeed cool effect 🙂

Just one remark. I need to put a PHP page on my site with reads the flickr image file, using php’s function readfile, otherwise all the bitmapdata effects couldn’t works, because images are not from the same domain…If someone is interested I put toghether also a little tutorial on how to make it.

For more informations read the original entry @ Alex Uhlmann blog.

P.S. Do you like that little boy in the first picture? 🙂 It’s me!

AMFPHP & NetConnection Call.BadVersion

If you used at least one time AMFPHP you probably had already encountered the NetConnection Call.BadVersion message.
This seems to be a very common issue for anyone who’s beginnig to develop with Flash Remoting in PHP. In fact I often read message from guys who had this this error while trying to use AMFPHP remoting.
The reasons of this error are often the same or at least similar, for this reason I thought to create a page on the wiki space about this problem.
This is a list of all the common situation where the Call.BadVersion appears. I get most of the poits reading people’s posts and I hope you will contribute to create the most comprehensive list about this common problem.
