Alessandro Crugnola SEPY , , ,

SEPY ActionScript Editor running on TigerWorking on my new mac mini I finally managed to get sepy run for OSX (actually i made an installer for OSX 10.4).

I’ve also put a new testing Windows version here: http://sourceforge.net/project/…&release_id=340550

AMFPHP 1.0 milestone 2 alpha

Alessandro Crugnola amfphp , , , , , , , ,

Today Patrick released a new milestone of amfphp: Chnages in this alpha release:

  • Added new methodTable option (per method) “fastArray” => true|false for fast array serializing on return (will only make a difference for large multidimensional nested voodoo arrays)
  • Added new method Headers::getHeader($key) available from all services, also HeadersFilter.php added
  • Added FrontBase support
  • Added Pear::db support
  • Added CSV-based recordsets support
  • Renamed sql folder to adapters to fit with the CSV recordsets
  • Various bugfixes for PHP4 MethodTable class
  • Major overhaul of service browser, should work much better now
  • New actionscript template system for service browser, see browser/templates/ for examples
  • Added new return type binary that will write the value as a string but without charsetHandling
  • Added new return type raw that will write to the output stream directly (careful)
  • SSL with ie hopefully works now

Some new methods included recently, which you can use in the gateway.php file (for production env): – disableStandalonePlayer() Disables the standalone player by filtering out its User-Agent string – disableServiceDescription() Disable service description from Macromedia’s service browser – disableTrace() Disables remote tracing – disableDebug() Stops debug info from being sent (independant of remote trace setting)

Flash/Javascript Integration Kit

Alessandro Crugnola actionscript ,

As just read on the Mike Chambers blog, here the link to the beta release of the Flash/Javascript Integration Kit (How can i miss it?!?)
It works on these browsers/OS:
* Windows IE 6.0
* Windows Firefox 1.0
* Windows Opera 8.0
* Macintosh Opera 8.0
* Macintosh Firefox 1.0
* Safari 1.2.4 and 2.0
* Linux Firefox 1.0.4

and it can be possible to communicate passing complex object data type such as:
* objects
* arrays
* strings
* numbers
* dates
* booleans
* nulls
* undefined

In the installation page there’s also an example of the usage in flash:

import com.macromedia.javascript.JavaScriptProxy; 
var proxy:JavaScriptProxy = new JavaScriptProxy(); 
proxy.call("javaScriptMethodName", "arg1", new Object());

See docs here: http://www.osflash.org and http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flashjavascript/readme.html

Is CGWS becoming open-source?

Alessandro Crugnola general ,

Christian Giordano, a friend and one of the Flash artist I estimate a lot for his creativity, recently decided to begin to make his works sources available for download.
If you never visit his site I suggest you to see some of the examples he’s publishing on the download area.. really nice!

p.s. See you next week, i’m flying to Malaga for a little holiday 🙂
