Hello, Following the ARP success stories, but
considering that not only ARP, but all the OS technologies we’ve used are
responsible for this story, I’ve decided to tell our story at osflash
mailing list. :o) I use Flash since 2001, and from the very
beginning I’ve felt that Flash would represent a turning point on what we
call an “application” and how we experience the web. This year,
2006, I’m finishing my graduation on Computers and Telecommunications
Engineering at ISCTE, Portugal, and I’ve proposed as my final graduation
project the development of a RIA for managing fashion modeling agencies –
requested by a (probably future) client. I have a colleague working in this with
me, and on March we’ve finished the SRS. We were using the Flash IDE, but at 29th
March,2006 I’ve seen a post on the king Aral Balkan’s site, titled
“Open Source Flash Case Study for TradingPost.com.au”. Quoting: “In
the study, Edwards mentions how their use of open source tools saved them over
110 hours in compile time”. I’ve got curious and started investigating
on open source flash technologies. Today, after two months, I’m proud to
present an almost finished prototype of our application, at http://www.castingoffice.net . After cleaning
for bugs, the current version is for presenting at faculty on July, and the
final version of the application will only be finished on October. Probably
the application will be a bit slow depending on your internet connection, but
it is intended to be run on a LAN, so connection speed will not be a problem. To login into the application, you can use
the following account: User: osflash Pass: test I’ve removed this account server side
permissions for uploading and deleting images, and sending SMS. To change the
language to English, just mouse over where it says PT, on the right top corner.
I alert you that it is not fully localized, so there might be some strings that
won’t change to English yet. I also alert you to the fact that this is
only a prototype, so the application is not fully functional, and there might be
some bugs and interface improvements missing. We’ve used: MTASC AMFPHP Eclipse+ASDT+ANT+AnyEdit ASWING ARP + extensions (Herreman’s Configuration
and Locale; Grant Davies’ Command,System Controller and ServiceDelegate; and
some modifications we’ve made) PHPThumb PHP MySQL We have also used (not open-source): Flash 8 IDE ServiceCapture (trial, until it expired! L L) Navicat MySQL Client Some interesting features: -
Intuitive IDE, with usability
in mind; -
Application can send mass SMS; -
The search is very fast, and sensible; -
Automatic synchronization of models
with the server; -
The look and feel; I hope you like it (opinions are very
welcome)… if you do, our teachers will surely like too! (as we hope so)
;). But the most important.. THANK YOU OSFLASH,
THANK YOU!!! J J J João Saleiro PS: Once you go ‘osflash’, you
never return |
