To: 'Open Source Flash Mailing List'Subject: [osflash] OsFlash sucess story :o) Thank you OsFlash!!
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
