Hello,

 

We are now making our final report about our project, castingoffice.net, to deliver on faculty. We would like to add some external opinions about our work on the report. We have already some opinions from modeling agencies, but we would like some “technical” opinions, especially from the community.

What we are talking about, is one or two sentences that will appear on the end of the report delivered to our teachers. Something like:

 

"Bethesda has gone and created a masterpiece. This is more than the best role-playing game of our times. It's the best one we've ever seen." - PC Zone - May 2006

 

But more appropriate and realistic, of course! (Bad opinions are welcome too!).

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
