I just wanted to welcome Tyler to OSFlash... and offer a bit more background on the new project he's added to OSFlash, Wrapper. I've posted a few more details about it on my blog:
http://www.flashconnections.com/?p=39 and personally think it's got a lot of potential. He's been incubating it for some time now, completely on his own, and I think it's great that he's decided to take it open-source. The one thing I think it needs right away is some additional examples, which he's working on now (hopefully along with some other members of the community), so people can understand what it does, how powerful it is, and why it can be beneficial. So, please take a look at it; feedback/discussion/etc. is welcome/needed! http://osflash.org/projects/wrapper cheers // Lisa -- // Lisa Larson-Kelley http://www.flashconnections.com -------------------------------------------------- Flash Video for Professionals Now shipping on Amazon! http://tinyurl.com/2pl7ro -------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2008 12:34:01 -0500 From: tyler larson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [osflash] New open source project To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Hey everyone, I'm new to the list and I've just released my first large open-source project. I posted it on the wiki but some friends thought it would help if I talk to some of you about moving it forward. I've created an HTML/CSS renderer, much like DENG but a little different angle. I want to be able to make cool looking flash sites with HTML and CSS. To do that I've mapped all the great flash things (filters, blendModes, transformations, etc.) to CSS properties along with custom shapes, dynamic font loading and much more. In its current state most of the major HTML tags can be parsed and pages are displaying beautifully with percentage based layouts and real browser resizing based on the contents size. There is simple documentation on the google code page and a few examples made including a wordpress theme that I highly recommend all of you flash gurus to upgrade your blogs to actually use flash. You can view all the stuff from here code.google.com/p/htmlwrapper/ I'm off to a pretty good start but I need some help with some regEx things to clean the HTML and it would be great to get a few others on the project creating new things. I still need some work on components for form submission but I would like everything to be drawn dynamically and styled with CSS and still keeping the size down. The project is only 22K. Any ideas are welcome and any help that you guys want to give would be great. Thanks, - Tyler Larson
