[Flashcoders] Server side Flash position open in San Francisco at Flash game platform startup
Hi guys, I have a position open in San Francisco. This is more of a 'server side flash' position. Thanks! Work on the Mochi Media Flash ad infrastructure and developer tools. Your code gets run millions of times a day worldwide to our network of flash games. Write compact, efficient and reliable software from the developer APIs down to the server delivered Flash that communicates with our back end technologies. Understand the ins and outs of Åctionscript 1 through 3 while coming up with new and creative ways to better deliver the user experience and tools our developers expect. The ideal candidate will have solid overall engineering experience from common server side technologies to client side code with the flexibility to dive anywhere in between. They will have the tenacity to solve problems under hard constraints and quickly understand the impact of code and design changes in software that gets delivered millions of times a day to different Flash environments. If you worked on the Flash player, you've probably got the skillset we need. Familiarity with ActionScript 1-3 and proficiency in UNIX a plus. If that describes you, let me now describe Mochi: Mochi Media is a startup dedicated to fueling the creativity of the gaming community. Through the MochiAds network of games, we reach over 60 million users each month, providing tools and services to support the creativity of game developers and enabling advertisers to reach their target consumers.

Re: [Flashcoders] The Charges Against ActionScript 3.0
Great article Colin, thanks for your work!

The removal of on()/onClipEvent() from Flash CS3 makes creating simple interactivity hard. 2. Getting rid of loaded .swf files is hard. 3. Casting DisplayObject.parent makes controlling parent movie clips hard. 4. The removal of getURL() makes linking hard. 5. The removal of loadMovie() makes loading .swf files and images hard. 6. ActionScript 3.0's additional errors make coding cumbersome. 7. Referring to library symbols dynamically is unintuitive. 8. Adding custom functionality to manually created text fields, to all movie clips, or to all buttons is cumbersome. 9. The removal of duplicateMovieClip() makes cloning a MovieClip instance (really) hard. if you have comments, please leave them on the article so i can respond if necessary. colin ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
