Hello List: Some months ago, I was inspired by all the mashup/API stuff happening on the Web and came across a Google-powered RSS feed for movie listings (built by isnoop.net). It occurred to me that this type of thing could be incorporated into a Rev app and I wound up putting together a widget/gadget of sorts that illustrates its use. You enter your ZIP code, hit enter, and the stack finds theaters in the area, from which you can view current movies and showtimes.
There is also Google Map link that links you to browser directions for the currently selected theater -- done by a less elegant scraping of Google HTML, but it seems to work (this is a bit of a cop out -- ideally this feature should be incorporated using revBrowser, but that's a project I'll save for version 2...). I think it would be great to see more of this kind of thing done in the Rev community to demonstrate the possibilities of Rev apps that use current technologies. Anyway, I thought folks might find this fun and/or useful. The stack was built in Rev 2.8.1 and tested on OS X, Vista and XP (apologies to international listmembers, the stack is set up to work only with US ZIP codes). All of the key code is in the card script. To view the stack, execute the following in your message box: go url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/moviefinder.rev"; Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, Multimedia & Design _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
