This 100% flash site is for a production and editing house in Soho, it includes video, audio and images.
The site makes use of swf address for the deep linking; I used this project to create a basic framework for swf address based on the pure MVC swf address framework, but much simpler.
The design is by my good friend Andrea Bernauer.
Take a look at the site here: http://studio81-uk.com/

Today I made a multi touch input device from a cardboard box, webcam, picture frame, a piece of paper and some tape.
I followed this tutorial: http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/1731/
It was really easy and I had it up and running in les than 30 minutes after I got all the parts together.
Here is a video of it in action and photos of the box.

Its just a webcam in a box!!
Thanks to Tim John for putting me on to this workaround
“This is annoying, but if you set a timer delay of a few hundred milliseconds, then call Mouse.hide() that should work.”
I’m currently developing a touch screen application in Flash AS3 and thought I would deploy it as an AIR application. However I found out that the Mouse.hide function doesn’t work in AIR 1.0, even though the documentation sys otherwise:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/ui/Mouse.html#hide()
this isn’t that much of an issue as you can just publish a flash file as an EXE but it does mean that I have to have all the linked assets with the EXE, whereas if it was an Air app all files would be included so less could go wrong when it gets sent to the client.
I was trying this in my full screen application with custom chrome, but also tried it in a brand new AIR file and the mouse cursor is still visible.
If any one has got this to work and I’m just being stupid pleas let me know or if you have the same problem let me know I’m not alone.
Update: Mouse hide Solution found
This is an AS3 component that uses the Yahoo Flickr API to request the thumbnail photos based on the search criteria, which can be titles or tags.
A grid of 20 thumbnails is displayed along with the total amount of photos available for that particular search, the thumbnails are split in to pages of 20 very easily as the Flickr API request allows you to specify the amount of images you want per page and what page you currently want.
I have noticed one error with the response, the total number of images changes randomly as you change page, you would expect it to increase now and then as people upload new photos but it decreases sometimes, which is a bit odd.
You can also view the full size image and title by clicking on a thumbnail.
I wanted to see how easy it would be to deploy this component as a standalone AIR application. It was as simple as changing the publish type, you can try the Flickr viewer AIR app here
I was part of the team at Emak Mafu that built this 100% flash AS3 site with an AMF PHP backend for an architect.
I created components to display 100% of the text and images on the site, I also created the project page component and the thumbnail people explorer in the contact section.
