Links From Today's Adobe eSeminar: Bring Facebook Into Your Flash Apps

I gave an overview on using the ActionScript API for Facebook in Flash applications today for Adobe APAC, another thank you to the folk who attended - it's great to have you come along regularly.

Adobe have great content available on their Developer Connection, I'd suggest that as the first destination for developers. As promised here's a list of the links for the various sites that I used during the presentation.

Links for Adobe InContext Editing & Contribute eSeminar

I presented another eSeminar for Adobe APAC today on InContext Editing and Contribute - thanks to the folk that took the time to join me, I hope that you learnt something about the two products today.

InContext Editing is an online service that you can use to make simple changes to web content on your own site from within a browser, you use Dreamweaver CS4 to make regions of a HTML page editable while maintaining control over visual styles.

Contribute is an Adobe product that is included with a lot of the Adobe software bundles. Like InContext Editing you use Dreamweaver CS4 to make regions of a page editable, Contribute offers the user more features like image tools and the ability to work offline and post to a number of popular hosted blogging solutions (this post was created offline in Contribute and posted to a TypePad account).

New Sitepoint Flash Builder/Flex 4, Catalyst, PHP, Twitter How To

Yep, I've been burning the candle at both ends again writing another article for Sitepoint.  It's a how to for building a Twitter/Flex 4 app, with a bit of Photoshop/Flash Catalyst design stuff first.  The app utilises a PHP Proxy to connect to Twitter so that it can operate in the browser without the need of a cross-domain policy.

A big thanks to Sitepoint's Raena Jackson Armitage and her mighty PHP skills and help for the article which can be found here: Social Media on Twitter Using Flex, Part 1: The Basics - http://www.sitepoint.com/article/share-media-flex-twitter/
