The Flickr AS3 API and Flex

We’ve been using wordpress for our family photo blog for years. It worked well, 4 images in a horizontal scroll. It was kinda tough to navigate though. If you were looking for an image you had to click more… more… more… etc through 3 or 4 years of photos. I wanted something easier to update and navigate. I also wanted to play around with the Flickr API. Luckily the Adobe Flickr AS3 library is very complete. Unfortunately it is very lacking in examples, but the API is well documented so it didn’t take too long to get my bearings.

Here’s what I came out with. Really it is meant to fill the browser, so check it out here too if you are interested. Source is enabled on the movie. Codes sloppy, but it gets the job done. ;)

    Thanks for the example but….could you perhaps fix whatever is preventing the source being available? ISE 500

    Very nicely done! I’m on the home stretch w/ a Flickr / AS3 project, the lack of examples & call sequencing logic to the API has been a great lesson in programmatic flow to say the least. On top of that, I decided it’d be a great intro to PureMVC. Hey, I was lookin’ for a challenge. All I can say it has been a rough ride, but the knowledge gained is invaluable.

    Here’s the project’s URL, there’s view source enabled so if anyone has any suggestions / criticisms on my 1st PureMVC project, I’ll gladly accept some advice. I know there’s still some funny business happening within, but it seems like it’ll turn out to be a solid app.
