CSS selectors for AS3
Posted on Monday, August 18th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Traversing the display list in AS3 is so tedious. I wish I could use jQuery/CSS/XSLT style selectors:
jQuery has spoiled me with easy DOM traversal. Instead, we have to do this:
Edit: It looks like someone has ported the $-style traversing to AS3. Finally!
$('stage movie button').addChild(child);jQuery has spoiled me with easy DOM traversal. Instead, we have to do this:
stage.getChildAt(3).getChildAt(12).addChild(child);Edit: It looks like someone has ported the $-style traversing to AS3. Finally!

It's a Flash Embedded device for $180.
Touch screen, accelerometer, microphone, speakers, light sensor, wifi, leather panels...mmm...
Anything I make in Flash I can put on this baby as a fun new toy. Like an alarm clock that streams music from my web server, or a FAP browser that I'm pretty sure only I would use.
FAP Trail

One part breadcrumb trail, one part FAP.
FAP Trail starts with a page of random works. By clicking on works that you like it learns and offers works that you might be more interested in. Eventually you will recieve a gallery of works that accurately reflects your tastes in art.
This was built using fAPI, the open API for Furry Art Pile.

I have a weird relationship with AS3. As a designer, I hate how different it is, but, as a developer, I love how much easier it is to work with:

To help inspire growth on FAP, I've released A Quick FAP. It's kind of like how people share videos on YouTube, now artists can share their works on their blog.
