Atom ActionScript Class v.22
Just a quick fyi. I have updated my ActionScript 2 Atom class.
You can find more info on the latest changes, and well as view the class here.
W3CDateTime ActionScript Class
As part of the ActionScript 2 Atom class that I am putting together, I have created an ActionScript class that represents a W3CDateTime string. This is the format that Atom uses to represent dates.
A beta of the class and simple usage example is included below. If you have any questions or suggestions (especially parsing optimizations), or find any bugs, please post them in the comments.
Atom Feed ActionScript 2 Class Alpha
I am putting together an ActionScript 2 class to represent and parse Atom feeds. I have put together an early alpha version of the class, but wanted to get some feedback on it before I continue work on it.
EventProxy.as : Proxying Events
One of the issues I ran into while building the MXNA WebService example app, was that both the ComboBox and DataGrid both broadcast “change” events. This meant that I could not have a separate function to listen for each event (and have the functions run within the scope of the feedView class).
MXNAFeedView.as
Here is the next class from the MXNA Web Service sample app. This is the MXNAFeedView class, and is the main (and currently only) view class of the app.
It contains most of the UI elements for selecting and displaying categories and feeds.
You can also view the MXNAAppController class.
I will post the rest of the classes as I comment and finish them.
As usual, if you have any suggestions or questions, post them in the comments.
MXNAAppController.as
I am going to post the class files for the MXNA WebService App I put together over the weekend. I will post them as I add the comments.
I will eventually post all of the source, but I want to work out all of the kinks first.
The first class I am posting, MXNAAppController is the controller for the application. It handles all communication with the web services on the server, and contains a single view class, that contains most of the UI elements for the app.
So, if you find any bugs, or have any suggestions, post them in the comments.
