Kelvin Luck’s Flasher

Yesterday my wife asked me if I could somehow display her flickr archives on her personal website. And to be quite frank I had been playing with the flickr API but never gave me the time to make something real out of it, so I started googling around and found out this great Actionscript 2.0 wrapper called Flashr by Kelvin Luck that makes it easy to develop Flash applications to display and interact with photos on flickr.com.

So this is a very simple example (based on an tutorial of the version 0.4 of Flashr and I updated it to work with the current version (0.5)) of what can be done with Flashr but I plan to add more functionality and eyecandy to it (I’ll upload the result of that).

I almost forgot here’s the script that make this work:

var mc:MovieClip = _target.createEmptyMovieClip("photo"+i, i);
mc._x = 1+(i%4)*76;

mc.createEmptyMovieClip("jpgHolder", 1);
mc.jpgHolder.loadMovie(thisPhoto.thumbnailUrl);

mc.onRollOver = function() {

};
mc.photo = thisPhoto;
mc.onPress = function() {
getURL(this["photo"].photoPageUrl, "_blank");
};
}
}
 
public static function main():Void {
var u:UserRecentPhotos = new UserRecentPhotos(_root);
}
 
public function toString():String {
return "[com.cecymeade.UserRecentPhotos]";
}
 
}
