Facebook + Flash on May FUG

This is cool! I will be speaking about using Facebook with Flash CS3 this coming FUG session for May :)

Seems that the usergroup now has live video streaming so I guess its gonna be exciting, gotta do up my slides a little more proper then!

If you are residing in Singapore, or visiting Singapore any time, try to catch us at our monthly usergroup sessions where we share ideas and talk about everything flash/flex!

Photobucket releases API!

Wow! Shunjie from expertria.com dropped me an excited note telling me that photobucket had just released their API and I was pretty much excited. This is absolutely good news, I haven’t had time to fiddle with it but hopefully that flash-friendly features like crossdomain.xml are on where they should be. Facebook are you hearing this? We are pleading with you to place crossdomain files on your image farms pleaseeee?

Note when using startJSBridgeSession in Facebook AS3 API

Just decided to jot this down in case I forget in the future. Might be useful for those developing with the facebook as3 API too. When you are using the JSBridgeSession, it is important to add the event listener for Event.COMPLETE before starting the session, otherwise your callback function in the event listener will not fire.

Bug in JSON

Was working on the facebook API earlier and ran into a wierd problem where the JSON decoding was causing some conversions to go awry for reasons I didnt have the time to investigate. But basically it was causing very large numbers to get round off towards the last few digits. Went to the SVN and grabbed the latest copies from the repository and its working now. So all those who downloaded the default copy on google codes might want to update your JSON libraries if you encounter a similar problem.

Wordpress 2.5 + K2 upgrade successful!

Have just successfully upgraded wordpress to the latest and greatest 2.5 and I think they have done a really good job. Wordpress boasts a very powerful blogging engine and most importantly, it is very user friendly and easy to install.

For those who have K2 on the previous version of wordpress, you might encounter a fatal error after upgading. Simply upgade to K2 RC5 from the SVN nightly release while Steve from K2 is working hard to push out a release.

I am currently using this SVN that appears to be working fine except for some quirks with the layout:
