AMFPHP Flex Guestbook

Would like to present you the first beta release of my Flex Guestbook. A week ago I’ve started to write a tutorial on creating a full featured paging, but ended up in a more complex example.
The application is tied with amfphp services which so far can return comments and insert them, the client part formats and displays posts, has a paging feature and of course a simple form to insert your data. At this point I stoped, to show the work in progress, so you could help me to define what other features I can add. Of course, there should be an admin part to moderate the content. But should it be an external app, or be right there in guestbook? Should there be multiple administators/moderators with different access level? Or maybe something is wrong or uncomfortable in existing version?
Would really like to hear any suggestions, meanwhile feel free to test the FGuestbook demo.
After getting some feedback, I’ll finish this project and open-source it.
As all my other projects it’s build on PureMVC framework, so it should be a good example for pmvc users or those who would like to learn it!
Mac Style Flash Menu

I always wanted to re-create Mac OS X menu in flash, so considering that it’s a bad practice to invent a bicycle, I started to look for some examples, to see what others might have done. As expected, I found a bunch of shitty ones, but there always is a light in the end of a tunnel. Finally I found a really nice one at http://jrgraphix.net/. Link to post and example is here. It’s an ActionScript2 class that looks really nice, so I took it as a base for my AS3 version. Click on the image below to see the example.
As you see, I refactored the class so it’s properties could be dynamicly changed. The example is build on PureMVC framework, so handling events like updating properties of menu or listening for it’s events is pretty simple.
There is actually a little bug, that I was too lazy to fix. It’s when mouse is over the menu, and then exits swf area, menu doesn’t return to it’s initial state. No big deal.
So feel free to download and examine the source. Maybe someone can create a cool application out of this. For any questions, bugs, or whatever else just contact me.
Sliding Puzzle Game

I’ve made this one using Flex and PureMVC framework. Also AMFPHP for high scores. As for design - “Darkroom” theme(modified a little bit) from scalenine.com. By the way, you can find some more cool themes there if you need. I always do so when I feel lazy to draw something by myself.
Anyways main goal was to test PureMVC framework on a real example, to see how fast would I be able to complete a project like this one. The resault was amaizing - I’ve finished all the functionality in less than a day! Though the code isn’t very clean, but thanks to mvc structure it would be easy to refactor.
If I’ll find some free time to clean the code, I might open-source it. But if you need a project like that, or just curious, contact me and i’ll send you the source.
The rules are simple :
- you should place pieces by way of following numbers from 1 up to 15.
- Your goal is to collect a puzzle for smaller amount of turns.
I solve it in less than a minute. Try it out youself.
