AS3
Pure MVC

A fun site for the Bookmarks Awards site. You upload your portrait, select your body, hair style and other accessories. Then adjust your hue, saturation, brightness and color as well as masking out your jaw movement. Once done, you have your own rocker! Assets are “lazy loaded” to stop a huge initial load and are prioitised when required, much respect to the Bulkloader crew for a great loading library.

This is my first AIR/Flex application. I had a total blast creating it and i cant wait to start my next app.

What this app quite simply does is show you a list of your Facebook contacts and keeps you updated on their online presence. I initially started off wanting to allow you to be able to chat with your contacts, but due to the Facebook API rules, i decided against that, considering that this app is meant to be a learning project of AIR and Flex not the Facebook API.

AIR API used:

• mx.core.WindowedApplication
• flash.data.SQLConnection
• flash.filesystem.File
• flash.filesystem.FileStream
• flash.desktop.SystemTrayIcon
