I started the library to support Google’s Ajax search API.
Later on, when I found some new webservices, I added those too. At the end, the entire library was one messy organically grown library.
So I decided a while ago to clean that mess up.
I hope those changes make the library at least a bit more transparent and easier to get.
If you want to update the library your using, the easiest way is using FDT.
The classes are still on Google Code, where a new version of the library has been committed into the SVN.
The old classes have been moved to the branch folder. There is also a new update for GoogleEyes, containing the new libraries.
You can download those libraries here.
GoogleEyes demo app can be found here.
The project is hosted on Google Code (see).

Adobe AIR supports multi-screen by offering the developer a Screen-class.
This class makes it possible to detect screens, get some info, and that’s it.
To open a window on a screen, you’ll have to do some calculations yourself.
To make positioning screens, moving screens, … easier , I quickly build a ScreenManager that takes care of your NativeWindow(s).
Make an instance of the nativewindow and send it throught the manager.
Like this:
var nw:NativeWindow=new NativeWindow(new NativeWindowInitOptions()); nw.width=250 nw.height=90 var mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip(); //movieclip with content nw.stage.addChild(mc); ScreenManager.openWindowCenteredOnScreen(nw,2);
The ScreenManager is a static class.
It allow the developer to control a NativeWindow through the following methods:
(incorrect signatures)
and the following properties:
The ScreenManager can be downloaded here .

We released a new 0.7 version of the Spring ActionScript framework yesterday. This release is the first official release since moving from the Prana framework to the Spring ActionScript framework and contains a bunch of fixes and enhancements to the IoC container, an experimental MVCS package and a lot of new utilities. We also removed the Reflection API and now provide that as a separate library called AS3Reflect.
For more info on Spring ActionScript 0.7, please see the official annoucement at http://www.herrodius.com/blog/160
More info on AS3Reflect can be found at http://code.google.com/p/as3reflect/
Hope you enjoy this release. Happy coding!

A while ago, I have build an API library in AS3 that interfaces with Google’s own javascript API. To show you how performant this API is, I included a demo-app at the bottom of this blog.
The library is a simple collection of the API’s features, there is a class per feature, like Google Web search, Images Search, etc. Each library throws it’s own event with an Array of matching datatypes, for example GoogleWebItem, so it’s easy to keep track on wich data is recieved and what this data contains.
This api contains:
This API is Flash & Flex compatible.
var googleWebSearch:GoogleWebSearch=new GoogleWebSearch()
googleWebSearch.search(txtInput.text,0,lang)
googleWebSearch.addEventListener(GoogleSearchEvent.WEB_SEARCH_RESULT,onWebResults)
private function onWebResults(e:GoogleSearchEvent):void{
for each (var result:GoogleWebItem in e.data as Array){
trace(result.title, result.url)
}
}
You can download the library here (updated).
The demo app can be found here.
Right-click in the app to see source-code.
