First Air Application

I have been pondering about Adobe’s Air product for some time. I currently use tweetdeck which is an air application I use to handle my Facebook and twitter accounts. I really enjoy it and decided I would make my home security system an Air application. But I needed to start somewhere.

I remembered a clock tutorial from Adobe’s Devnet and decided it would be a cool place to start. So I opened the example (time2) and modified it to have a transparent background and added an event listener so you could drag the clock around the desktop… Give it a try and let me know what you think…

Extension of AS3Glue’s Blinky App

Recently I have been playing with the arduino quite a lot.
I have been working towards creating a pc based home security system that I could customize myself.
One of the goals to reaching the security system was to figure out how to get flash or php to talk with the arduino. This weekend I achieved that using Firmatta and AS3Glue. Since my sisters where down this weekend helping me with my water heater install I decided to make it interesting for them too. So below you will find a youtube video of my app. I will post source, and layout hopefully tomorrow.

-Edit:
Now you can download the Sourcecode for the video above.
blink+
You will still need to download AS3Glue in order to load the appropriate Firmata and have Serproxy.
