Gilles Bertrand gives us some tips on how to use your favorite framework with flex.
Check it out here ( for english people just check the mxml file )
That’s nice… 
I was wondering how lowRa could be integrated in Flex, and have started looking for other frameworks. But it seems I won’t have to change anyway.
So thx Gilles for sharing this

AS3 – Lowra and Flex

The Lowdown website – Sandy 3 and lowRa
Hello there,
The 1st of December was the launch of a website I’ve been working on : The Lowdown.
This website is part of the New Zealand Ministry of Health’s national depression initiative (NDI), which aims to help young people recognize and understand depression, and encourages them to seek appropriate help, or puts them in touch with trained professionals, thus to reduce the impact of depression on the lives of New Zealanders
To create this website we have used lowRa and Sandy 3 so was done using AS3.
The site is plugged on the Silverstripe CMS, using amfphp 1.9.
Thing is both of those AS3 libraries, at the time the project started, were still in beta, and not all the features needed to develop the website done yet.
First in lowRa was missing the assembler which helps you to load dlls ( assets, classes ) and build the application at runtime ( create plugins / view / custom objects, … )
Second, Sandy didn’t get any mouse interaction on the texture level, ie interacting with InteractiveObject but also text links ( not that easy when you’re actually clicking on a snapshot of a display object )
So the first task has been to develop those. This project helps as well adding other features / fix in those libraries.
I’m quite happy to see they’ll be integrate in those libraries.

AS3 – lowRa Assembler
Hello there.
So as some of you maybe know, I’ve started a project some times ago, and decided to do it using lowRa ( read this post )
and start doing the assembler part ( heavily based on the pixlib one ). The thing is I had not time to really finish developing all the features I wanna add to it.
So I decided to post it on the lowra group as is.
It is working, but some of the extra features aren’t fully integrated.
I’ll maybe have some free time in a week or two to finish it. Hopefully then I’ll be able to do a small example and this tut I’m talking about for MONTHS now…
I wish 48 hours day ( even more ) could exist…

Oh and please post any feedbacks / advices you could have…

AS3 Framework – lowRa
Hello there.
In the AS3 project I’m currently working on I’ve wanted to use lowRa a framework started by Francis Bourre.
The framework is really advanced in the development but it was missing lots of the assembler part for the IOC ( Inversion Of Control ), meaning to load dynamically the assets and dll ( extenal classes ) and create the modules / plugin at runtime.
So I’ve started putting my hands in the code to make it happen.
And it’s almost here. Everything is working, loading the assets, the dlls, creating the plugins, creating the loader, and any object that you could have set up in your xml.
I still wanna add some features to the loader. For now the loader is showing only the percent downloaded of an asset / dll, not the percent downloaded on the total assets / dlls. So let’s say you have 4 files to download, the percent will go 4 time from 0 to 100.
I don’t really like this way of doing it. I prefer the user being able to see how much he has downloaded so far of the total.
The other thing is maybe people want to create only scripted loader ( no graphics, everything drawn by the drawing API ).
So I will develop those features today hopefully and I will post an example soon. The files hopefully will be available on the svn soon ( this is what I’ve heared )
Stay tuned it should happen soon

Kairos – The lowRa extension for the real time tween
Hi there…
On the prizee lab you will be able to find a good article by the creator of the extension giving you some explanations and basis to start using it.
The thing is, it’s only in french – I’ll see with them if we could have an english version or if I could translate it.
See the post HERE
But everyone can download the UML diagram of Kairos for AS2 or AS3
You should bookmark this blog anyway to get news fro, the guys behind lowRa and Kairos as they are working there
C you

lowRa – AS3 Framework using IOC
Hello there…
You probably know pixlib, a AS2 framewrok made by Francis Bourre.
Now with AS3 Francis helped by other developers is doing lowRa, a AS3 framework based on IOC ( Inversion of Control )
I’ve made a page dedicated to it here that will have all the information you need to start with.
AS it’s a new baby ( not even really released ) there is few information, but be sure that I’ll update this page as often as I can, and I’ll post on the blog to let you know that it has been updated…
C ya…
