時光倒流第二集 – Thanks FLABER

5 years ago

“點解會寫 FLABER 呢?”
呢個係每次比人訪問既必答題~

4 年 CS 既生活~ 有一樣野我自己唔係咁開心既~
就係唔可以寫自己鍾意寫既 language

C++, 68000, JSP, Servlet, etc… 就係無 Flash…
當然啦~ 我完全明白 CS 教 Flash 係無可能既事
所以呢 4 年我都不停咁自己爭取o係唔同地方用 Flash

Year 1 o個陣 take 既 Internet Communication 我寫左一個 pure Flash 既 web
Year 2 CCIV 我用 Flash 整 navigation menu
Year 2 SEP 我用 Flash 整左 testing progress bars
Year 3 Placement… 哈~ 每日都o係 Expert Exchange 流連~
Year 4 FYP…

FYP 絕對係我盡情發揮既地方~
但先決條件係要有 professor buy 我 idea 做我 supervisor
試問 Flash 做 project… 有幾多 professor 能夠接受呀~ Thanks Andy! 我諗你開頭信心都唔係咁大~

決定做 Flash 之後~ 真係花左好多工夫留意市場上無 d 乜~ 要 d 乜~
最後就做左 FLABER 出黎~

如果 FLABER 係一個人的話~
我諗我會同佢講… “多謝晒~ 你比我既野實在太多~”

事實上我放o係 FLABER 上面既時間真係唔多…
起碼比 Warcraft 少…
但係 FLABER 帶比我既野真係數唔清…

一堆獎項~ 一堆機會~ 一堆朋友~ 一堆回憶~ 唔… 有 d 誇 tim…
其實仲有一堆麻煩~ 一堆工作~ … =.=||

Anyway~ FLABER 2 不遠矣~

I am going to Adobe MAX to MIN (Blog Entry for MAXUP)

MAXUP Barcamp
Ben Watson’s We Demo You Going to MAX

Well… The title seems stupid but the actual meaning is not. I am going to Adobe MAX to learn more from the conference and from the other participates. (Of course I will share, in case I am not the least knowledgable one in the event) With that knowledge I can develop even more applications (mainly open source~ nah), so that all the users can minimize their effort, their pain, their time in making great works. That is why I am going to MAX to MIN~

Okay~ Is time talking back the application that I have done in previous year. My application is called FLABER (FLAsh-based web BuildER), it is a pure Flash RIA scripted in ActionScript 2 with PHP as server support. In short, this application allows web owners to easily build a website using Flash technology even if they don’t know how to program in Flash. We have done a testing that even a 10 years old girl can make up her own Flash web site.

Originally this project is started as my final year project in City University of Hong Kong. (in other words… homework…) Since the first public release in SourceForge, I received many great feedbacks from the public. That is why I made FLABER now as an open source product so that everyone can benefits from it.

Okay~ too many words… here comes some screenshots.

The following shows a web that I made using FLABER.

Actually it looks like a normal web page but it have on stage controls.

For larger images and details, please do a visit to the FLABER Wiki

Of course a live-demo is also available here.

Actually there’s more for FLABER, that is FARSER (Flaber-xhtml pARSER). This is a PHP program written by one of my friend Tim SHIU. The function can be easily guessed using the program name. It can turn any web done by FLABER into W3C valid XHTML documents with single click~!

You can experience yourself right here
Well~ I hope everyone will enjoy using my application~

P.S. A new version is on-the-way coding from zero using ActionScript 3. And of course, I will use any more advanced technologies that I learned in Adobe MAX.

And here comes my portrait~ captured in Osaka, Japan.
