A bit more than a year ago I launched flcodr. It was designed to be a way for me to learn PHP and also organise my actionscript snippets. I decided to open this up to the world so that people could share. The site is by no means perfect and it was my plan to rewrite the vast majority of it (which I have started). I have been tied up with other projects and moving house since then and flcodr has taken a bit of a back seat, but now that I have more time I will be able to make flcodr better and into the kind of site that you all will want to keep using, hold tight as it will be worth it!!

Question : Can Wordpress be used as the next social networking platform? Answer: Yes. OK, maybe you want a bit more detail and at least some proof of my exorbitant claims. That proof will be in the form of a brand new flCodr.com – a site designed to share and submit snippets of actionscript code. Using nothing more than Wordpress, off the shelf plugins and a bit of theme hacking I will show you how to create your own social site using Wordpress. About a year ago I released flCodr to the world. The idea was pretty simple; as a Flash developer I was always writing and re-using snippets of code....

Just a quick note about our sister site – flCodr. There is an update available for the extension panel. Find out more about it here: www.flcodr.com/download.php

A tag cloud (or weighted list in visual design) is a visual depiction of user-generated tags used typically to describe the content of web sites. Tags are usually single words and are typically listed alphabetically, and the importance of a tag is shown with font size or color. Thus both finding a tag by alphabet and by popularity is possible. The tags are usually hyperlinks that lead to a collection of items that are associated with a tag. A tag cloud is a set of related tags with corresponding weights. Typical tag clouds have between 30 and 150 tags. The weights are represented using...

This post is for any web site owner who wants to add a search plugin for their site. If your not too sure what I mean, then take a look in the top right corner of your browser next to the address bar, and you will see another input box. This allows you to search directly from the browser. If your using Firefox your default search in normally Google and for IE user its Live Search. There is a method to add your site so that users can find content without first having to go to your site. (take a look at flCodr.com to see this – simply click on the drop down box arrow and click ‘Add flCodr’). The...

Quick update!! After about a week of hard work the beta version of flCodr is now online. The basic idea is to have a repository of Flash code snippets online in a centralised location. The unique idea hear however is that the code snippets are available from within Flash by using the specially created extension panel (beta coming soon). There are still a few things that need to be ironed out on the site, but most of the major bugs have been ironed out. Head on over there now, set up an account and start sharing code today!! flCodr – really useful Flash code

Inspired my Lee Brimelow’s Snippet extension Panel for Flash I am setting up a new code repository for Flash Developers. If you don’t know what Snippet’s is, its an extension for Flash that displays a list of code snippets that allows you to easily add code to your projects. The snippets are held in an XML file which makes the app dynamic and updateable. (I recently created my own hard coded version of a Code Helper, which dynamically produced scripts for various custom functions based on an input into a text field). The fact that Snippets runs from an XML file means that new...
