Sorry for the very late post. It's been crazy in Nick-world lately!
We ARE having a meeting tonight. (No meeting in December, but we are having one
tonight)
The topic is a little hard to explain. I really liked last meeting where people
got into groups and made the bobble heads. Tonight's meeting I want it to be a
little more open-ended. So we were thinking we'd make a tree with ornaments
where if you click it, a user-made flash interaction loads up. So bring a
laptop if you have one, and if not, that's fine too.
So if Joejoe makes an animation of a dancing monkey, if someone clicks on his
ornament, then you'll see a dancing monkey come up.
This meeting will be rather open and social and a bit of silliness really.
Robert, Here are three Wordpress plugins that do the page turn. Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but it might give you some guidance if you plan on decompiling.
BTW, I meant to ask but forgot: What is Stratus? And…how secure is this? Does it create a VPN to the person to whom you’re sending the file, or does it rely on some sort of Stratus server as a go-between?
I want to show this to my boss and teammates, but obviously transferring proprietary data (like Honeywell military documents or projects) would be verboten.

I used this quite a bit as I was transitioning. I some cases it’s
pretty easy (i.e. “_alpha” is not “alpha” in AS3). In other cases, it’s not a
one-to-one transition and the FlashMN list will be a good resource for those ;)

I noticed that your BelugaFile installer and uninstaller claims that "LodeStar Learning Corporation" is the publisher (see attached). Do you want this ?

Nick,
Awesome application ! I have looked of solution like this prior but
resorted to FTP files.
Great detail even down to the logo and font. Nicely done.
Thanks,

It's opensource, the open source link is at the bottom of the page.
I need the finishing touch for a team creating a flash game. Looking into
finding a high level AS3 programmer. It is for a major client, and should be a
lot of fun, we have a lot of creative license on this one.
There will be some low level physics, and possibly 3d.
If anybody is interested get in touch with some info about your work, and I will
get you some more info.

I think there is a theoretical file size limit for flash uploading of 100mb per post?
But I have never personally tested this...
But that may not be an issue for what your doing.
One nice thing about using flash is you can show percentage of upload (progress)

Well, that depends. Personally, I cringe anytime I see a site developed all in Flash because it invalidates most of my web-browsing habits. A good example of this would be opening links in tabs - it just isn't an option in an all-Flash site.
Also, Linux users tend to get left out in the cold by Flash apps
(Flash player on Linux has a reputation for terrible performance).
OTOH, for a simple multiple-file upload form (without considering browsing or managing the uploaded images), Flash would work just fine. Based on your email, it would be faster to write than pages using HTML/CSS, too.

FDT wins if you're solely working on Flash, but it's also significantly
more expensive than the $60 they want for Sublime. Sublime is pretty
much just a text editor, with all the pros and cons that entails.
It's more a replacement for notepad or notepad++ than FDT/Flex Builder.
Still, seeing as I use those tools quite a bit here, that's a pretty
significant gain. It also supports pretty much every other language
syntax out there (like you'd expect from a full-featured text editor).
I'm compiling my AS3 code with Make these days, which Sublime supports
out of the box. You could make a Makefile that invokes mxmlc and then
you get single-key build support from Sublime, which would put it more
in the class of IDEs you're talking about, but you still don't get FDT's
pre-compile syntax parsing that we both adore. Still, at this point I'd
say it beats out FlashDevelop pretty handily -- even without intelligent
completion (which has never worked for me very well in FlashDevelop).
Sublime's coolest feature is that it uses your graphics card to render
out a super-zoomed-out version of your source code (fully syntax
highlighted/etc) that acts as a scrollbar. It sounds silly, but honestly
it's really helpful and I miss it in other editors now. You can
immediately jump to the bit you need to edit because your brain
remembers the "shape" of the source code.
