Flickr changes its cross domain policy and allows Flash applications to load images from Flickr server and to modify bitmap data of the images. The new cross domain ploicy file(http://static.flickr.com/crossdomain.xml) lets Flash applications on any servers to access Flickr images.
Before the change, you can load images from Flickr server. But, you can not access the bitmap data of the images and can not make bitmap data using BitmapData.draw() method. Now, it is possible.

To access the bitmap data, you have to set LoaderContext.checkPolicyFile to true.

public var context:LoaderContext;
context = new LoaderContext();
context.checkPolicyFile = true;
loader.load(loaderUR, context);

You can pass data from an HTML document to a Flash movie via FlashVars or query string.
In AS2, these data are defined as variables in the main timeline(_root). But you have to access the data using loaderInfo.parameters in AS3.

var userID:String = loaderInfo.parameters.userID;
var pathXML:String = loaderInfo.parameters.pathXML;

The 2nd Seoul Media Jam will be hosted on August 31st. The 1st Jam took place in November 2006, right after the MAX Korea ended.
At Media Jam, media artists share their works and ideas. At this time, some Japanese artists will join the Jam as presenters.

I’d like to share my own ActionScript classes.
There are not many classes until now. But, I’m going to add more class files and update them.

If you want to contribute your codes, feel free to leave a comment to this post or e-mail me.
I’ll upload your files on my homepage.
