A source download for people who need a place to start, any place, as we probably all did at one point.

When i first started building the more complicated applications with flash, i felt the need for a good example on how to start. I thought that if someone could show me his way of tackling the problems, i might just be able to find my own way to do the same things. Ways that i could understand and suited me in my everyday work.

After a lot of browsing, reading, asking questions to the guru’s etc. I finally came to something that worked…..well it worked for me in any case.

I refer to it myself as a ‘framework’ which i use over and over again, as a starting point for my projects. This helps me getting up to speed when my vision over the final result is still completely blank.

So in the hope this will help someone save some time browsing, reading, etc. I’ll put the framework online for anyone to see. Remember though, this is not ready to release quality stuff. It needs some major refactoring and is build with “if it works….don’t touch it anymore” in mind. It’ll still cost you some time and effort and might not even suit your needs at all. In that case, you’ll at least have something to look at on a rainy day :)

What it is:
- A set of flashzone classes i use for my projects
- A set of external classes which are used or can be used

What it can do:
- The framework will make preloading of multiple swfs a breeze (tx to qlod)
- Included is a standard preloader, but can be altered to your needs.
- It has standard support for Runtime configuring your flash app
- It has a more informative way of using the trace command by providing a LogManager

It has some other funky stuff built inside, but let’s keep that part of the surprise.

What it is not:
- A complete suite, which is usable for any project and does not need any modification
- The best (sometimes plain bad) written lines of code
- suitable for AS1 fanboys.

The classes within, are not the newest versions, but new enough. If i have the time i’ll post progress and my own findings of made mistakes.

Long story short, download it here and talk about the trashy code in the new setup forums :)
