I recently have been receiving numerous requests from around the world to join the codebase and I am really impressed by the interest that has been generated throughout the community.

The codebase is currently under construction as I simply have not had the time to fully implement all of the functionality that will be required such as the CMS.

For those of you who are not familiar with the codebase it is an open source ActionScript code repository whereas registered users can upload ActionScript classes as well as download other users classes and both use and extend each others classes. At the moment the codebase is in read-only mode and I still have over 1,000 classes to add to the repository.

I will keep everyone up-to-date as to the status of the codebase on my blog while it is in development, afterwhich I will continue to write posts relating to new developments of the codebase.

If you would like to join the codebase just send me an email with the following information and I will set you up with an account.

Below is a quick class that I wrote this morning for managing popup windows in mxml / Flex 1.5. It is an all static class therefor it is easily managed. All that is required is that you pass two arguments to the createPopUp method. the first argument is the scope of which the popup need be created and the second is an mxml component which should be instantiated in the popup window.

Last week I added a few additional ActionScript 2.0 base classes to actionscript.org which can be viewed at the following www.actionscript.org

I plan to regularly add additional base classes to my blog over the next few weeks. I have an extensive library of ActionScript 2.0 classes that I plan to post to the Source Code section of this blog by the end of the month.

After delaying getting my Adobe / Macromedia Certification for some time now, I went and took the Certified Flash Developer Test tonight after work and Passed. I am proud to say that I passed the test in 1/2 the alloted time.

Overall, I don’t think that the exam was to challenging. I never read any of the exam books or study guides. I really didn’t study either. I’ve just been using Flash and ActionScript for a long time. The test did cover pretty much all of Flash and made sure that the developer was well rounded and experienced.

I will post a link to my name on the macromedia certified developers page once my information is submitted to thier database. Below you can view the results:

Congrats!
