    Ribbit, the company who is building a Flex based API for integrating telephony within Flex based applications has now had their official release party and has now opened up their components to a public beta. They have also announced a new contest:

    The best Ribbit Phone (like Joe Johnston’s AIR iPhone) will receive a top prize of $2500. Both the Ribbit team as well as the developer community will vote for the winners. Official terms of the contest will be posted to the Ribbit developer community upon start of the contest.

    Check out this very cool new technology at developer.ribbit.com

    I have also added a permanent link to Ribbit in the AS3 Libraries page.


    AIR AlertMXWindow Component (Toast Style)

    December 18th, 2007

    After requests from the release of AlertWindow which extended flash.display.NativeWindow yesterday, I am releasing AlertMXWindow which extend mx.core.Window allowing for the inclusion of any mx component.

    This version operates the same as the NativeWindow version rising from the lower right corner of the screen and pausing for the delay time set by the application or the default of 3 seconds. It also has the ability to bounce if delay time is set to 0 and notify is true.
