photoDesk RIA demo

Check out our cool rich internet application based on flash 9 that makes it possible to discuss images online in a whole new way. There are even video tutorials available on the website. Be sure to check out the amazing live feature with a friend!

As the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words”, photoDesk live can give you a whole new experience of sharing and communicating your ideas about pictures.

photoDesk enables users to simultaneously arrange and manipulate pictures online, through a flash application that connects to the photoDesk Live Server. In combination with a voice-over-ip solution it tears down the wall in communication about pictures. photoDesk provides an direct and innovative way of viewing and discussing pictures online. It just takes your desk with your pictures spread out on it and makes it virtual. Selecting a set of pictures becomes as natural and intuitive as it always was in the analog world.

This is not a public release, but everyone who is really interested can check out our photoDesk RIA demo at http://photodesk.bounceme.net.

Please be aware that the demo is not running in a appropriate server enviroment and might be slow or unstable. Be nice and only upload small image sizes!

Read more about it and see screen shots on my website photoDesk project on bedenk.de/sign

enjoy and please give me feedback

Flex 2.0 rotation

We are currently working on an advanced Flex 2.0 project. No details yet, but soon to read about it in this blog. But what we discovered working on it is that the Flex framework has some lacks regarding rotation of elements.

While the "no device font in rotated objects problem" is already known we tripped over some new interesting stumble stones.

- For example placing a rotated element in a canvas doesnt generate the scrollbars as you would expect, but only takes the width and height starting from the upper left corner to define the size of the element.

- Another problem is using the implemented drag n drop with rotated elements. It seems like there is a "non dropping area" created that resembles the size of the used canvas (or other element) at the top of the application. While this area is out of screen for unrotated objects it comes into stage when rotation is applied. For example a 180 degrees rotated object can be invisibly found in the top left corner of your application. This might be a bug in our application or a flex feature, lets see...

We are working on these things and i keep you up to date when we figure out how to solve this problems.

brand new bedenk.de/sign blog

Finally I started blogging, too. My name is Thomas Bedenk and I'm a designer and web developer living in Nürnberg, Germany. This blog is going to be mostly in English, just b/c I will probably talk about some technical stuff and English is just the language of international developers.

So wait - before going into details I should say a welcome to the readers of my blog. And if no one reads this it will be a get-rid-of-some-thoughts-blog

For everyone accessing this blog directly, my website can be found at bedenk.de/sign

So long, happy surfing and more to come soon…
