[Flashr] Flashr and AS3

[Kelvin Luck]

Hi,

Flashr is written in AS2 and as such isn't directly compatible with AS3. 
You could maybe make it work using a system like Flash Interface:

But I wouldn't recommend this. You are probably better using a Flickr 
API wrapper written in AS3 such as as3flickrlib:

http://code.google.com/p/as3flickrlib/

Although I recently played with this and found it missing some of the 
functionality of Flashr (for example queuing and caching).

I'd quite like to write an AS3 version of Flashr (with e4x and the new 
event model it would be very easy to get the basics of it implemented) 
but I don't think I'm likely to have time in the near future...

Hope that helps,

Kelvin :)
