ReviewTube source code now available
October 15, 2006 on 9:03 pm | In Flex, Programming | 4 CommentsI’ve posted the ReviewTube source code here in advance of my talk at MAX 2006 on Flex Best Practices. Making this source available was, in fact, the main point of the ReviewTube project. Eventually I will post the slides from the talk, once I’ve delivered it.

Thanks for posting your code Joe, the only problem I has was that your ReviewTubeComponents.mxml file was named ReviewTubeComponents.mxml.template. After stripping the .template off it compiled successfully.

Thanks, Rich — I realized this morning that this would be confusing and have since added a README explaining what needs to be done.
Note that although you can compile the app by just renaming the .template file, it won’t actually work until you fill in the YouTube developerId property with a valid ID.

Yep, see it now. Sorry Joe, I just jumped in and compiled without checking the README :-)
Great work. See you at MAX.

By googling for youtube and subtitling i found your great application. I donwloaded a trial version of flex for eclipse and i’m now trying to understand it all. I have no dev experience with flex or flash and i’m in a bit of time shortage (many ideas, plans, but so little time: you probably recognize that problem ;-) I want to set up and integrate my own commentserver. So i was wondering if you could enable this application with a hook into the XMLhttpOperation part. And let it echo all url’s, data traffic etc into a seperate tab. I’d then be able to create my own server.
BTW: my compliments on the quality of your coding. I don’t consider myself an expert coder, but from what i’ve now seen: your code is well organized! It’s inspired by MVC right?
Also, if i could make suggestions for further improvements: your application could become a great tool for educational purposes: for example: allow for adding links in the comments: so video watchers might click on it: target opens in a frame on the side of the video.
Or.. have the link loaded automatically.
