I’ve put up two new demos…
1. Demo #11 (a, b, and c) is a demo showing integration with jQuery… it uses a patched version of jQuery 1.2.6 which I was able to convince the jQuery dev team to make. Hopefully the next release of jQuery will include the patch so everyone can share in the joy that is flXHR. It operates under the same premise as the other framework integration demos.
2. Demo #12 is an interesting demo… it shows actually a more brute force way of adapting flXHR into a page. It literally overwrites the native XHR object (and for IE, the ActiveXObject instantiator) and forces a flXHR instance to be returned instead.
This is useful for any scenario where there’s no way to adapt a set of code to use a different XHR, but you still want to use flXHR. For instance, the DWR framework has a similar restriction to what jQuery (without the patch) has, which is that it exposes no way to override the transport creation.
Ajaxian.com is an incredibly well read site with tons of amazing articles about anything Javascript and AJAX related. I’ve read the site for a long time now. Dion Almaer just put up a great brief article highlighting the flXHR project! Go check it out, and while you’re there, check out all the other great content that Ajaxian.com has to offer.
Jens Brynildsen writes for a fabulous site called FlashMagazine.com. He was kind enough to do this great article about flensed and specifically about the flXHR project. Please check out his site, because there’s tons of great information there.
Another great article on FlashMagazine.com was written by Scott Delamater. I found it really direct and informative, and it helps to clear up some of the confusion and common misconceptions about Flash platform technology. I encourage everyone to read this article, and to link to it and spread it around, as it will only help all of us Flash afficianados to convince the non-Flash community of its wonderful benefits!
