:: Background

We have been working with ActionScript 3.0 for over five months and have already employed a diverse amount of AS features in the implementation of my first large-scale Flash and ActionScript project. Development of such projects is obviously done using the Adobe Flash development application.

:: Experience

• We were responsible for developing the front-end of a prototype Mashup for ArchStudio, a project of UCI's Institute of Software Research.
  • Custom display engine for rendering visualizations of software architectures that matched ArchStudio's existing visualization.
  • XML parser to translate an architecture's large (over 11mb) data file into a smaller file containing rendering hints for the display engine. This smaller file was then cached on the server for rapid viewing ability.
  • Several interactive elements which enable users to view the "mashed" features such as component bug status or implementation progress.
  • Integration with an independently developed Python back-end via PyAMF.
