Any plans out there for an AS3 Photobucket library?

Category: Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex

I’ve been working with the AS3 Flickr library trying to make MyStylez cooler with some Flickr + AIR drag and drop goodies and was thinking I’d eventually try to work in the Photobucket API too.

I haven’t seen any ActionScript library projects yet, but then again I’ve been sitting in the dark for two weeks writing code and staying away from the sun…very healthy indeed. You may have noticed I didn’t exactly go to town on the blogging either, pardon my absense :) as I’ve been wholly absorbed with so much code flying through my neurons I feel like my head could split.

Does anyone know of any plans to crank out an AS3 lib for the Photobucket API? If so, I might want to jump on that one.

    No ideas either, but I’d be interested too!
    By the way, isn’t the as3flickrlib Google group a little bit dead?

    It’s on my list of things to look into…if I wasn’t so busy. But a photobucket as3 library would be very cool. The guys on the flickr AS3 lib are still going at it when they can. They keep the svn updated still.

    One of these days I might try to tackle some of it myself, let me know if you’d be up to it and we can slap something up on Google code.

    Sure, I’d be glad to help!
    But these times are very busy ones so this is gonna be hard…

    I’ll let you know if I get some free time!

    I hear ya Quentin, it’s tough to find the time, that’s the thing with this market especially. This summer may or may not get really busy for me very soon, but I’ll find out soon enough!

    Once I have some time, I’ll at least get something started and if it’s decent we can put it up on Google code. Keep in touch and let me know if you hear anything about a PB AS3 lib.

    Here’s a first version of an AS3/OAuth library for the Photobucket API:

    @Luke,
    Completely awesome! I’ll be taking a look into the code this week to see if I can get MyStylez working with PB. I always liked Photobucket more than Flickr, so this is awesome!

    Must be a fairly new project though? I searched all over a while back and didn’t see anything out there just yet, but the API was only released a while ago methinks.

    Good stuff! Thanks for posting the link. I might jump on the project myself, and Quentin who posted earlier will be interested. Thanks again!

    Great news!
    I’ll have a look into this…

    @Quentin,
    I worked in the PB as3 library and it was insanely simple and easy to use. You’ll like it! Let me know if you need any samples to get stuff working. I only used a few method calls, but it all worked like a charm so far.

    This is really great news, unfortunately I don’t have much free time, but I’ll try to have a look this week end!
    Thanks!

    Hopefully you’ll get some time soon, its tough, I hear ya. But if you need some samples of the PB lib, give me a hollar. It was cake!

  11. Quentin June 3rd, 2008 11:21 am

    Sure I will!
    I’m mostly interested in the log+upload parts… Don’t know if you tested that?

  12. Dave June 3rd, 2008 11:28 am

    Got them both up and running in under and hour, and i have sample code for ya, just let me know. If I get time maybe I’ll post some samples on the blog too.
