Facebook Phone

I’m not totally new to it but here’s my summary of how this project has begun.

Download Flex 4 and setting up a new project was quite easy.
The difficulty starts with the editor. No code assist makes things more difficult than Flex 3. Especially considering that I’m not familiar with the new architecture. I’m sure a Flex Builder 4 pre-release will make this a lot easier.

The spark skin is rather ugly (as was halo) but even more so. I don’t expect any of this styling to remain in the final deploy.

I can’t seem to find any of the documentation for the current spark components so I mainly using the whitepapers posted on opensource.adobe/gumbo and examples posted on FlexExamples.

Well, basically its skype for facebook.

I’m not sure if it has been built already but i will give it a crack.
I’ll be using the new peer to peer connectivity in Flash player 10 to achieve this.

Also since my main experience is in Flex development I will use Flex 4 (Gumbo) to create it.

Designs will be primarily based on the iPhone phone design.

I also plan to use the new adobe-facebook as3 api library to assist with facebook api calls.
