trippr - Flex3

Posted by: Ian In: Actionscript| MXML

I decided to dive into Flex a couple days ago, and I have to say I’m very impressed at how much functionality you can get out of a minimal number of lines of mxml. I was able to build in minutes what would take me hours to code from scratch in Flash. This toy/experiment started off as the introductory Flickr RIA tutorial over at adobe labs, but I had to put my own twist on it. Trippr takes a tag or list of tags (”rose,pink”) and then bombards you with resulting images from flickr in alternating add/subtract blending modes. I found that this pattern of blending modes tends to burn in details while producing some very vivid colors. You can change the background color, the number of images to blaze through, and the image size. Go discover some psychadelic images!
