Flash Kit Desktop Released

[Ronnie Shaw]

I have created a new application. It parses the Flash Kit XML feeds, organizes them into a Tree and displays them neatly on your Desktop. The built in browser lets you check out each of the topics.

So, with this new application, you can check out the newest post from your favorite forum... Flash Kit... right from your desk top.

If I get a good response from this application, I will update it to do the following:

* When you click on a link in a post, it will open a new window

* Make application remember who you are so you do not have to sign back in

* Add additional feature if I am given them...

Several people have downloaded this application... please provide feedback.

I changed a couple of items to spice up the application, and fixed one bug.

Change Log Version 1.1

* [BUG] Made application remember you when you sign in.

* Added animations and movements when changing topics using the Flex easing function

The new version is now available for download

Dude. You're awesome. I've yet to really have time to play with both of your most recent creations - swamped with an ongoing Flex nightmare that won't go away...

I'll give some more time to your apps once I get rested up. 70+ hours a week for the last 3 weeks is... overkill.

Thanks.... and I fully understand the nightmares. I am the type of person that when I run into a problem, I will ponder for hours with it until I figure it out. And this application... well, I play with it for a bit... then think of something else... and a few hours later... a have a new version., I just can't ever seem to step back and say enough... lol. But I believe Version 1.1 has plenty of effects and eye candy... I will put in some other features as people ask for them. But there is only so much you can do with a "one way" RSS stream.

Glad you liked it... I wore a keyboard out on it! lol
