A while back I was looking for a canned media player widget for a Flex/AIR app I was fooling with and found this pretty cool dev center sample: Flex 3 Media Widget (the previous incarnation of this was available on labs here)
What made it even cooler were the source files it had for dealing with RSS and MediaRSS feeds.
I was starting to work on a new sample that needed to read RSS and remembered the aforementioned project, but couldn’t remember where I had gotten the RSS libraries from. I figured I would write this blog entry, so next time it will be easier for me to remember. 
You can view the source of the app here:
http://examples.adobe.com/flex3/devnet/mediawidget/srcview/
and download a zip here: http://examples.adobe.com/flex3/devnet/mediawidget/srcview/MediaWidget.zip
There is an AS3 library at: http://code.google.com/p/as3syndicationlib/, but I believe the code with the MediaWidget is newer, plus it contains MediaRSS parsing classes. Woot!

Well….about 2 weeks ago, I had a good run of blogging every weekday, but after about a week and a half, I had to go and ruin that trend. I decided to do some updates to my blog and that derailed my good posting record. Well now I am finished (hopefully) with most of my updates and will get back on track. Here are the things I have done:
- Updated to wordpress 2.6.2
- changed a few minor things in my custom theme
- added a new feed: Rubbernecker’s Reviews
- added a twitter widget to the sidebar
New Feed:
I used the Feed Wrangler wordpress plugin to create an additional feed. It was very handy and quite easy to use. I plan on adding another feed in the near future that contains all of my Monkey Index pages, so you can easily track when I add new pages.
Twitter
You will also probably note the new Twitter widget in my sidebar. I don’t have many followers, but if you would like to follow me you can do so by following this link.
I am also using the Twitter Updater plugin to automatically post new tweets for each blog post I do, so people can potentially keep up with new entries that way or through my main RSS feed
…and now back to the regularly scheduled programming…
