My first (working) Flex application. It displays a public google calender. It's build upon the new XML object which introduces a couple of new things to the flash world like namespaces and E4X.

26 Sep: Flex Google calender
posted by: martijn, at 26 September 2006 11:31 GMT+1, 17 August 2009 23:30 GMT+1
Update: This app was my first encounter with Flex. Using this code is not advised and not supported.Here is my first Flex application that is worth publishing. It's an app which visualizes a google calender (if it is public). For this example I choose the Adobe Apollo calender made by Mike Chambers. Flex introduces a new XML object which handles XML like it should be. It supports namespaces, E4X and more. I struggles a lot with the namespace stuff and think my app can be much simpler. This app will be updated when I learn more about Flex.
The Flex Google Calender 0.1:
Because of the flex sandbox i've written a wrapper in php to open the calender.
If anyone of Google is reading this, please place a crossdomain.xml file in the root of google.com with a little * in it as allowed domain
If anyone has tips for me for my flex app please mail me at: martijn (at) devigner (dot) com.

at 21 March, 2007 21:32Hi Martijn,Wow, flex and gcalendar together! I'm learning flex right now and this is the first calendar example I've seen. I tried to download the zip file on the viewsource page but it doesn't seem to work. When you get a chance, could you make it available again.Thanks,Drew -

at 8 December, 2007 19:55I'm learning Flex too. I'm able to create an Array collection from the Google calendar feed but have been using the debugger to try and parse the XML hierarchy without a great deal of success (stupid coercion errors! :) Thanks for sharing this! -

at 3 April, 2009 10:10Hello Martijn, Your Calendar 0.1 is exactly what I was looking for! I am googling like this calendar about 2 days. Before that I tried to make like this calendar by Flex 3 about 2 weeks, unfortunately I couldn't made it. Because I am really really newbie to Flex , AS also programming language too. It was really diffucult stuff for me. My idea was make like this calendar with flex using flex dateChooser control and take some event values on this calendar from my google calendar. When I click on the event day or marked day that events detailed information show in textfiel something like that... Exactly same with your Calender 0.1 right?When I download your Calender source code I didn't understand well how it is working because of my bad programming skill. Could you make some tutorial for your Calender 0.1? For me and for someone who is trying to learn Flex.Sorry for my bad English.Best regards BK. -
