Dan Florio – Creative Actionscript Developer
I’m a freelance Actionscript/Flex/AIR developer working from home in Crestline, California. I’m available for occasional office visits in the Southern California area. I am not available for fulltime onsite work for anyone at any price.
What I can do for you:
My focus has been on rich media viewers in Flash and Flex. That’s creating custom video players that integrate dynamic navigations, slide shows, etc. I can build you a Flex app that integrates with your database using binary ( AMF Remote Objects or AMFPHP ), webservices, xml, etc.
My core skills, at your command:
- Flex/Actionscript development
- Video players
- Database driven Flex Applications ( see RunPee.com as example )
- AIR applications: SQL-lite, custom chrome, local file system storage, etc.
- User eXperience design and usability
- Bitmap manipulation and effects
- Interactive 3D interfaces with PaperVision3D or Flash 10
- But wait, there’s more…tell me how I can help you and your company
Note: I am pro-American and support equal rights for all as our founding fathers intended. Specifically, I believe that gay couples should enjoy the same rights and privileges of a heterosexual couple. I DO NOT work for bigots. If you disagree with the preceding then just keep on walking. We don’t serve your kind around here.

3/01/2008 – current RunPee.com is my own personal project. The idea, features, coding, design, UX are all my work. ( The only exception is the animation of the n that RunPees which was done by Chad Wixom. ) In creating this site I wanted to make it usable for non-savvy computer users – thus the large buttons for the most common features. I expect that the vast majority will use this site only to get information about when to RunPee during a movie. And very few will ever add data. Since this is a wiki I attempted to use a conversational tone with all the text to try and put people at ease. For instance, in the sorting nav on the upper-left the option alfebetical is purposly misspelled. The thought is that people who notice that will feel more at ease about adding their own content if they see that there are already mistakes. The site was created with the Flex framework using AMFPHP/MySql on the backend. |

12/10/2007 – current This is a video player – named DarkSynth that I’ve created for a group of doctors who use it to show videos from private conferences that they host – it’s all private so I can’t show the video player on their site. In fact, I can’t even see it myself. What you see here is the same video player with my content added. You can see that each video comes with a selection of slides – which in the doctor’s version are from a PowerPoint presentation. Features:
I’ve formed a great relationship with this group. They know what they want but not how to get it. They really appreciate that I’ve listened to them and come up with solutions to sometimes contradictory requests – like a large video and slides in a small space. I still do tweaks to the video player as needed and I handle the video encoding for them. |

pixDIF is an Adobe AIR application that I created for designers and developers. It helps people measure distances on screen and compare design comps to design implementations to see where the differences lie. The app is free to download from the Adobe AIR Marketplace. |

Concenflickration is based of the common game Concentration where you flip images over in pairs and try to match them up. What’s different about this version is that the images are pulled at random from Flickr public database.
Note: Concenflickration is currently unavailable as I rebuild it to work with a MySQL database using AMFPHP |

XanaduWest.com : My personal photography website. Created way back in 2006. It’s probably the best example of my design skills that I’m not well known for. :-) The highlight of the site is that it’s entirely driven by XML. So one file controls the layout of the navigation and the photos within that category. That’s not earth shattering today but it was on the edge when I made it. You can read more about the project or visit the site. |

PXP2 : A utility class written in Actionscript 2 to load and convert XML into an Object of Arrays. You supply the path to the XML file and the callback function to return the parsed data to and PXP2 does the rest. Very similar to E4x but for Actionscript 2. | |
