CheckPlayer (a tool for easy Flash Player plugin detection, upgrades, and SWF embedding), and flXHR (pronounced flex-er, a tool for direct, client-side, cross-domain fl-AJAX communication) are two new foundation projects from the 'flensed' family.

Austin, Texas June 18, 2008 -- The flensed family announces CheckPlayer and flXHR (pronounced flex-er), two revolutionary projects that redefine how websites can leverage and interact with SWF assets. CheckPlayer provides a powerful yet dead-simple interface for web authors to check the Flash Player plugin version, initiate inline auto-updating, and embed SWF assets at any time. flXHR is a drop-in replacement for the browser's native XMLHttpRequest (XHR) object, but with powerful new features like direct cross-domain communication support.

flensed (http://www.flensed.com) is a free, open-source (MIT licensed) family of projects for harnessing the largely untapped power of Javascript+SWF(+HTML/CSS). These projects are a re-thinking of how SWF's are used on web pages, bringing the power and usefulness back to Flash-on-the-web. Because Flash is so common now (Adobe claims almost 99%), flensed is positioned as the best way to solve many of the most challenging cross-browser problems in a totally consistent, predictable medium.

CheckPlayer is a repackaging and extension of the well-known SWFObject (v2.1) library, which means the web author gets both libraries -- the best of both worlds. It provides some revolutionary new features, and makes adding SWF's to a page almost effortless, compared to the old days of hand-coding <embed> and <object> tags. In addition, CheckPlayer provides an incredibly easy-to-use interface for checking the version of a browser's Flash Player plugin, and prompting the user to update it if the page requires a newer version.

Combined with the powerful functionality of SWFObject, CheckPlayer is a complete solution for embedding and interacting with SWF's on a web page. Any page already written to utilize SWFObject 2.0+ will integrate easily with CheckPlayer.

flXHR is a powerful new approach to the frustrating cross-domain security restriction problem (Javascript is blocked from communicating with a server at a different domain than the page). Mash-ups, third-party application integration, and code re-use are just some of the many reasons why this type of behavior is so important to today's Web 2.0 pages. But until now, Javascript-only (or worse, server-proxy-based) solutions have had to jump through many ugly, insecure, inefficient hoops to make this happen.

flXHR changes all that. flXHR implements a compatible API to the native XMLHttpRequest (XHR) browser object, while adding a few helpful nuggets to the mix. Most importantly, flXHR uses an invisible SWF instance which makes use of Flash Player's robust cross-domain security model, to directly punch through this domain barrier, instead of working around the barrier in sub-optimal ways like the current solutions do. The result: flXHR is literally a drop-in replacement for XHR, with more power, security, consistency, and ease-of-use than XHR itself ever had. Because the API is fully compatible with XHR, flXHR can easily be adapted to work with many of the most popular Javascript frameworks, including Dojo, Prototype, and YUI to name a few.

CheckPlayer and flXHR were jointly developed for open-source release and for a commercial application for software company Pointserve, Inc., located in Austin, TX. Pointserve is using the flensed projects to strengthen how their application interacts with partner applications and with the end-user. "flXHR has really improved the way I write cross-domain scripting code. It removes all the headaches from ugly workarounds -- it's so powerful and easy to use." (Brian Ruhl, Lead UI Developer, Pointserve, Inc.)

CheckPlayer and flXHR are battle-tested and ready, but now promise to get even better as the open-source web community gets ahold of them. flensed is blazing a new path for how SWF's can be used not just to bring bells and whistles to a page, but to truly integrate with and strengthen its architecture and its scope.

5 flensed gets some press! flXHR,flensed, http://www.flensed.com/fresh/2008/06/flensed-gets-some-press/ Missing Attachment

Jens Brynildsen writes for a fabulous site called FlashMagazine.com. He was kind enough to do this great article about flensed and specifically about the flXHR project. Please check out his site, because there's tons of great information there.

Another great article on FlashMagazine.com was written by Scott Delamater. I found it really direct and informative, and it helps to clear up some of the confusion and common misconceptions about Flash platform technology. I encourage everyone to read this article, and to link to it and spread it around, as it will only help all of us Flash afficianados to convince the non-Flash community of its wonderful benefits!

6 Ajaxian.com highlights flXHR flXHR, Ajax flXHR XHR, http://www.flensed.com/fresh/2008/06/ajaxiancom-highlights-flxhr/ Missing Attachment Ajaxian.com is an incredibly well read site with tons of amazing articles about anything Javascript and AJAX related. I've read the site for a long time now. Dion Almaer just put up a great brief article highlighting the flXHR project! Go check it out, and while you're there, check out all the other great content that Ajaxian.com has to offer. 7 new flXHR demos posted flXHR, xhr jquery dwr flxhr, http://www.flensed.com/fresh/2008/06/new-flxhr-demos-posted/ Missing Attachment I've put up two new demos... 1. Demo #11 (a, b, and c) is a demo showing integration with jQuery... it uses a patched version of jQuery 1.2.6 which I was able to convince the jQuery dev team to make. Hopefully the next release of jQuery will include the patch so everyone can share in the joy that is flXHR. It operates under the same premise as the other framework integration demos.2. Demo #12 is an interesting demo... it shows actually a more brute force way of adapting flXHR into a page. It literally overwrites the native XHR object (and for IE, the ActiveXObject instantiator) and forces a flXHR instance to be returned instead. This is useful for any scenario where there's no way to adapt a set of code to use a different XHR, but you still want to use flXHR. For instance, the DWR framework has a similar restriction to what jQuery (without the patch) has, which is that it exposes no way to override the transport creation.
