SWX: SWF Data Format

SWX is the native data format for Adobe Flash. This blog is about all things SWX, SWX RPC, SWX PHP and the SWX APIs (Flickr, Twitter, etc.)

Flower Field

In Flower Field by Eugene, a lovely green field fills with multi-colored flowers that react to your mouse. The flower heads are made from randomly-selected flower images from Flickr.

Flickr Word

Eugene Flickr Word

In Flickr Word by Eugene, you type some text and see it displayed using Flickr photos, either as a font, or (as in the screenshot above) with pictures of letters. Right-click to access the various options. In full-screen mode, I was able to use the scroll-wheel (two-finger dragging on my MacBook Pro's trackpad) to quickly change the zoom factor.

Also, make sure you check out this one guy's travel, 35mm film, and SE Asia blog, Fotography.

Flickr Desktop

In Flickr Desktop by Eugene, photo thumbnails are flung randomly onto a virtual desktop. Click to drag (and fling) photos around. Double-click a photo to see it larger. Right-click to change the placement of photos (to see only photos, drawings, the last twenty or a random selection) and to go full screen.

Flickr Fractal
