Features of Flash To The People

The Framework of Flash to the People is comprised of several "components":
  1. The DataConnector, enabling you to connect to, to map and to present XML data and data offered via Flash Media Servers like Red5
  2. The DataStreamer, enabling you to create and implement several different streaming data concepts like Audio / Video conferencing, Audio/Video capturing and Flash Object Sharing
  3. The PseudoHTML-parser, that understand CSS settings and parses the XHTML offered by the user into gorgeous Flash User Interfaces

Basic interface concepts
The Flash To The People Framework offers the basic GUI concepts like: tabs and tabshets, text fields, dropdown boxes, popup windows, buttons, checkboxes, radiobuttons and scroll-lists.

Advanced (organic) interface concepts
The more advances interface concepts includes: the appledock concept, scrollbar-less scrolling (using the mouse x/y position within the bounding box of the list to determine position), canvas-based interfaces (where all objects are placed and organized on a large canvas you can move around instead of using "pages" on a limited space).

Connectivity
Bottom line: 90% of all data-connections are Copy & Paste clones of a standard approach: including the ones used for (video) conferencing and chat clients in Flash. So we standardize them into simple components with their own PseudoHTML tag.

Multiple user interactivity
Using Shared Objects in Flash, you can move balls around on the screens of your friends, but also share workspaces and work together or share and watch a presentation online.
