Welcome to WikiFlashed.com!
It has been always quite difficult to find a particular piece of code or solution to a common task or problem for designers and developers. Now that Adobe introduced Actionscript 3, a lot of the existing resources for Actionscript 2 turns obsolete. WikiFlashed is determined to become the most complete and centralized solution resource center for all Flash/Actionscript 3 related tips/tricks/code samples/tutorials.

Pub Nub Flash AS3 API(SDK)
PubNub as some of you have already heard is a massive multi million dollar information exchange platform using a PUSH (similar to AppStore) system. Feel free to visit the offical site @ [PubNub]. The platform is free to develop but cost a small amount of money for commercial use. It cost roughly $50 USD per month for average use which is quite cheap for a system that you do not have to maintain and super fast across the globe.
They have released API for most languages such as javascript, HTML5, php, ruby and even Lua for Corona. However, they don't have Flash AS3 for whatever reason.
So I have decided to release my own API written for PubNub. For those interested, feel free to download it and test it and make it better.
Pong Beats
After a million trial and error with Corona's timer system, we have finally managed to get beats and music track match up with each other so that they are almost in beat. For the really anal musicians, it is probably not good enough but for the average user, it is more than enough.
Pong Beats can be found at [Official PONG BEATS URL]. The game is a rhythm game much like guitar hero but with a twist. Like what the name suggests, the game is based on top of Pong.

Smartfox Multiplayer - Automatic Player Search Lobby
Quite a lot of times, online games now is able to automatically assign players and create their game rooms without having to manually find a "table" to join. This obviously depends on the type of game/app but it is definitely quite useful at times. For example, in Street Fighter 4 and Starcraft 2, all has a "Search Game" type of functionality.
Corona - Tips and Tricks
Alright, from now on I will also be posting tips and tricks for Anscamobile's Corona SDK. There are quite a lot of little things that takes quite some time to really be able to utilize efficiently and being smart.
The up coming game, "Siren of Ying Yang", is one of the heavily reliant on effects and sprites. I did tons of optimization on memory management as well as performance tweaking. Ported successfully from Flash AS3. Since Adobe CS5 had that unlucky battle with Apple delaying their efforts on the whole iPhone Packager, maybe it could have saved me lots of time.
To see more information about it when it get released， go to the studio's official site below.

RocketCup - Join the new World Cup Championship on the iPhone
Had the privilege of testing the new game for my friend's game studio. Unfortunately, it will take Apple two weeks to get it approved. I will post more information about it soon since it is also made using Anscamobile's Corona SDK.
"This is definitely NOT the usual penalty game! It's hard but satisfying!"
'RocketCup' is the keyword if you want to search for it.
Multiplayer Checkers Game
Made a multiplayer checkers game a while back. It is done fairly quickly but should help most people to save some time on the common SmartFoxServer problems. Click the 'Read on' below to read in detail for those who is interested.

SmartFoxServer Update 1.6.9
I am planning to create a nice multi-player board game involving the famous SmartFoxServer for the iPhone/Android as well as Flash. Big project! Maybe something like a multi-player Mahjong world. Looking at the new update, there seem to be quite a few nice updates. It is about time that they fixed the room COUNT issue that has been happening over the past.
Open Space looks like its becoming pretty powerful, only if it is FREE though, but its not! I might release my own ISO multi-player framework as open source some times later when I have some time.
Pandabella - My First Learning Game
Made my first iphone game with Corona. Its working great. For those interested, you can look at the details here mostwanted-studio and maybe buy it to support me. Its only $0.99. Some may say this is a rip off another game. Well, it is the easiest game to use as a learning curve. I just don't have the time for things like this.
'Pandabella' is the keyword if you want to search for it.
Actionscript 3 Development for the Android using AIR Packaging
With the whole Apple legal issue, I have shifted the focus for now to AIR instead. I have successfully ported the Mahjong game ([http://www.itsmahjong.com]) to the packager for AIR. Thanks to the larger pixel resolution on my HTC Nexus phone, there weren't many modifications I had to make to get it to working and playable. The major issue that I had to consider for are the many different resolution sizes out there. This is something that I hope can be streamlined or not.
Check out later for a demo video. I will upload an emulation video onto youtube the second its all working. My HTC phone is having some issue starting atm after "sc*wing* around with its os version too much.
The app runs fine atm except that it probably need a hell lot of optimization.
Actionscript 3 Development for the iPhone
I have never managed to dig into the XCODE development simply because I am too tight to buy a Mac. Well, now CS5 is coming out soon, it will definitely change the lives of many AS3 developers out there like myself. I am in the process of preparing a "Mahjong" remake for the iPhone and will be releasing tricks, sample components, help tools etc when it is legally possible.
Hack Simulation
Spent some time making a console/unix system type of simulation. It was good fun simulating a text based command prompt, input client and operating system. Try it out below.
Net Music Player
Play MP3 in your browser when you don't have winamp, itunes, windows media player or any other media players. It is kind of useless because most people would have some kind of players or an IPOD/PHONE with them.
Wordjong - A Twist in Mahjong
The best game I have made. Wordjong, a twist of Mahjong. Instead of CHI 123, you now have to CHI a food name in english letters. Have fun!
Flash Encryption - ChainSWF
Developed, tested a complete methodology to protect swf files. This is a complete flash encryption service released for the public under the MIT License. The tool should help all users to freely, happily develop tools, games, properties without worrying getting their work stolen, copied and ripped off. The tool's blue print is all provided here and a live encryption service platform will be launched soon along with it. Learn More Here!
My Second Game
It is quite embarassing that after so many years of digging in the flash world, I have only achieved my second game. I wanted to share some codes in the Games section but I am just so flat out these days.
It is a symbol shuffle remake similar to those Find Treasure in Alexandra type of downloadable games.
