I just added a new version of YaYa (Yet Another Youtube App) to the downloads section called “YaYa Video Poster”. This latest version is targeted to users with Facebook accounts and if you do not use Facebook the original version should be the one you use instead. Both versions are in my downloads section.

Built with Flex 4 (Flashbuilder) and exported as an Adobe Air desktop app, YaYa Video Poster will let you upload any video in  your local library to your Facebook wall and it also lets you add a description for the wall post. The post title is the name of the video itself. When the application opens the first time it will let you login to your Facebook account and ask you to grant it the permissions it needs and once it has those permissions (namely to upload videos to your Face book account) it runs normally every instance after. If for some reason you do not grant it permission the Facebook specific abilities are hidden and it will run like the normal YaYa. Have fun and drop me a line if you have any problems. YaYa will have another version coming out once Adobe Air 2 is released so stay tuned!

The 7.4.2 release of Koolmoves cleans up nearly every problem utilizing the new TweenMax 11 package from Greensock. For a list of all the changes to this build click here.

Koolmoves is having some trouble compiling if you are using the newest TweenMax package from Greensock (v11). Fall back to version 10 until further notice (it’s still found here and there). The Koolmoves developers are aware of the situation and working on it.

Nirmal T V from Life Rocks 2.0 was kind enough to write about YaYa at his website recently and it’s apparent he actually tried the app from his screenshots as opposed to simply cutting and pasting some text for the sake of it. Coming from a guy as talented as he is, it put a smile on my face to read it and for that I thank him sincerely

A few years back I added Yahoo Maps to my Koolmoves and Flex based forums (myBBS and FlexBBS) and users could pick their location on earth at registration and it was also used for the “who is online” panel to show who was online at any given time. It was a Yahoo Staff Pick back then and hugely popular with my users but I removed it from later forums builds and versions because the Yahoo Map API was AS2 based and I was migrating to AS3 and figured I would revisit the ability once the API’s went AS3. I always wanted to use a Google map instead of Yahoo but at the time the Google Map API was not as useful to me (in the context of what I was doing) as Yahoo’s was. This is no longer the case and the Google Map AS3 API is pretty slick and has my gears already spinning to add the maps back to my KM-CODEX Desktop app. Long story short, expect to see this added to the next build of “Power Windows”.
