PowerSDK PRIM is FREE and OPEN

PowerSDK PRIM is now FREE and sports a new BSD License. PRIM contains 52 new getter/setter primitives in 100% pure ActionScript. The new primitives behave in a unique manner as the values are managed through get and set operation. PRIM is a general framework for creating primitive types within the player and is extensible. Even better is the included event model, allowing you to receive events when a primitive value is modified without watching or polling the value for changes.

Documentation and Download

PRIM was a blast to build and was especially enjoyable in regards to working with the Beta group earlier this summer (May-June). Although PRIM was clearly not a commercial success, I am hopeful that in making PRIM free it will get used in important Flash projects. Hopefully it will help you at some point in your development work when the base player primitives seem inadequate.

Special Thanks to the following for assisting with PRIM's development on the beta group and beyond:

carbon - Abdul Qabiz
hydrogen - Casar Tardáguila
oxygen - Darron Schall
helium - Eli Willaert
iron - Francis Bourre
lithium - Javier Tardáguila
uranium - Jesse Warden
gallium - Jonas Galvez
nitrogen - Julio Rodriguez
floride - Lance Linder
boron - Matthew Warneford
silver - TaeShik Kim
argon - Peter Hall
zinc - Sascha Müller-Neuhaus
nickel - Elan
bronze - Jos Yule

*beta passwords were based on the Periodic Table with little correlation to the contributor. (No Jesse AKA:JesterXL is not radioactive)

Special thank for supporting PRIM and challenging me to write better software, it was a great learning experience for me and hopefully for everyone. Thanks, Ted ;)

PRIM Lesson: "Software that doesn't get used is not very good software!"

Cheers,

ted ;)
