[Flashr] Help with correct language.

[Kelvin Luck]

Hi Ty,

Sorry for the slow response...

I'm not I understand exactly what you are trying to do... You want to have  
a serverside script which grabs some images from Flickr and manipulates  
them and then sends them to flash? If so then it seems like your  
interactions with the Flickr API will happen in whichever serverside  
language you are programming in.

What kind of manipulations are you intending to do to the images? You can  
do quite a lot of stuff in Flash itself these days. But if you must do it  
serverside then Image Magick or the GD libraries built into PHP should  
help you (depending on your serverside programming language). And on the  
flash side you will be communicating directly with your own serverside  
scripts so you won't need to use Flashr at all. There are Flickr API  
wrappers available in a number of serverside languages - you can find them  
listed on Flickrs site.

Unless I misunderstand exactly what it is you are trying to do?

Cheers,

Kelvin :)
