Nabaztag API for Actionscript 3

Posted At : January 7, 2008 7:31 AM | Posted By : Shannon Hicks
Related Categories: General Development, Flex & Flash, ColdFusion

This Christmas, Webapper was kind enough to shower us each with a Nabaztag/tag wifi rabbit. If you haven't seen these things yet, they're pretty neat... It's got an API (along with prebuilt services) that you can call to make it do various things, like move it's ears, light up, and speak.

Now, the API looks quite simple, it's just URL calls, but building out any request with a choreography just takes a long time. I instantly wanted to create an "Explorer" type application in Flex to make building an API call easier. After a couple hours of playing around, I decided to go all-out, and do an open-sourced API wrapper to power the explorer application.

I did release a couple beta versions over Christmas vacation, but today I'm happy to announce the 1.0 release. Just hop on over to RIAForge to download the source/swc, or view the live demo.
