My first Apollo App – Flickr Sets viewer

I was playing with the Apollo bits for last few days, trying out the different APIs. Finally decided to do something with Flickr…because it’s so damn easy 🙂 The app I built is a simple viewer for your flickr sets.

The app uses the standard Cairngorm approach to structuring the code. The DisplayShelf component for the sets is from Quitely Scheming. When you select a set, it lazy downloads all the pictures for that set. I haven’t written the code to download to a directory, but that can be added easily. As expected its all data-bound with the ModelLocator. I have a FlickrDelegate class that does the job of talking to Flickr using the as3flickrlib.
