With FDT Labs we already carried out in the past a couple of projects that weren’t part of our origin roadmap. We implemented the HaXe support as well as a Dependency Visualizer and the Linux support. All 3 made it into the official FDT version.
Today we want to present you our new FDT Labs project. The project was created by one of our developers, Tobias Heidingsfeld, and is called AS3SX.
Tobias was often facing the problem of writing server side backends for AS3 and MXML applications for the Web, Desktop and Mobile. With AS3SX he created a piece of software that allows developers to write server side code in AS3 and giving them a framework that makes it fun and easy. Last but not least AS3SX also takes care of the the hosting.
Check out the project website under as3sx.fdt.powerflasher.com for more information and to download and test the project.
If you have any questions or feedback please leave us a comment or ask us via the feedback-form on the project website.
Please notice that this is a FDT Labs project which is comparable to an Alpha version. FDT Labs is our playground. We can’t guarantee that this project will ever leave the Labs section.
Thank you all for the interest in my project. I stopped it because i am missing the time to maintenance the server and continue the development. I will not open source it either.
@Thomas
This was done as a hobby by a Powerflasher developer. I’ll ask about open sourcing it.
Hi,
Why have you guys abandoned this project? I have been waiting for years for server side Actionscript 3. Any chance you’ll open source this. I’ll be it would be huge!

Very interesting project, but link to as3sx.fdt.powerflasher.com does not work.
@Mike
That is great! Thanks.
I started pure AS3 Simple Samples Apps tutorial series. Articles are in french but you can download sample FDT projects. Here the direct links:

Are there any sample applications available? I checked out the ASDocs and signed up for an account. Its not entirely clear though how to set up an application, and what AS3 classes are available on the server side. Can we use any AS3 class?
The idea of this is interesting. The register for an account link on the labs page gives a 404. Also do you have any examples? It mentions no sql, that might be a good example. Thanks!
