This weekend was quite productive. First I nailed down the emailing from Flex functionality an Saturday. Then on Sunday I got the deepLinking enabled.
I’ve worked with deepLinking before on XanaduWest.com years ago so the concept is familiar to me. Flex adds the HistoryManager class which is amazingly helpful. In this case I had to customize the way it worked because I’m working with a custom component that doesn’t do any history management by default.
In the future this is something that I’ll implement early on in the project. Because I had gotten so far along with it it turned into a bit of a hack to wedge deepLinking/HistoryManagement in after the fact. But it works, and that’s what matters most.

The World's Most Indispensable Movie App
The RunPee app tells you the best times to
run & pee during a movie
so you don't miss the best scenes.
Download the RunPee app.
100% free (donation supported)
So now I can email a link to someone which will take them directly to a specific RunPee view and the browser back-button and forward-button works.
I believe this is the last of the plumbing level functionality that I need to add to RunPee. Most of what’s left is UX, expanding existing features, that sort of thing. At this rate I’ll be in public beta in a few weeks. Well in time for 360Flex.

about the RunPee app.

RunPee is one of my favourite apps. No more googling a film before you see it and risking spoilers, this app has everything you need to know, not just the best time to go to the toilet. Dan, the developer, also offers an amazing customer service experience. I recently switched phones, and Dan was very generous in sorting things out with me as I moved over to my current system. If you're an avid film watcher, this is the app for you!

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
