WordPress to XML to AS3

Using PHP, MySQL, XML and AS3, your daily healthy dose of programming acronyms, I’ve writen an AS3-based API for WordPress. If I continue to grow it, Actionscripters will be able to use this API to build their own wordpress blog without the need for data querying skills. I’m still figuring out what the title will be, but this open source project is sure to be a great way to give back to the WordPress and Actionscript communities.
The platform is incredibly easy to use for AS3 programmers. I am considering making it available as a component for MXML users.
I have an early working example based on my own website, available here.
Hi
I’m currently working on a fully flash xml site and needs to use wordpress as CMS along with swfobject. I’m stuck at linking my xml files to wordpress. Any idea how to do that ?
Any help will be appreciated

Funnily enough, I’ve just finished developing an open source AS3 library that can be used for connecting WordPress XML-RPC with flash – Did you get yours finished?
You can get documentation and source from here:

I did get preliminary versions working with my own XML and AS3 based classes – but I didn’t end up using the classes or releasing them due to the code feeling a little unpolished – priorities shifted later towards other projects. I may revisit this down the track but at the moment its not at the top of my list of things to do.
