Asynchronous Recursive Directory search in AIR (aka FileFinder)

Well, after losing my Job on Tuesday, it’s been a mad scramble to develop a new website and get it up and running, so I can hopefully impress some potential employers..(not that my old site wasn’t cool…it was…like 8 years ago!).
The new site is up and I absolutely love it, yes it’s a bit slow on anything less than a Quad Core, and yes the nav is unusual, but I’m trying to do something a bit more forward thinking here, as well as flex my technical skills. I’m totally bored of the conventional website and navigation structure.
Also I do think that as 3D adoption grows, allowing users to config the site to match their system capabilities will become a more accepted approach, which is why I included some performance settings on the site itself. This is another thing that may rub some traditionalists the wrong way…
Obviously, the other new addition is this blog right here, stay tuned for many code examples and experiments in the future.
Thanks!
