Absolutely! I wonder if David still wants to do that road trip? We'll have to work out something interesting to document that if it hapens.

It isn't documented anywhere, but there is a REST api that I'm assuming you could use to list tracks etc. Crack open Firebug to see what is being called where on the site. Course I don't really know what their terms of use are and you'll definitely need to check with Beatport about that.

hahha, I was thinking there must be something like this! But I think snurl is short enough that its simple name is a better guarantor of widespread adoption of the service than the length of the name (diminishing returns on that front...).

How about http://is.gd because snurl is too long? :)

They do have a pretty robust API for their services - it just isn't public. My thought is that they and the artists they serve up are a little worried about security, rights etc. Of course I don't actually work at Beatport so I don't know their true motives - also they are a relatively small company so I'm sure resource allocation for projects can be interesting. Just my 2 cents though.

Yeah really. The post might be helpful to someone - unlike your comment. -_-

Re: Cursor postion in a flex TextArea control using the TextLineMetrics class

Javier -

I took a quick peek at what we did for the pop up menu and we are just using a list control. We change its visibility and add/removing event listeners where appropriate.

We did have to do some data tracking to manage when the list showed so the user could dismiss the list box and keep typing - that was the only hic-up we really encountered though.

Honestly its been so long since I've look at that code I'll have to go play with it, but I'll check it out again and get back to you about what I find out. - John
