yep, snuck time to make it into the am hours for a while...
a lot of credit should go to kelvin luck for making the data wrapper classes though... made working with the Flickr API data a lot easier.
so if anyone's interested in making a flickr app with flash, here's the place to start: http://kelvinluck.com

i thought it was very good. things i would like to see;
a return button next to the text input.
a scottish flasg in the flag map. heh
a back button to look at the previous set of tag results set.
issues;
i dont know if its meant to be this way but the additional tags along the top are hidden behind 'about flapper etc block'
liquid layout may cause problem for >1000px browsers?
apart from that - its excellent.

Giving this a bump now that v. 1.1.0 is now up.
Many elements have been fixed, and a few new features to boot. 1024 mode is now much friendlier also.
Poomoo mentioned the Scottish flag was missing before, several others were too, so I went all out and grabbed the FamFamFam flagset and implemented that with Flappr. Even if you're from the only internet cafe in Burkina Faso, you've now got a flag :)

Flappr flies to 1.2
A few of the new features:
* User Profile Panel: Clicking on a buddy icon now opens up the new User Profile section, which gives you quick access to more information on the photographer, their favorites, and now a legitimate and easier-to-use display of their photosets.
* Quickly view a grid of previous photos: this was a feature/bug that had for a long time been accessible by hovering to the right side of the screen. It’s now properly encapsulated into a button down by the userstrips.
* Search history: Go back to any search you made, viewing a list of the most recent. It will even remember searches from your previous visits. Try it out by clicking either the down arrow in the thumbnail container or by using the new button nearby the userstrips.
* Running newest builds of Flashr and Fuse = snappier tweens and faster, cacheable data requests.
* Adding to favorites now displays confirmation
* A new spinning square when the photo enlargement is loading in! (ok, so why save the best for last, anyway?)Bug fixes:
* FlapprLinks have received a long-overdue renovation
* Pagination issues are resolved (this was previously a headache for favorites/photosets)
* Repositioning after a browser resize now more reliable
* Keyboard shortcuts no longer interfere with comment form
* Hover boxes no longer appear over photos without titles
* Text overflows, while not entirely gone, are greatly minimized
