or JK for short…

Very simple way to add QR codes to your AS3 projects.

To add QR codes to your project you can use this great library from Jean-Baptiste on GitHub.

In the code below you can switch in the various string variables to have the QR code either, display text, like to a website, send a text message or send an email.

package com.kafkaris.qrcodedemo
{
	import org.qrcode.QRCode;

	import flash.display.Bitmap;
	import flash.display.Sprite;

	public class QRCodeDSemo extends Sprite
	{
		private var _text:String = "Words from QR";
		private var _website:String = "http://kafkaris.com";
		private var _textMessage:String = "SMSTO:0410444555:Hello";
		private var _email:String = "SMTP:jonathan.kafkaris@gmail.com:Hello:Message to Jono";

		private var _qrImg:Bitmap;

		public function QRCodeDSemo()
		{
			var qrObj:QRCode = new QRCode();
    		qrObj.encode(_website);

			_qrImg = new Bitmap(qrObj.bitmapData);
			_qrImg.width = _qrImg.height = 300;

			addChild(_qrImg);
		}
	}
}

Thanks again to Jean-Baptiste.
