Nice new AS3 code Library CasaLib, AS3 version.

12/09/2008 03:47 am by Visualrinse | Design and Development by Chad Udell in Flash

I blogged a few months ago about some great Actionscript open source or free code libraries that you should check out. In that list, I mentioned the great, somewhat outdated, but still useful Casa Framework for Actionscript 2. Well, let me repeat that endorsement, but with a big big reinforcement! The Framework has been renamed [...]

Flash IDE Bugbase?

12/03/2008 02:43 pm by Tink in Flash CS4

Finally I’ve switched over to my other machine with CS4 on. Does anyone know where you are meant to log bugs for the Flash IDE, or aren’t Adobe interested?

Away3D Normalmaps Generation

12/01/2008 11:22 pm in Flash

How frustrating is it to have a Dot3Material in Away3D and not be able to use it because you need to have a special map generated by some expensive or not easy to use tools? Especially knowing how smooth and natural surfaces can look like... Wouldn't it be a bit easyer to ask Away to make [...]

12/01/2008 12:11 am by Marco Casario | RIAvolutionize the web in Flash Catalyst

Adobe Stratus FAQ now on Labs, Info on RTMFP & Sample Application

11/26/2008 11:06 am by Flashcomguru.com in Flash Player

A page and FAQ on Adobe Stratus is now up on Labs.

As you may have heard, Stratus is the name of an upcoming service that will allow Flash Player 10 and AIR 1.5 clients to connect directly to one another in a peer to peer mode and exchange data once a connection is established. The protocol used is the new RTMFP (real time flow protocol) protocol and it runs over UDP, not TCP. The use of UDP has a positive effect on latency and will therefore make Flash Player's peer to peer features ideal for one to one communications and reduce bandwidth costs since the server is sidestepped. You can try the new features using this sample application (Player 10 required).

While the Stratus cloud service is necessary to connect clients in this way, there will also be an upcoming version of Flash Media Server that is capable of facilitating this connection. More information on this is available in this PDF file.

RTMFP is one of the most exiting developments for Flash Player in recent times and it will add major new capabilities to the platform. There are plans to develop RTMFP further, and I recommend you attend the Sneak Peak sessions at Adobe MAX Milan next week where Adobe may showcase application level multi-cast over RTMFP. As outlined by Matthew Kaufman at MAX North America, the RTMFP protocol could evolve further and support one to many broadcasts, Group setups as well as Direct Routing.
Flash Player 10 will not enable swarming, multi-cast or broadcast quality live video at this time.

These are definitely exciting times to be a Flash Platform developer.
