How to Fix the Flash CS3 Components

03/29/2008 01:32 am by Flex and Flash Developer - Jesse Warden dot Kizz-ohm in ActionScript

…and end the drawNow madness. I knew something was SERIOUSLY wrong when I read in the official docs (Part 3) from Adobe that if your code doesn’t work correctly, try using “drawNow”, and failing that, “validateNow”. What do you mean “try”? What… the… hell…

Classic ‘Sound Equalizer’ in Flash/AS3

03/26/2008 10:46 pm by Everyday Flash in Actionscript 3

Got a background music on your Flash website? It would be nice to add a tiny equalizer in the footer. Or maybe you're developing an AS3 application that features MP3 playback? An equalizer will surely be useful in there too...

Papervision Perspective Line material

03/25/2008 06:43 pm by Seb Lee-Delisle in Actionscript

Good news! I’ve integrated my new 3D line drawing algorithm into a Papervision LineMaterial class! Bad news! It probably won’t work for very long… the reason? Well Papervision is going through an exciting transformation that I’m not sure I can talk about right now… but suffice it to say, it’ll be pretty cool. But in [...]

Drawing 3D perspective lines in Flash

03/24/2008 04:49 pm by Seb Lee-Delisle in Actionscript

I love the Line3D in papervision, but wouldn’t it be great if it actually got larger as it came towards you? Currently the lines are just drawn using the Flash drawing API, and the line’s thickness is the same no matter how far away it is. I’ve been working on a new line drawing algorithm. [...]

Bugs to know - N°1 [ by Thibault Imbert ]

03/19/2008 10:17 pm by ByteArray.org in Actionscript 3

While I was writing the book, I met a few bugs I would like to share with you so that you don't get crazy on your code I will start with an annoying bug concerning the Loader class in the Flash player (9,0,115,0). You have to watch out with the concept of reparenting with the Loader [...]

Turn up the heat in Flash with Arduino

03/19/2008 12:04 am by Aral Balkan in ActionScript

I just got back from a lovely FlashBrighton evening full of Arduino hacking and Wiimote fun. Arduino is an open-source board that connects to your computer via USB. Add a breadboard, some LEDs, and other components and you can create all sorts of lovely things with it. You program it using the Arduino scripting environment which [...]

Adobe, Make some noise

03/18/2008 12:54 pm by Antti Kupila in Actionscript 3

I have to support this. Thanks to all the people who have made the impossible happen with all the amazing audio stuff available but now I think it’s time for Adobe to step in. The issue with SOUND_COMPLETE is of course big but frankly Sound.loadBytes( ) is all I want. Adobe, MAKE SOME NOISE

Make some noise

03/18/2008 11:44 am by wezside in Actionscript

Andre Michelle is making some noise. After playing with PopForge, I have nothing but total amazement of what this guy does, there is no reason not to support him in his quest to get Adobe to fix some serious Sound API problems.

Adobe MAKE SOME NOISE

03/18/2008 07:31 am by FlashGuru Consulting in Actionscript

Andre Michelle is leading a campaign called Adobe MAKE SOME NOISE that is calling for Adobe to take some action and fix a pretty big problem with the Actionscript Sound API in the latest Flash Player and also to rally together support to show Adobe that alot of people need/want more control over sound with [...]

Probably the first critical update issued from Adobe about possibly vulnerabilities in the Flash player. The December issues listed can be found here. April sees a new Flash Player update to resolve some cross-site scripting problems in the current v115 Flash Player.

03/11/2008 08:18 pm in ActionScript

A couple of weekends ago, I did a presentation for The Chennai Cold Fusion User Group (CCFUG Homepage). Am posting the ppt here. The presentation covered the basics - intro to RIAs, intro to Adobe Flex, a couple of examples and a little bit about Adobe AIR. Check it out… if you have nothing else [...]

Edit: Scrap this post. Mr Peters just shown me that... PLAIN TEXT Actionscript: SuperClass.prototype.isPrototypeOf( SubClass.prototype ); ...does the same thing. Bonus!

Do DDD Repositories and Flex make sense?

03/05/2008 11:08 am by Christophe Herreman in ActionScript

I have been thinking about some of the concepts and patterns described in the Domain-Driven Design book and how they could be implemented in a Flex or AIR environment. One thing that interests me in particular is the use of a Repository as a container for Domain Objects. In short, a Repository is responsible for fetching, [...]

Prana enabled Cairngorm Store

02/24/2008 10:38 pm by Christophe Herreman in ActionScript

Following up on Douglas McCarroll's modified Cairngorm Store update, I thought I'd take this a step further and add a Prana application context to configure the business delegates and the service locator. This example has support for mock delegates that contain hardcoded local data and is also able to connect to php services using Remote [...]

PopForge. Respect.

02/22/2008 09:47 pm by wezside in Actionscript

I had the opportunity to mess about with some new AS3 libraries a few days ago. After doing this basic experiment I figure that a bold statement is in order. I reckon what BitmapData did for Flash 8, the ByteArray will make up for Flash 9. Ok so myabe not so bold and a little bit late but ByteArray is defintely powerful.
