Caught up in 25-line fever, I started hacking away at a Strange attractor generator and got it down to 6 lines.
PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
var bmp:Bitmap = addChild(new Bitmap(new BitmapData(800, 800, false, 0xffffff))) as Bitmap;
for(var i:int = 0; i <12; i++) this["a" + (i + 1)] = (("VBWNBDELYHUL").charCodeAt(i) - 77) / 10;
var p:Point = new Point(.1, [...]
I found one possible reason for Snackr crashing on the Mac: it seems that if CoolIris for Safari is installed, it interferes with Snackr/AIR (specifically, the input manager it installs seems to cause the problem). Try uninstalling the plugin (in Safari, do View > Remove CoolIris) and see if that fixes the problem with Snackr.

DOT MATRIX REVOLUTION* from superbrothers on Vimeo.
Nice to see the release of CasaLib - the CASA flash framework renamed and updated to AS 3.0. The rename is to focus more on the fact that it's more of a code library rather than a full-on framework....I wish I saw more of that. I'd much rather ...
It’s been over three weeks since we introduced Tour de Flex at MAX and so far, the response has been fantastic! It’s great to see folks exploring the opportunities that Flex provides.
I wanted to take a few minutes and point out some of the specific Adobe AIR features that are demonstrated in Tour de Flex.

More than 18,000 votes have been cast, the panel has made its deliberations and we can finally reveal that Papervision3D has received the INNOVATION OF THE YEAR in this year’s .net Awards.
For more information about the awards and a short interview I did with Jason Walsh, check out this month’s issue of .net [...]
Two of my favourite conferences are running events across the pond this year, and I'm totally stoked about it. FitC Amsterdam and FotB Miami.
Pretty sweet that we beat out the likes of Microsoft and Google for Innovation of the Year by .net magazine!

Is it me, or this one looks like a serious flash killer? (And I actually hate when people use that [product]killer word combination).
Seriously... Specially now that Actionscript 3 has become quite dev-only thing. If google can make this one work, I can only see trouble for Adobe.
EDIT: I'm pasting here a email I've sent to the internal Hi-ReS! list which extends a bit this post:
Basically, this is a double kick.
First to Microsoft for trying to compete with Flash player by copying the worst side of it (scripting language).
Second to flash, because the whole community is always complaining how bad optimised the player is and how slow it is still compared to OS based applications. You know, compare flash earth with... redbull earth.
This is just opening a door to all the C/C++ Graphic programmers out there to the web. Letting them use what they know (C/C++) to create application/experiences/experiments viewable from any browser. (As long as they have the plugin and/or use Google Chrome).
Processing uses Java, and people that weren't happy (with flash performance) moved to Processing/Java in order to have richer visuals on the web. Java hasn't really been doing well online, the applet is annoying most of the time and takes a lot of time to load (and shows a ugly loader). This even beats that.
It is, of course, not going to be a night/day change, but I think this has way too much potential if they handle it well. I still don't know if it's sofware-rendering only.
And hey! They have Quake already, and flash (publicly) doesn't!
I am very happy to announce that Papervision3D has won the INNOVATION OF THE YEAR in this year’s .net Awards.
Shortlisted alongside with such amazing pieces of technology as the BBC iPlayer and the beautiful In Rainbows by Radiohead, the list of nominees included Google Android and App Engine, Microsoft Telescope, Open Social and Silverlight 2.

Prepare yourself for a PV3D version of Guitar Hero or Rock Band.
Muskedunder Interactive, a Flash game studio in Sweden, is behind this very fun, very well done game for TriggerMomentum and Pepsi Sweden.
Excellent work featuring animated 3D characters to select difficulty level (LÄTT = easy, MEDEL = medium, SVÅR = hard).

I recently recorded a few video tutorials which I will be posting here on my blog. These videos can also be found on Adobe TV
Seems like the word is spreading pretty well by itself, but I should mention it here anyway…
The judges have picked their favorites and we came up with not 10, but 12 finalists. The stuff that was created is pretty amazing, and when you realize that each entry consists of just 25 lines of ActionScript 3.0, [...]
I’ve heard that there are a lot of online alternatives to Photoshop, like Picnik, Adobe Photoshop Express and Splashup. I have tried SUMO Paint now. The “Online Image Editor” is a very elaborate webapp using Flex.
I’ve experienced enough slow and neverending wait times and was pleasantly surprised by how fast SUMO Paint loads. And once [...]
