A great article at The Tech Labs, by Ben Pritchard from PixelFumes, that will step you through the classes used to achieve a card flipping effect using the new rotationY property that exists in Flash Player 10.
Read full article, see the demos and download support files.
Getty Images is the largest stock imagery company. It provides the publishing world with a big rich stock of photos, music, video footages and other creative services. This week they released a Flash based mashup application called Moodstream to expose their photos and videos in a very creative way.
It has a good reason to [...]
Just found this blog post today from Colin Moock on the new XML based file format (XFL) that will be available with Flash CS4. This is great news and since its XML based and not binary like FLA, I thinking this could make life easier for companies with big projects and lots of developers to [...]
It surprises me that one of the most commented upon and downloaded classes from my blog is a card flipping effect. With that in mind, I thought it might be an interesting exercise to recreate this effect targeting Flash Player 10. As of the writing of this article, Flash Player 10 Beta (Astro) and the corresponding API documentation have been released. This article will step you through the classes used to achieve a card flipping effect using the new rotationY property that exists in Flash Player 10.

We recently welcomed four new members to the Adobe Platform Evangelism team, all based out of our Romania office, and all concentrating on evangelism in Europe (and Eastern Europe specifically). The new team members, with links to their blogs, are:
I’m sat here in a state of half-sleep at FlashBelt - it’s about 10am on the second day and i just can’t get to sleep - l’m relating to that line in Withnail & I - ‘i fear we are drifting into the arena of the unwell’. Still it’s been great so far. My session [...]
I have officially accepted an invitation from O’Reilly to join the team of authors working on the new AIR cookbook. My fellow authors include David Tucker, Marco Casario, and Koen De Weggheleire.
What does this mean to you?
Well as with the Flex Cookbook, the AIR Cookbook will include community contributions so you can have some of [...]
InfoQ has published a detailed case study on the AIR based NASDAQ Market Replay application, including technical details on the AIR development as well as the Amazon S3 backend.
In the following example, I am using a similar light effect script as the one posted a few months ago, although I decided to make it choose random points on stage and move from one point to another. To get my script to go from point...
With a great feeling we’re pleased to inform you that we managed to win at Russian Flash Awards in two categories — “3D” and “Technical achievement”. Anton Volkov and Vladimir Babushkin flew to the capital to take part in a ceremony. They’re back with some diplomas and two strange-shaped prizes.
The present from Adobe is an invitation to represent Russia at Adobe Max 2008, this December in Milan.
Thank you everybody for your support and critics!
You can almost but not quite create an OpenID consumer on Google App Engine today using python-openid.
Unfortunately, redirects to external OpenID providers are failing and Google currently does not think that this is a high priority to fix (this is where you can help, read on.)
Ryan from the Google App Engine theme had this [...]
For those interested, the Liquid Components are still alive !
I have just joined DDB Paris as a Technical Director, it is a great news for me (and DDB I hope). Unfortunately, this new job gives me very little time to work on my personal projects like the "Liquid Components".
I decided to publish the Liquid Components [...]
Bending objects is one of the classic features of any 3D package. I thought it would be nice to be able to bend stuff in Papervision3D too.
First, I had to spend a couple of days trying to understand the concept of bending. It is fairly obvious when you see it, but when it comes to [...]
I surf the web, my feed reader, twitter and a lot of the other information sources. Often I find I want to use a highlighter or otherwise annotate my reading material just as I would of done back in college (mabye a little less liberally with the highlighting). Jing is great for this and I’m [...]

It’s amazing how much the world of software development is changing. What was once a clandestine affair now extends to early public alphas / betas. For those not quite so inclusive, a Flickr stream of UI screenshots lets the masses get involved.
Why screenshots of the UI? Like it or not, everyone considers themselves a UI [...]
