I'm sure based on the activity you've seen in the Flex 3 branch you'd think not much is going on, however you'd actually be wrong. Alex has been leading an effort on a feature we call the Marshall Plan. This...

AIR Distribution Kit

Tomorrow at FlashBelt I’ll be giving a presentation on Installation and Distribution Strategies in AIR.

My presentation will cover a couple of [...]

Saving a Float or GeoPt in Google App Engine? You need this patch.

06/10/2008 12:48 am by Aral Balkan in Development

This one had me scratching my head and wondering what I'd managed to corrupt in my setup today: After you save a float (or, in my case, a GeoPt instance) to the datastore, the next time you start the server (e.g., ./manage.py runserver or dev_appserver.py .), you'll get a traceback that culminates in: File "/usr/local/google_appengine/google/net/proto/ProtocolBuffer.py", line 455, [...]

My recent buyer beware experience

I’m still a video game geek at heart. Wasting time last week, I came across a website, www.snarfdog.com, which appeared to sell some really nice shirts, or so I thought. I found a slick looking Atari shirt and ordered it right away. Check out the difference between what I saw and ordered on the site [...]

Make Flash Sites More Searchable - 2

06/09/2008 11:00 pm by Flex RIA United in Thinking Loud

Sites Vs Movies We see full-flash sites or flash animations embedded inside other flash animations all the time. They provide a rich visual experience. However, they may be poor in terms of index-ability and bookmark-ability. There is a trade-off between experience and functionality. Or is there? E.g. Various levels in games or surveys or tests, linking other [...]

Use Away 3D man ...

06/09/2008 07:58 pm by sephiroth.it - flash & php in 3d

... or at least give it a try!

Working on Aviary I had the plesure to meet Alexander and Fabrice, the creator and one of the actual maintainers of Away 3D engine.

As you might known, we are using Away 3D for Hummingbird, and I had the plesure (yes, another :P) to give a look at the code an work in touch with the developers. I have to admit that Away 3D is really good!

I'm far to be the best person to suggest one framework over the others, but what I can do is tell you why I think Away 3D is (at least) worth a try, even if you are already working with Papervision 3D or the other engines. The first thing to know is that both the projects comes from the same branch - they have been splitted a few years ago (maybe just an year but I'm not sure) and then they followed two different paths. During my quick and basic experience with Away 3D I see that it has a real clean and powerful API (you have animation for instance or really good materials), good documentation and tutorials (see Fabrice's blog for a bunch of them!), more precise a quick rendering. And part of the new Papervision 3D 2.0 code is inspired by that library.

The various libraries outta there are for different purposes, and probably are taking (or will take) different directions (ie: see Alternativa 3D for instance, which seems well suited for games). But trying many of them instead focusing only on the most famous one is a really good thing - many users comes from PV3D for instance and are really happy about Away!

Don't take my assumptions as gold: this is what I think after just a bit of playing ;)

Clearing A BitmapData’s Contents

06/09/2008 05:00 pm by EVOLVE in Tips & Tricks

I've been using BitmapData lately more and more (I know, I'm very late to the party) and something that I was curious in was how to clear it before I can draw to it again so that the previous frame's contents are not in it. Particularly, I was wondering how I can very simply [...]

I thought I’d put up a fun demo SWF from my “Flash Bang” talk of a couple of weeks ago. This is an example of what can be done with the new FlashPlayer 10 (”Astro”) Sound API; it synthesizes sounds on the fly that are synchronized with colliding objects in a simple physical [...]
