Andy posted a cool example on recreating the fog effect with papervision 3d.
View Demo, and check his post with explanation.
3D effects that took a lot of coding before will become very easy in Player 10 because of its native 3D support. In this tutorial, we show a few basic 3D methods that are new in Player 10. We show how to easily rotate bitmaps in 3D and how to flip a playing card in [...]
In a recent project we required some additional functionality to the default components that come with Flash CS3. Here’s examples for some of them which we have added to our Google Code Library.

In a previous article in this series I told you about a reported exploit for Adobe Flash Player. It seems that the security bulletin that this exploit was based upon was released before the version 9.0.124.0 of the Player. Reading the latest security bulletin Adobe informs us that the exploit is not applicable to this [...]
Hanging out in Japan with a messed up body clock, which means I wake up at odd hours of the morning and have nothing much to do. For more on my Japan trip, see my personal blog.
But the last couple of mornings I’ve been playing with the sound API in Flash Player 10. Managed to [...]
A new computer is great, but the day I upgraded to a MacBook Pro, a little issue became obvious... I was using a G5 and a G4 to make my demos (and still do), not because I love pain, but because if you dev only on new machines, you can be sure your client will [...]
In this tutorial, Hubflanger will show you how to build a Flash site using PureMVC. If you’re familiar with the Flash IDE and have some experience with OOP and writing classes, you’re pretty much ready to go.

I'm bad at drawing curved lines in Flash. I decided to bite the bullet and figure out an easy way to work with curves. The result is a couple of "spikes" or isolated test cases that demonstrate the logic behind converting a series of straight lines into a nice looking curve. I also extended this logic to work with fills, which is handy for drawing for drawing things like grass, seaweed, and tentacle monsters.
Embedding complex SWF content in WordPress which loads or references other content can be bit tricky. Often the embedded SWF is hosted in different directory than the WordPress page that contains the embed code which means simple relative paths often fail. The reason for this is that SWF files, by default, assume the page in [...]

Download Day 2008 is a planned attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloads in a single day. As per the FAQ, they'll need over 1.6 million downloads, but want to shoot for 5 million. Which is nice, but sorry Firefox, that'll be no record. Flash Player blows that number away daily, not the 1.6 number, I mean the 5 million number. There have been over a billion downloads of Flash Player this year alone (less than 5 months), which averages out to over 6 million a day. And we've actually publicly stated that we've had days where downloads exceeded 10 million in a day. Don't get me wrong, I love Firefox, use it almost exclusively, and will definitely be downloading Firefox 3. But a Guinness World Record? Sorry, that's quite unlikely.
I’m really looking forward to FlashBelt this year, meeting up with Dave Schroeder, and all my good flasher friends, especially Jeremy Thorp, who hasn’t made it to any other conferences since last year’s FlashBelt. It’s always a great one, hitting above it’s weight in terms of the calibre of speakers Dave attracts.
And I’m giving [...]

I wanted to build something using my AS3 grass simulation experiments that was more cinematic than most of the pieces I've built to date, and had some form of open ended narrative. The result was cutByTheWind, which you can see below...
In this tutorial, we’re going to build a Flash mp3 player with a spectrum analyzer written in AS3.
We’ll focus on the spectrum analyzer and build just the basic functionality for the player itself.
