Recently I’ve been thinking on ways of programmatically creating curvey and strange, organic-looking shapes in 3D. And reflecting on the fact that I can think of no specific ‘practical’ application for such an endeavor. And concluding that that’s part of what makes it interesting… Here’s the high-level recipe: Start with a cylinder or sphere-shaped mesh, where the [...]
I run 32-bit Linux but there is a very vocal group of people who really want 64-bit Linux support for Flash Player. Today there is a decent work around for running the 32-bit Flash Player on a 64-bit Linux system using the nspluginwrapper. From what I’ve heard it works fairly well on most [...]

Finally, happened something we’ve been waiting for — Flash Player 10 preliminary version called “Astro” came out. New version lets to use in Alternativa3D faster and more quality drawing system and to optimize some counting routines. We decided to do two develompents in parralel way — for Flash Player 9 and Flash Player 10. We’re planning to keep equal functions and API to make projects compilation easy for both players. So, after first 5.0 release we’ll release 5.0 FP10 too. Here are earlier published demos with new drawing system without adaptive triangulation. You have to have Flash Player 10 installed.

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time pitching h.264 lately and have ended up developing a stump speech (more of an elevator pitch really). If you’re in the same boat and are looking to develop or refine an h.264 pitch of your own I’ve made a generic version of mine available below (runs 1:45). [...]
Last April, I wrote a post listing some reasons why I felt Silverlight would not succeed. That post garnered a lot of visits, comments and a few trackbacks. It’s still a highly trafficked post of mine. Furthermore, that post is the number one Google result for “silverlight IDE” and ranks pretty highly for a number [...]
Yesterday a colleague from downstairs (where .NET folks huddle in the dungeon-like darkness and pretend to enjoy using Visual Studio … unlike on my floor where designers and Flash devs flit about in a world of sunshine and butterflies) asked me to make a very simple little SWF … just a marquee basically, similar to [...]
Google has launched the Google Maps API, which can now, be used inside Flash components. Previously Google Maps was only available through a JavaScript API. Judging from the demo included with the announcement, this API opens up the door to exciting new possibilities. There is a cool article that introduce you to this new api, and [...]

Building demos for a beta player and against an ever changing API is definitely a challenge, and occasionally frustrating, but we had a great time on this project. The player team was very supportive, and a lot of fun to work with. I'm very excited about the features of the new player..
Adobe released today the beta of the Flash Player 10 on its labs website. Among a couple of really great features is also one that made my day. Dynamic Sound Generation — Dynamic sound generation extends the Sound class to play back dynamically created audio content through the use of an event listener on the [...]
Adobe Flash Player 10 is now out on the Adobe Labs. Get the Flash Player 10 prerelease now. Important: All users should uninstall any currently installed Flash Player before installing the beta.

Andre Michelle and others have been telling Adobe to Make Some Noise, and Adobe has listened! A preview release of Flash Player 10 "Astro" was released today, and in it is the capability to dynamically create sounds. See this demo (of course you'll need the new player installed): http://www.bit-101.com/astro/sound01.html Here I'm creating two wave forms, one controlled by [...]
No. Definetly. Or better, not now. But Nokia wants to act more like an internet company than a "traditional manufacturer" (via WebGuild). Nokia introduced Ovi, the company's new Internet services brand name. With the introduction of Ovi, Nokia is expanding from a focus on mobile devices to offering a range of Internet services. Ovi, meaning 'door' in Finnish, enables consumers to easily access their existing social network, communities and content, as well as acting as a gateway to Nokia services.
