In case you haven’t heard, Flash rock star John Grden’s final two Papervision3D training sessions will be going down in Canada in the very near future. Held over the course of two full days, these sessions cover fundamentals to advanced techniques for 3D designers, developers and devigners. John’s been behind a number of prominent open source [...]
I have been thinking some more following my earlier post about how good it would be to have a system for creating ActionScript classes from XML Schema, for binding XML data to code. I thought it might be a good idea to set something of this nature up as web service, or a web application, using [...]
I've been reading a few "getting started" articles over the weekend (including one about Django and another on Rails). Tonight I read a 13-page article about the Microsoft Command Shell (MSH) in Vista. It's from back in 2005, so it might be a little outdated, but it still makes for a very interesting read. It's cool [...]
The future of coding PHP in FlashDevelop may be quite closer than expected, thanks to user: kuzya (flashdevelop member from russia) http://www.flashdevelop.org/community/viewtopic.php?p=13082 He modified the HaXeContext plugin and now you can see your php class methods and variables in the outline pane. It was a bit buggy, and then Philippe managed to get to get a basic [...]
Shell scripts are very useful little things. Google App Engine makes deploying apps a single-line affair, but I was still finding myself going through a series of steps when deploying updates to The GAE SWF Project, mostly because I wanted to release the source code as a zip file for download. So, I hacked together [...]
I was mandated by a friend to optimize a flash website he had done for search engines. I had previously given him advices on how to start and he did follow some of them, but it just wasn’t enough so that’s why he asked me to finish the job. Alex (the client) is a garage that [...]
We really have a premiere this time. Thibault Imbert just released his book “Pratique d’ActionScript 3″ for free. The story behind this is pretty sad but I have to say this is an awesome move from Thibault. It is about 1000 pages and took more than a year of work. So if you are French you definitly [...]
I always dreamed of being on the muppet show, and thanks to FITC and the world famous designer Gideon, I may just have found the next best thing! And of course Papervision team-mate Ralph Hauwert was up for the same treatment. But my favourite has to be GMunk and Colin Moock (now renamed the MoockBot) who have [...]
I was in Barnes and Noble tonight and found the book, “Beginning AIR: Building Applications for the Adobe Integrated Runtime” by Rich Tretola. I’ve spent the past 2 hours reading it - it’s a fantastic book for learning how to build AIR applications. You will find the table of contents and excerpts here More [...]
There have been a few questions recently on both the Away3d and Papervision mailing lists about projecting textures, so i figured a demo was in order to help the explanation along, plus give me an excuse to play with caustic generators . This demo also uses Away3d’s tiling material feature to allow a seamless [...]
LiveCycle Signatures ES allows you to Certify PDF documents and interactive Forms, validate Recipient Signatures on a Form and also use the server to apply Signatures to your Forms. In this article I would like to add a few warnings and offer best practices for using LiveCycle Signatures ES in your server applications and work flows. [...]
Wow!
A couple of weeks ago the Away3D team announced the release of version 2.0. The news was accompanied with a stunning demo called Green Planet. I was impressed, so I downloaded the source and started to play with it. From the start I was interested in checking some light and shading possibilities that Away3D offers. I [...]
After 95% of the comments suggested I submit the Radiohead piece to the Aniboom contest, I went ahead. http://www.aniboom.com/Player.aspx?v=210097 I poked about a bit to see some of the other submissions, and there are some really well thought out storyboards up there. Im looking forward to seeing the final selections.
I came back this week from FITC Toronto and I can say this; I am tired as hell (well a bit less now since I slept 14 hours last night). I will start with the bad stuff I have to say and end up with the good stuff. I think I had too big expectation before [...]
If you attended my session about bytecode inlining at FITC Toronto you might remember that I said I have a document covering a lot of common optimization techniques. After talking to so many of you and getting nice feedback I decided to release it in a state which is a work in progress. My main idea [...]
Just as I did last year I’m helping out a graduating multimedia student of the Arteveldehogeschool in Ghent, Jo Van Snick, who is doing his thesis on Adobe AIR. If you’re a company based in Belgium or the Netherlands, regardless of your level of experience with the Adobe Integrated Runtime, I’d appreciate a few minutes of [...]
Though group management utilities have been in vogue for quite some time, they have not gained much currency amongst small business and communities. A significant part of this can be attributed to the drab outlook and difficult options that many of these tools portray. With Flex based Convos.com we get to see a radical shift [...]
Cloud Computing is the simplification of the data center by leveraging virtualization technologies to reduce complexity through homogenizing environments. Consumers are concerned with services it can perform rather than the underlying technologies.
