Wow, Adobe… Flash Player 10 Beta. Already? Wow.

05/15/2008 06:42 am by Visualrinse | Design and Development by Chad Udell in Flash

Too good to be true. Seriously. Flash Player 10 Beta is available for download. My favorite feature I intend to play with Pixel Bender filters. Woohoo! Go get it now! I fully intend to abuse this once I wake up from tonight’s sleep.

After some teething troubles with my Wordpress RSS feed, and thanks to some patient help from Daniel Taborga from Adobe and the excellent Feedburner service, my posts are being aggregated once more on MXNA / Adobe Feeds. Since the posts in the meantime were not added, here’s a quick little catchup of what I’ve been doing [...]

Tutorial | Animated Zoom Blur in Flash CS3

05/13/2008 10:55 pm by Flash Enabled Blog in Flash

Some Flash effects never seem to go out of style. One such classic is a zoom-blur effect used on photographs that’s much more eye-catching than simply zooming in or out on the image. In this tutorial, we’ll combine Flash CS3 with Photoshop CS3 to create a similar zoom-blur effect on a photo. These techniques can [...]

SparkTable: Visualize Easing Equations

05/13/2008 06:43 pm by gBlog in Flash

Visualization plays an important role in my work. One example is the SparkTable tool I use to visualize and compare easing equations. Very useful when trying to choose between two similar eases, or when developing custom easing equations. It also demonstrates an interesting rendering bug in the Flash Player. You can download the SparkTable here.

Yay, the AudioTool made it on the WIRED blog. Read the article here. I am also happy that the author is mentioning the Adobe, MAKE SOME NOISE campaign. It means people begin to understand how important it is to include dynamic audio capabilities in Flash so that we can get rid of our Java server. Share [...]

Designer ScrollBars in Flex 3

05/12/2008 11:43 pm by gBlog in Flash

It seems like every UI design we're asked to implement these days has what I call "designer scroll bars" - skinny little tone on tone scroll bars that have no scroll arrows. Luckily, in Flex 3 this is a fairly simple task that you can accomplish globally with just a few lines of CSS.

Flex Skin Design Extensions For CS3

05/12/2008 02:40 pm by Ben Forta's Blog in Flash

When Flex 3 was launched a few months back, we also launched a series of extensions that can be used from within CS3 products to create Flex skins. These extensions (for Flash, Fireworks, Illustrator, and Photoshop) allow designers to skin controls which can then be imported into a Flex 3 project. We've been demoing these extensions for a while, but in the past few weeks several users have e-mailed asking where to find them, so I am posting the link here.

Mathworld Problem of the Week (free book!)

05/12/2008 05:59 am in Flash

This week’s subject is Malfatti Cirlces: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MalfattiCircles.html They look something like this: Basically, tangent circles, but each circle is also tangent to two sides of the given triangle. The challenge would be to take the file below: http://www.bit-101.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/malfatti_circles.fla and fill in the drawMalfattiCircles() method with some code that will actually draw correct Malfatti Circles. Feel free to create additional helper functions [...]

Open Letter to Component Developers and Vendors: Sell Your Code, Too!

05/12/2008 05:40 am by Visualrinse | Design and Development by Chad Udell in Flash

I work at a small shop. We work smart. Pretty agilely, for the most part. We have also built up a large repository of code, both AS2 and AS3 amongst other platforms (PHP, ASP .Net, etc) and do benefit a lot from intelligent reuse of assets and a very cool custom LCMS we have built [...]

Progress with Painting. We Have Edge Detection.

05/09/2008 04:11 pm by Visualrinse | Design and Development by Chad Udell in Flash

A previous post detailed the simple algorithm for the underpainting technique I have been messing around with in order to attempt an “impressionistic” style. I have spent a little more time working with it and in addition to the broad brush strokes that lay the base color, I have made progress in creating a layer [...]

American Idol - the mix SUCKS

Ok, I’m a fan, I admit it. I was born and raised in SoCal and at a time was trying to make it in music in LA/OrangeCo - so there’s a soft spot for musicians/singers and we love watching the show. The thing that pisses me off is the mix - the past 2 weeks [...]
