Papervision3D cubes x240

04/30/2008 04:41 pm in Flash

I’ve just been having a play with Papervision3D 2.0 (Great White) and here are the results of my first test. I create 240 cubes inside a loop, positioning them in rows across the stage. Each cube uses six movieclips from the library as their materials. Each cube then rotates depending on the cursor position on [...]

rojo!

04/30/2008 08:07 am in Flash

Further to my last post about the current lack of MXNA, I discovered Rojo, an online feed reader that uses the “river of news” format. You can import OPML also. I now have a virtual MXNA, based on the OPML files uploaded by Mike Chambers. It doesn’t have the categorisation or the features, but it [...]

RegExp Bugs With Accented Characters

04/30/2008 07:52 am by gBlog in Flash

There are two serious bugs with the Regular Expression implementation in ActionScript, and how it handles accented characters. First, RegExp in AS3 does not include accented characters in the word character class...

mxna is still down

04/30/2008 07:37 am in Flash

At the time of writing, MXNA is still down. Mike Chambers of Adobe has put the OPML files up, though. I am trying to figure out if there’s a feed aggregator that works in a similar way to MXNA (except that it should actually work, of course) out there, until they get it back on [...]

FDT 3.0 ActionScript Code Editor Nirvana

04/29/2008 05:46 am by Brooks Andrus in Flash

While at FITC I had the opportunity to stop by the FDT booth and check out the latest version of their Eclipse based ActionScript code editor. I was actually surprised to see FDT with a booth at the show and even more surprised to be given a software demo by Nico Zimmermann, the creator of [...]

Flash, Flex & AIR Package Names

04/28/2008 03:09 pm by Tink in Flash Player 10

flash = Flash Player & AIR fl = Flash mx = Flex & AIR air = AIR Make any sense? Explicit for new users? Does anyone know why the legacy mx is still around? A while back I suggested the following, and it was brought up in conversation again the other day… player = Flash Player flash = Flash flex = Flex air = AIR To be honest I thought the feature request [...]

Pratique d’ActionScript 3

04/27/2008 09:17 pm by blog.je2050.de - Blog of Joa Ebert in Flash

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 [...]

Gideon interviews Hauwert, Moock and the GMunk

04/27/2008 05:38 pm by Seb Lee-Delisle in Flash

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 [...]

ActionScript 3 optimization techniques

04/26/2008 05:29 pm by blog.je2050.de - Blog of Joa Ebert in Flash

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 [...]

I’m turning Japanese, I really think so.

04/25/2008 04:36 pm in Flash

Well, at least my book is… Foundation ActionScript 3.0 Animation: Making Things Move! now available in Japanese! I knew this was being worked on, but didn’t know it was out already. Buy it here. I’ll be over there next month. Hopefully I can find a copy (unless someone from Friends of ED can score me one beforehand).

Installing Papervision3D on Flash and Flex

Fabian Vercuiel has posted a useful entry on his blog titled ‘Installing Papervision3D on Flash and Flex‘ which outlines how to get up and running with Papervision3D using Flash and Flex. He covers, downloading and installing a subversion client such as TortoiseSVN, getting the Great White Papervision3D files from GoogleCode, downloading and installing the Flash Extension [...]

AIR app - Shorten URLs with a click.

04/24/2008 11:24 am in Flash / Actionscript

I just finished my first AIR app as an exercise. I really dig the concept of AIR since my Code-Fu is nowhere near strong enough to mess with Cocoa. So anyway; My first app is small stuff indeed. In fact I think “Widget” is a better word for it. Inevitably, it has to do with Twitter [...]

FITC Thermo Sneaks = Yawn

04/24/2008 09:16 am by Brooks Andrus in Flash

The Adobe Thermo presentation given by Ethan Eeismann at FITC was largely a disappointment. Rather than delivering actual examples of a designer working in the latest build of Thermo, the slide driven talk labored through the historical workflow friction between designers and developers and then presented only a few screen grabs of the app where [...]

Three useful methods

04/23/2008 10:12 pm in Flash

As usual, I was blown away by Robert Hodgin's presentation at FiTC, and decided to get back into Processing again. I picked up the official Ben and Casey book at the conference book table and was reading it on the way back on the plane. Three methods described in the book blew me away with [...]

Flash Switcher for Windows, OSX and Linux

04/23/2008 02:33 pm by sephiroth.it - flash & php in flash switcher

With the upcoming release of Firefox 3 I thought I had to verify my extensions to see if they work with the new Firefox version too.
For the first version of flash switcher I did two different extensions for Windows and Mac. That was a problem for maintenance.

This time I wrote the extension from scratch and I decided to make it as much as cross platform as possible. Moreover I wanted to make the installation of new plugins easier than in the previous version of flash switcher extension ( where you had to copy manually the plugin file into the extension's directory.. ).

Thus now this extension works ( at least with my tests and people who tested it ) with Windows, OSX and Linux. Specifically it has been tested on:

Windows XP
Ubuntu linux 8.04
OSX Leopard and Tiger

Also the installation of new plugins now it's easy. Just click on the installed flash plugin and click "save". Well, I think it's quite easy :)

The only issue with the new extension is that it's quite big because it comes with 2 flash versions for every OS platform. So it's about 14Mb.

I also did a couple of video to show how it currently works on different platforms. Currently there are 2 videos (ubuntu and osx usage).

Flash Switcher Ubuntu
01:14

Flash Switcher OSX 10.5
00:44

In order to use this extension ( if you want to try it ) you need Firefox 3.
P.S. If you want to add more flash players to the extension, download and install the version you want from the flash player archive page.

Flash - Who it? What do? And why?

04/22/2008 09:23 pm in Flash / Actionscript

I just finished a presentation on Flash for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), and taking a page out of Aral Balkans book I thought I’d do a summary and share it with whoever you crazy people are. As Arals, my slides don’t make much sense on their own, so I’ll walk you through my presentation [...]
