Adding CSS Support to the CS3 Components

03/03/2008 10:36 pm by gBlog in Flash

The CS3 component architecture makes use of TextFormats for all the text-styling needs, and by default there is no support for CSS styling. But fear not! Not only are the components easy to extend, but it is not at all difficult to add CSS support to any component. Here is an example of a CSS TextArea (including source).

Confusion (AS3 Remix)

03/03/2008 04:50 pm by blog.je2050.de - blog and database of joa ebert in Flash

This little remix has been created using the Hobnox AudioTool. For the recording I used Audacity which is the reason why it does not sound very saturated — there is something wrong with my settings. The mix itself is quiet simple but the 303 pattern is not 100% accurate I think. Anyways I love that sound. [...]

Blogging from n800

03/01/2008 01:44 am by BIT-101 Blog in Flash

I just installed a little program called MaemoWordPy on my Nokia n800. It is basically a Wordpress and Blogger editing program. So I am testing it out by writing a blog post. That is all.

Your logo as a firework

02/29/2008 08:08 pm by Big Room in Flash

In the Flint particle system the initial velocity for particles is based on a zone. Because we can make zones from bitmap data objects and display objects it's relatively easy to create effects like the one below. The initial velocity for the particles uses a zone derived from the logo image. Add a little gravity and blur and this is the result.

Flint Presentation Slides

02/29/2008 11:49 am by Big Room in Flash

Yesterday’s presentation about the Flint Particle System at the London Flash Platform User Group went well. Everyone was very enthusiastic about Flint and I got a lot of ideas for features from the audience. Thank you to everyone who was there, and to Tink for organising it. I had a good time and I hope [...]

AS3 compiler open-source: the logical consequences

02/28/2008 10:43 am by blog.je2050.de - blog and database of joa ebert in Flash

With the release of the Flex 3 SDK the ActionScript compiler (ASC) became open-source as well. As you know I am working on my own “compiler” to inline bytecode directly with ActionScript. My approach is a post-compile compiler because I wrote it while the ASC was still closed source and ther was no way to [...]

New Infrared5 Site! (and it Rocks)

02/27/2008 03:31 am by BIT-101 Blog in Flash

Just realized I should mention this, Infrared5 just put up a new website yesterday. The design is by Rebecca Allen, implementation by John \m/ Grden. Click around. It's pretty cool. Some even cooler features planned for the near future. We just wanted to get something out by FiTC Amsterdam, as our previous site, was pretty... static.

Particle System Presentation in London

02/26/2008 08:50 am by Big Room in Flash

I'm doing a presentation about the Flint Particle System this Thursday at the London Flash Platform User Group. As well as showing how to use Flint to create particle effects I'll be delving into the underlying code architecture and showing how to customise Flint to your own requirements. I'll also be looking at some of the specific problems I encountered and solutions I employed in developing Flint so hopefully the talk will be of interest to any developer, not just those who want to create particle effects...

Away3D Temple: a low kb journey

02/24/2008 01:24 am by trace(myBitmapdata); in Flash

Why don't you add a monster in there? Can you shoot at something? Can you see under water? That's what most people told me while I was busy writing this demo. My answer: NO! I have 4 reasons for that: The first one is to give a sequel to one post (the maze one) where I've suggested that [...]

Lots going on these days

02/23/2008 06:42 pm by BIT-101 Blog in Flash

Seems I have my hands in a bunch of different projects these days. First of all, although I'm not going to FiTC Amsterdamn, I will be there in spirit. Well, even more than in spirit. More like in virtuality. If you are familiar with the band, Phlash5, you'll know that they are performing in Amsterdam on [...]

Ribbit Flash CS3 Components

Yesterday I started working on my next big project for Infrared5, a set of Flash CS3 UI components for Ribbit. IR5 has been in contact with Ribbit for a while, discussing this project, and this week we got the go ahead to start. Basically, we'll be building a set of Flash components that will show up [...]

The Silver Tongue and Lifeless Corpse of Microsoft Silverlight

02/22/2008 07:34 am by Brooks Andrus in Flash

I work in a predominantly Windows oriented development shop focused around video and there’s been lots of discussion surrounding Microsoft Silverlight and VC-1 over the last year or so. We’ve looked at the technical specs, analyzed the possibilities and engaged in seemingly endless discussions comparing the technology to the Adobe Flash platform. Microsoft has come [...]

Make some noise!

Buy some high definition speakers, register for beta and get ready for the Hobnox Audiotool! I am really proud to be a part of this project which is an online music application with ambitions to meet the needs of professional music producers but simple enough to support the creative flow of a musician instead of [...]

FITC Toronto: enthusiASM

I am so happy — this year I will speak at FITC Toronto! And it is for me the first conference outside of Europe. So what will it be about? It is the first release and session about my currently nameless inline compiler. This tool allows you to write and debug bytecode by writing ActionScript. [...]
