Little Blue
Thursday, June 12th, 2008Elmer I bit off a little more than I can chew with my tic-tac-toe project. Do you feel like working on it with me? In particular, I would appreciate just some overall mentoring. It would probably shorten my AS learning curve quite a bit. Also, if you feel like writing any ...
Ideas:
Friday, May 9th, 2008Hey Chris and Jay (primarily). I have a few ideas I want to whip together to make a customized DnD play site for myself. It would feature DM tools, links to online tools, ways to easily "tag" information online, to copy into another web page, a custom wiki and database ...
Flash Shooter Game
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008Hey ya'll. I just had an idea for a simple Flash shooter game. Here are some resources: Smash TV 1943 Shadowrun Geometry Wars Lawnmower Man The Legend of Zelda Alterac Valley Counter Strike So, the basic idea is from Shadowrun. In the future, hackers use a virtual reality interface to hack into secure systems. Different 'nodes' connect to ...
Links for Adobe AIR?
Monday, February 25th, 2008Does anyone have a good, technical article or three about Adobe's newly-released AIR platform? It hit 1.0 today. The best I've got so far is a gloss-over from ArsTechnica. I still have some questions about how it fits in with Flash, or if it's an entirely different beast.
Particle Systems
Monday, February 25th, 2008Hey Everyone - I just recently watched a tutorial on the usage and creation of particle systems in Flash. This is an AS2 version, so it is retardedly slow, compared to what can be done with AS3. Please feel free to mess around with it. It is so easy to ...
Plug-In Media
Friday, February 22nd, 2008Found some tutorials on Lynda.com for particle effects in Flash CS3, from this British dude at Plug-In Media. Check out their website, it's pretty frickin' cool.
Embedding Flash intelligently.
Thursday, February 21st, 2008Hey, I've been using this method for my work at Gleim primarily, and SWFObject is an excellent tool. I'm not entirely sure what it's fallback is if javaScript is disabled, so that might be worth checking out, but basically, this provides a way around the IE activation issue, a nicer ...
AS3 Loader
Thursday, February 14th, 2008That loader I wrote has a wide variety of uses, but I'd also suggest for things like images and swf files, to use the basic Loader. /* found on the adobe website, on LiveDocs this is some sample code. */ import flash.display.*; import flash.net.URLRequest; // This just creates a stupid square to put it in ...
Loader
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008Basically, to load a file from a server/directory structure, you have to use a URLRequest. var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, update); loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.COMPLETE, finished); function loadThisURL(target:String):void { loader.load( new URLRequest(target); } function update(event:ProgressEvent):void { // This would tell what you wanted to perform whenever progress was made. Some sample ideas: // Increasing the length of a bar to ...
