One of the goodies in Flash Mx 2004 (God I look forward to the shorter name) is the tweening class. Although it was initially undocumented and only demonstrated in the context of screen transitions, Macromedia eventually documented it with this excellent tutorial. Furthermore you can extend the set provided by MM with Robert [...]

It’s gotten to the point where every morning I wake up expecting something fascinating from the Flash community. Of course my computer’ first morning stop has become Macromedia’s news aggregator. And from there I usually land on the blogs that have whatever is new and interesting in the rest of the web [...]

I just read this info about ScreenWeaver going open source . This is an amazing development. It’s essentially ActionScript and the Flash platform spreading to the desktop.

When I first heard of Open Source Flash (the website) I thought “Oh that’s cute”. I was vaguely familiar with ARP- hadn’t tried it and was then and still consider myself to be an ActionScript newbie.
The OSFlash community gained legs quickly, astoundingly so. So much so that it has the inertia of [...]

A couple of years ago Princess and I were messing around with these virtual personality projects and we had even started developing our own virtual human. That was in my last year of medical school which is traditionally a really light year. Whn internship came along and started drilling me a new a$$hole [...]

I found a link to an explanation of the Verlet Algorithm on Younes’ Weblog.I read another explanation at GameDev.net yesterday that was less outwardly intimidating so hopefully this one will be similar but with slight change in choice of representational symbols.

Check out he updated version at Younes’ Weblog. I tried to post a comment in my broken French but the link to the comments was down. And I worked so hard on those two sentences.

Just read abou Flade for the second or third time this morning. Last night I was deep in Bit 101’s node garden tutorials and found an addiction so it fits in well with that. I guess I know what I’ll be doing during lunch today.
In the back of my minds I’ve been trying [...]

I blogged earlier this week about having read that the gProject Panel would be coming out and wondering about it. This morning I got he email and it was on. When I received the email that included my download I resisted my usual tendency to dive in and make a mess- and then [...]

The though process went something like this…
so each object based on the mouse information can decide for itself the values of it’s instance variables. I know it’s not that huge extrapolation that I lead myself to believe it was (what with different buttons responding independently to the mouse etc) but the fact that I [...]

You can move the two end points to wherever and the middle will do the strange droop thing. This is over a year old and I really don’t remember how I derived the different formulas. I think that the oscillation formula for the midpoint came from one of the exercises in Foundation ActionScript [...]

We made no plans for breaks- a lot of my friends jumped into 6 year BA-MD programs. We knew it was a long haul and that apparently eternal happiness was at the other end. It’s funny because some 16 years later I have taken several breaks from the race. I see may [...]

There sure seems to be a dearth of mention of V2 components in Flash 8. Even the beta testers aren’t saying anything. For a bit I was viewing this with the optimism that maybe thay had a big surprise (in a good way) coming our way but I’ve read one or two posts [...]

While on the topic of gSkinner stuff, I haven’t seen any details about the former GLIC now mCom components and their sale prices etc. With the hopes dimming for major improvements on the Flash v2 components I think I’m going to be heading in the direction of the GLIC- i mean mCom components.
