Forums: Flash:

the thread title says it all Arse. I was wondering how long before Jack came scrambling up that beanstalk

Arse thats lovely, I see your using Blitting in Flash 9, stamping on a bitmap object.
lovely dude

aye.. Thanx guys.

That piece is something I've had in my head ever since F8 and the bitmap object came about... f8 just wasn't performant enough. I'm digging this as3 stuff.

More to come.

dood.....you're freaky and amazing.....sorry I meant freakin' amazing.

wow

nice man!

Okay... yeah, your x-mas card thingy was l33t enough.

Now I'm just going to have to kill you.

I want those Flash books back!

A quick experiment looking at emerging behaviours:

arseiam.com/12s/Nodes.html

The size of the dot on each node is it's age. The length of a nodes tail represents the amount of connections made and it's ability to spawn. Nodes become more dependant as they age.

very nice man!

3D menu system I originally built in AS2 and ported to AS3 last night.... the previous version supported about 20 nodes... this one can handle 100+

nice bit of 3D'ery going on there mate. How would you work submenu's into it - as 3D still or as a 2D view?

The as2 version has sub content on each node (you roll over them and they expand). I've been using it as a template for rapid prototyping short 5 minute presentations... prolly wouldn't work for multi-tierd content but works well for a gallery style menu. I'll post the as2 version tomorrow.

beauty mate

This is the original build which was based on a system I stumble upon somewhere out there on the intorweb. In this example the nodes are hot and when rolled over show image content. I have used the engine to create a video explorer where you each node was a short film... I'm going to play around with the f9 version and get some scaling and subcontent stuff happening.

I don't get over states in the flash 9 example. is there supposed be overstates?

NO































I'm working on it....

what? you haven't been busy with other stuff lately?


:F

as3 consumes my 'rest and relaxation' time... those bastards at work just drive me too hard!!!

this.addChild(cock);

there are quite a few changes I found Arse how about you?

not really... just the syntactic sugaring has a little cinnamon (points at stinky).

For some reaons the as3 architecture makes more sense to me and feels a little more intuative than as2... it's just a matter of getting up to speed with the syntax. Mind you, the biggest difficulty has been trying to work out the best workflow to use given that there is so many optionswith mxmlc, F9 alpha, flex builder, packages vs timeline etc etc.

I propbably won't have a commercial use for as3 until next year... so won't really understand the issues to then.
