Flash on IPhone using cross compiling :)

As Zwetan said on the FCNG mailing list, flash apps will be available on IPhone. The magic is cross compiling.
You will create an application in AS3 and Flash CS5 will compiling the swf to native iphone app.
How cool…

The Lowdown website – Sandy 3 and lowRa

Hello there,

The 1st of December was the launch of a website I’ve been working on : The Lowdown.
This website is part of the New Zealand Ministry of Health’s national depression initiative (NDI), which aims to help young people recognize and understand depression, and encourages them to seek appropriate help, or puts them in touch with trained professionals, thus to reduce the impact of depression on the lives of New Zealanders

To create this website we have used lowRa and Sandy 3 so was done using AS3.
The site is plugged on the Silverstripe CMS, using amfphp 1.9.
Thing is both of those AS3 libraries, at the time the project started, were still in beta, and not all the features needed to develop the website done yet.
First in lowRa was missing the assembler which helps you to load dlls ( assets, classes ) and build the application at runtime ( create plugins / view / custom objects, … )
Second, Sandy didn’t get any mouse interaction on the texture level, ie interacting with InteractiveObject but also text links ( not that easy when you’re actually clicking on a snapshot of a display object :) )
So the first task has been to develop those. This project helps as well adding other features / fix in those libraries.
I’m quite happy to see they’ll be integrate in those libraries.

Sandy 3.0 – Mouse interaction with the texture of a Shape3D

Hello there,

Still for the same project I’m working on, I needed mouse interaction on the texture of 3D objects.
So kiroukou and I started developing it.

Here is a example :)
It’s working but will need some polish and debugging, as it’s still a work in progress.

Use the arrow key and the Numpad 8 and 2.

I have put a mouse_over and mouse_click event on the red shape of the sphere texture.
The scrollbar next the textfield on the Plane3D is a flash component.

Sandy – Or the 3D for flash NEEDS YOU !!!

Hello,

You probably know already Sandy. It’s a great engine, done by kiroukou.
It’s done in AS2 so imagine if it’s ported to AS3. It will be kick ass…

This engine needs you!!! Since the start of Sandy, only kiroukou is developing it and no community started to grown around it…
We need a Sandy community, and we need people to help to develop the engine, make more demo, textures, …

If you think you can help, please write to
kiroukou [at] media-box [dot] net

We all know other flash engines like Papervision. This one is great as well. But having OPTIONS is the best of all. Sandy is really good and it will be really bad / sad for the flash world to lose it. Even if you are working on other engines ( like Papervision ) you can help.

I really hope that you guys will give some of your times to this great project that is Sandy.

Don’t forget, write to:
kiroukou [at] media-box [dot] net

See you there…

Flash – Built in classes not mtasc compliant

Why? Simply cause the code in those classes is messy ( this is my opinion ) and does not respect standars.

Anyway, maybe lots of you are aware of that, but some guys have done a patch for the Adobe ( MM ) classes, that you can find
HERE.
It saves me lots of times…

SWFFix or the new “ultimate JavaScript library for embedding Flash content”

Yeah, Geoff Stearns who has done the SWFObject well know by all flash developers and Bobby Van Der Sluis who has done the UFO are working together on SWFFix.

SWFFix seems to be the next script you will play with when you’ll need to embed your swf.

If I were you I’ll keep an eye on this one…
