November Flash Meetup
November 20th, 2008
I just wanted to thank everyone who showed up to tonight’s Flash Meetup at my office. As promised here is a pdf of the presentation I gave on setting up Flex Builder 3 to compile Flash Player 10 swfs, Ant + Flash CS 4, and some Flash Player 3d fun. Hope you enjoyed!
If you work/live in New York City I hope you can make it to the next one. We go over a little code and theroy for the first hour or so and then do a Q&A on anything you want to talk about until people get tired and need to go home. Its a lot of fun and I love hosting them. Check it out if your interested in joining.
Two Sided Plane - FP 10
November 16th, 2008
Since Flash Player 10 was only officially released a month or so ago its hard to dig up any good examples on how to use the new 3d properties on DisplayObjects. I was interested in creating a simple 2 sided plane that would correctly show the front and back when it rotated. My searches led me once again to Lee Brimelow’s http://gotoandlearn.com/. He has a great example on how to do a simple 3D Video Flip. I find his site is always an excellent springboard for my code ideas but I am not a fan of using the Flash IDE. So here is an reusable class of a two sided plane that takes advantage of Flash Player 10’s native 3d Support.
