The last version of the coverflow was made several years ago and its still quite popular (over 700,000 downloads on just version 2). So I decided to make a new version, this new version takes advantage of the new Flash 10 3D capabilities, which is perfect for this particular use. It allows for the Flash to load faster (because its not using Papervision3D) and...

So if you know Flash pretty well ignore this post. This is for the people just starting out who are trying to get started in Actionscript 2 or Actionscript 3. Its a simple tool, but hopefully it helps some people out and they use it every once in awhile when they need some quick code. Basically its a cheat sheet that gives quick code on how to do some common...

So everyone likes the coverflow effect and everyone is using video these days. I wanted to do this effect in AS3 and thought it would be nice to release it to everyone. Its not polished or paticularly stunning (in fact its pretty plain), but its just an example of how to do it and some good code to get you started in the right direction. I don’t recommend...

TweenLite – The fastest tweening engine available – see this test. Only 3K in size and is available for AS3 and AS2. For filters see the TweenFilterLite engine. Papervision3D – A 3D engine for displaying simple elements from cubes to complex models and interactive materials. The most popular 3D engine available for Flash. Still in beta, but...

So I made this awhile ago as an experiment. It seemed to me that Flex was perfect for an interactive RSS Reader. A lot of people have problems with getting remote RSS feeds (and my solution I am sure is not perfect). If anyone finds a better solution please pass it on in the comments. This piece of code is AIR, but I also have a web-based Flex version available...

So anyone who knows me knows I LOVE Flex. I also found I love AIR. If you don’t know about these two technologies then you must check them out and give them a fair chance. I know new things are scary, but some you just see are going to change how quickly we can make an application. For example I made this simple application in about 45 minutes (and I know...

It’s coming. In fact the beta is already here. Although who knows how to actually program it yet, so its just for show now. Here are some videos that show off what it can do. Check it out and your welcome to drool a bit. Flash Player 10 Demo Video – 3D Effects Flash Player 10 Demo Video – Filters Gone Wild For more videos check them out...

So I have fallen in love again. This time its with Papervision, the naughty child of Flash. Papervision allows for people to create fairly realistic 3D scenes through an impressive code library. You can get the code library here. I have made a very basic room that you can navigate in that I would just like to share for people to take and run with and make it...

Didn’t do this, but would have loved to see them develop this. Demo: http://www.anttikupila.com/flash/flame-3d-music-in-actionscript-3/ Source Code: http://www.anttikupila.com/flash/flame-actionscript-3-source-released/ Awsome Job!!! Bookmark It Hide...
