Flash player 10

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Its that time again. Time to get into the latest and greatest tech from one of those giant software engineering companies. This time, the tech is Adobe’s Flash player 10.

Step 1: download the Flex 4 SDK and the Flash player 10 (debug version).

Step 2: Create a fresh config file that will target Flash player 10.

Step 3: Use MXMLC to compile your Actionscript or MXML file.

Step 4: Explore AS3 with Flash 10!

I’ve only tinkered around a bit at this point. But as soon as I get a chance to build a crazy app, I’ll have a more thorough write-up. So far, I’m quite excited at the new features. Be sure to read up on the following:

new Vector class

The inverse kinematics package

The new Shader class

The all new text engine package

IRL Update – Mims H. Wright is moving to LA

Monday, September 15th, 2008

After six years in Brooklyn, New York, Mims H. Wright, awesome Flash developer, is moving to Los Angeles, California where he will continue doing what he did before only this time with more sunshine. Moving day is 9/26… if you’re free that day, maybe you can help pack the truck. He will dearly miss New York, it’s inhabitants, and not-driving.

If you’re a resident of sunny L.A., drop me a line! Let’s be pals.

The launch of Google’s new browser, “Chrome” has a lot of people talking. Rather than bog us down with boring technical details, Google have hired acclaimed comic book artist and author of “Understanding Comics“, Scott McCloud to explain the new features and how they were conceived. It makes for some interesting and very digestible reading.
