Well that was easy!
I made a quick AIR version of my monster attack “application”. The copy of AIR for JavaScript Developers Pocket Guide that they gave us at the on AIR Tour Bus event was very helpful (along with the demos that they actually presented at the event).
All I had to do was create the [...]

I’m pretty happy with how the Verlet integration engine I’ve been building is turning out. I’m using it for the next virtual pet animal I’m working on. It’s somewhat cleaner and much more extensible than the system I hacked together for my monkey. When combined with my wide-curve-drawing routines, you can create some interesting-looking stuff [...]

I’m here at the Toronto stop of the Adobe AIR Tour. So far it’s been pretty keen with cool demos, including stuff like applying Flash filters (e.g. blur, bevel, etc) to HTML elements. Nice.
I still haven’t done anything in Flex or AS3 yet, but being able to use HTML/CSS/JavaScript with full access to AS3 libraries [...]

In my current project, I am drawing Bézier curves in code rather than using MovieClip.curveTo(), thanks to the bug I wrote about back in May. Since I’m doing it in code myself, I thought I might as well use cubic Béziers (four control points) rather than Flash’s quadratic curves (only three control points). Plus, for [...]

Just a quick note right now because I’m running out the door, but I have found a site that has stolen some of my code. It looks like they decompiled some of my SWFs, changed the graphics, and rebuilt them as their own.
I’m not going to link to their site because I don’t want to [...]

I’m experiencing a strange problem: when running an Adobe AIR app, the Flash debug player trace() log stops updating!
The details: I’ve followed the steps in this article so that I can read the output of trace() while running Flash movies in the browser. I use cygwin and the tail command to view the log updating [...]

My latest Amazon order arrived, including Colin Moock’s Essential ActionScript 3.0! My journey towards Flex and AIR continues slowly…

I was excited to see SWFFix announce the release of a public alpha. I had begun to fear that the project was moribund. SWFFix is from the developers of SWFObject, UFO and the Flash player detection kit, joining forces to create what one hopes will be the best Flash-embedding method yet.
I haven’t tried it [...]

Until today, I did not realize that any HTTP requests made by a Flash movie (including LoadVars.load(), MovieClip.loadMovie(), Sound.loadSound(), etc) includes cookies — the cookies that would normally be sent by the browser anyway. In retrospect, this makes sense and is perhaps even obvious: since the Flash player asks the browser to make the connection, [...]
