Papervision3D snow
I don’t know about you guys, but at the moment I’m getting several calls a day asking for Flash Christmas cards. And what do you need in a Flash Christmas card? Christmas snow! Remember last year I completed the 3D-Flash-snow-in-15-minutes challenge at FlashBrighton’s Big Day Out? Well this year I thought I’d do the same […]
Any of you using Andy’s ViewportLayers (see his post here) to selectively render separate layers will now find a fairly significant improvement in performance. And it’s because we’ve managed to shrink Flash’s dirty rectangle! The dirty rectangle is the area of the screen that is being redrawn by the Flash Player every frame, and you […]
… and you should get the Flash equivalent of Hamlet. Well that’s the theory at least. However we only had seven coders and seven laptops, so we ended up with seven different types of crap. 🙂 At tonight’s FlashBrighton session we had a Flash Pass-the-Parcel, where we all got 5 minutes on each computer before […]
Happy Birthday Keith Peters!
John, Andy and I thought we’d chuck a little something together for Keith now that he’s 44, (or 14 x Pi if you’re talking his language). Happy Birthday!
Have you ever found any use for any of my stuff? That nifty particle effect on your game? That 3D Papervision website? Or perhaps you’ve just found my wry sense of humour somewhat amusing? Now’s your chance to thank me! But I don’t want anything from you. No, I’m asking you to pay it forward! […]
I just realised that I kinda left this thread hanging – the truth is I’m bored with this fight! (And the discrepancies with european prices too). I tried but failed to figure out whether their “free gift” for speakers would be something I may actually want (thus making up for the flights), but apparently that […]
The FOTB08 carnival leaves town
And it is with a mixture of sadness, exhaustion, and joy to have been host to such a great many Flash friends from all over the world. The conference was pretty damn amazing, and it was incredible to catch up with my great friends Mario, Ralph, Keith, Rob, Jeremy, Carlos, Chris and the many, MANY […]
Flash on the Beach Miami
Just as the Flash literati are descending on Brighton it turns out that John Davey (Mr Flash on the Beach) has bigger plans… As if it’s not enough to set up a massive conference here in Brighton (an unbelievable 1050 tickets sold this year), he’s crossing the Atlantic to another famous beach, with hopefully better […]
Unexpected Flex build error
I just had a weird one I thought I’d share on here in case anyone else has it. Or in case I get it again for that matter. I kept getting the same error from Flex Builder : “An internal build error has occurred. Right-click for more information.” After much searching and sulking I found […]
