I’m really pleased to say that we have Branden Hall speaking at FlashBrighton tomorrow night (March 23rd 2010) about Hype. Hype is Branden and Joshua Davis‘ love child (now there’s a scary thought!) and I’m really excited about it. Josh was inspired by the way Flash made it easy to hack around with script and […]
(previously titled : Flash Player bug? for each..in loops) [UPDATE] Kudos and much thanks to Tim Knip who pointed out that it was in fact my mistake – there’s a stray semi-colon at the end of the line : for each(byteArray in soundSources); Which is of course ending the loop there and just running the […]
… is measured in samples. Not bytes or mils. So if you want to know how it relates to the ByteArray you’re working with, you need to multiply it by 4 (as each floating point sample requires 4 bytes). And if you want to convert it to mils, you need to divide by 44.1, the […]
… is measured in milliseconds. Why do I mention this? Because it seems to have been entirely omitted from the ActionScript live docs and it took me a while to figure it out. Maybe this post will save someone some time in the future. 🙂 [UPDATE] I just noticed that this is actually specified in […]
UPDATE – HTML 5 Canvas version now online During my session at the Flash Gaming Summit, I showed a very simple 3D particle renderer to attempt to demystify the process of converting 3D into 2D. [kml_flashembed publishmethod=”dynamic” fversion=”10.0.0″ useexpressinstall=”true” movie=”/wp-content/uploads/manual/2010/Particles3D.swf” width=”500″ height=”350″ targetclass=”flashmovie”] [/kml_flashembed] Click and drag. The actual code that converts from 3D to […]
I just got back from a crazy fleeting visit to Amsterdam for FITC, and now the dust is settling, I wanted to talk about some cool new features in FlashPlayer 10.1, especially now that FlashPlayer 10.1 Beta 3 has just been released on Adobe Labs! RTMFP – Peer-to-peer networking Yes it’s quite catchy name I […]
This has been a massive problem to me lately, particularly with distributing files on my training courses. For some reason, the swf files that I give my attendees don’t open with the stand alone FlashPlayer, instead they often default to Flash CS4 etc. I know the usual way to do this is by right clicking […]
So after last time, I thought I’d given ElectroServer more memory, but it turns out I hadn’t. I’m not exactly sure why, but I suspect it’s something about how Media Temple is set up. So rather than call the main ElectroServer app (which is just a shell script), I’m opening the ElectroServer jar file, and […]
I suddenly started getting a really weird error from Flash when trying to connect to ElectroServer : Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: //games.seblee.me/moonlander/MoonLanderViewer.swf cannot load data from 72.47.193.154:9899. I posted to the ElectroServer forums and quick as a flash, Teresa got back to me – apparently ElectroServer was running out of […]
Pete Hellicar and Joel Gethin Lewis put me on to this iPhone app that creates a Lego portrait of you which is awesome. But I thought it’d be fun to do it in Flash in realtime.
