  • How to become a Flash/Flex Developer?

    When I was in college I had a general idea of what I wanted to do, but I had no clue how to get there. Basically, I wanted to create rich interactive experiences.


  • Data Analytics and Tracking User-Behavior in Flex Applications

    Application analytics is not something you think about when developing a Flex application. However, the importance of being able to analyze userbehavior should not underestimated.


  • Animating with ActionScript

    This article is targeted at all levels. Whether you’ve been using Flash for years, or have only just started getting to grips with ActionScript, there’s something here for you.


  • Create your first ActionScript game in minutes

    This step-by-step guide will take you from a blank flash document to an
    alien shooter game in minutes, with any tricky parts explained in ordinary everyday language. The tool that you’ll be using to make your game is Adobe Flash CS4.


  • Flash DecalSheet System

    I came up with the idea of creating what I call Flash DecalSheets from the stickers that come with model airplanes and have been using “Decals” to skin my own Flash applications ever since.


  • Flickr in Flash – Creating a portfolio

    In the last issue of Flash & Flex Developer’s Magazine, we looked at how to connect to Flickr from Flash, and how to interact with the data that we could access from Flickr. In this issue, we’re going to extend that functionality to create an online Flash portfolio, managed by Flickr.


  • How to use Yahoo! Maps in Flex

    Flex & Yahoo! Maps are both great! So let’s combine both of them into
    the cool components and applications that can be used in Rich Internet
    Application development.


  • Flex Application Architecture

    The role of the View in a Cairngorm application is to throw events based on user actions (such as button clicks, loading, entering of data etc.). And bind to the Model for data representation. (Either through Value Objects or other structures).


  • Google Analytics for Flash

    In this time of economic crisis, marketing budgets are shifting from traditional to digital because of the latter’s ability to provide data about its effects.


  • Miniblog Part 2

    Welcome to part 2 of the miniblog project. In part 1 (2/2008) you learned how to build the blog editor, database setup and PHP required to connect the two. In part 2 you will learn how to develop a front-end for the blog entirely in Flex. For this project I have used Flex Builder 3, but you can easily use the Eclipse plug-in or Flex SDK if you prefer.


  • Drag and Drop in AIR using Flash CS3

    We all use desktop applications; our calculator, music player, text editor etc. When using these apps, our expectations are different when using a website.


  • FLEXing Your Business Application

    When I first saw FLEX demos I thought This is a great technology for those guys that build web applications with lots of pictures and simple shopping cart functionality, but it isn’t robust enough to handle a REAL business application. Well I am happy to say, I was wrong!


  • New 3D Methods of Display Objects in Flash Player 10

    In the expanded version of AS3 that ships with Flash CS4, every Display
    Object is embedded in 3D space, with x, y and z coordinates as well as
    properties that allow rotation about any of the three coordinate axes and more advanced manipulations.


  • Blender to Flash workflow

    3D in Flash has seen a massive popularity surge since the Flash Player
    9 release. Despite all the new possibilities there is a lot to do to make it perform well. One way to optimize a 3D Flash experience is by exporting a 3D model straight to ActionScript 3.0.


  • How to view PowerPoint on YouTube

    As a free online video sharing website, YouTube allows anyone to view and share videos that have been uploaded by its members. Many of us may
    have made some funny and useful PowerPoint presentations. Have you
    ever thought they can also be uploaded to YouTube to share with people all around the world? But as PowerPoint is not in a format that YouTube accepts, how should we deal with it.
