Create SWC library from FDT

I use Greensock Tweening Platform a lot, it awesome. Download it (here for example) and you have everything you need. Now I start working with SWC files and they are so compact: I love it. But how do you get a library in a SWC? Google has an answer but it’s very complex. The best [...]

FDT and ANT – part 1

Just started to work with FDT and wrote about my “troubles” (post#1 and post#2) with my transition from FlashDevelop. (have to be very carefull what I say: “they” are watching me: here and here ) And it seems to be a very natural (geeky) thing to learn about ANT. And where do you go to [...]

My first AIR app: SWF2GIF-banner – part 1

Sometimes, and I’m not very fond of them, I need to make banners….. The animation part is not so bad, but making the different sizes…. that can be a drag. And after you made the SWF banners, you also need to make the animation in GIF. This is how I use to do it: make [...]
