Yes, its time, I need to… So how to make the transition from FlashDevelop to FDT as easy as possible? Let FDT react like FlashDevelop And I don’t even have to break a sweat: the amazing Steven Sacks (creator of Gaia) wrote an article about it: read here. The only two thing that I’m using [...]
Yesterday I saw this post in my RSS feeds, and I just want to remember this (and make sure that I’m really a senior ) So here is a list of stuff you need to know when you say you are a senior Flash/ActionScript developer: http://pv3d.org/2009/08/28/10-things-every-senior-flash-developer-should-know/ I don’t like to regurgitate so I only show [...]
My favorite open source project ever, FlashDevelop has released: FlashDevelop 3.0.0 RTM (English, 4MB) . I started with coding in the Flash IDE, when I realized that there are better programs to code in I started working with SE|PY (ActionScript 2 only). I really loved that program, but it never made it to ActionScript 3 [...]
Sometimes I open ActionScript files in another editor then FlashDevelop. And in my case this is Notepad++. Notepad++ has ActionScript syntax highlighting but it seems that it doesn’t detect it. When I open an AS file it uses the Haskell syntax highlighting, and that is very annoying especially when you open a couple of files [...]
A while back a read this post about the AS3 Pills #1 – Document class and it reminded me to write something about the “Document Class”. The title of this post is a little misleading: there is no “Document Class” in Actionscript 2 but this is probably the way you are searching for this problem. [...]
This is one that I figured out pretty quick. What has the ActionScript 2.0 Migration to say about this subject: ActionScript 2.0 ActionScript 3.0 Comments random() Math.random() Removed. Use Math.random() instead. I could have seen that coming: Deprecated since Flash Player 5. This function was deprecated in favor of Math.random(). Returns a random integer between 0 and [...]
I was looking for a physics engine for Flash so I started looking for one… there are a lot of engines… I won’t mention them all, there are enough people who did that already (here, here, here and here) If the list is that big, how to choose? Well I also want to use it [...]
Where did attachSound go in AS3? It’s almost the same as attachMovie (I already covered attachMovie: read attachMovie post) I was never very good in sound, and I didn’t use it a lot in my applications/animations. That changed with my new job. But for the people that remember attachSound in AS2, this is how its [...]
Where did swapDepths () go in AS3? This is what the ActionScript 2.0 Migration has to say about this: ActionScript 2.0 ActionScript 3.0 Comments swapDepths() Method Removed In ActionScript 3.0, you can achieve similar functionality by using the methods of the DisplayObjectContainer class, such as the addChildAt(), setChildIndex(), swapChildren(), and swapChildrenAt() methods. Removed… bummer, so with what [...]
For a project of mine: Custmm Grumm I needed to change a shape into an array (explained in this post shape 2 array jsfl ). To make this happen I imported the .AI file (Illustrator) to the stage. But it will place everything on one layer, every shape it’s own ‘group’ and the script I [...]
