As soon as I heard of the 25-Line ActionScript Contest I knew I’d have to take part. So I tried re-implementing Substrate in 25 lines. I ended up with a pretty limited version but it runs fine and looks nice. But, oh well, I didn’t make the finals :( And I don’t plan on entering [...]

Update: I updated the .swf files. So hopefully now those pesky Flash Player errors are gone :( Shame on me for bad coding. I had a little fun with particles in AS3 the past days. I wrote a small piece based on my Processing port framework that traces the paths of particles. The particles pick [...]

If you ever tried to convert a SWF animation to a video you know what a pain it can be. Let’s first look at the solutions at hand: Exporting a movie from Flash Using a SWF to movie converter Screen capture Now let’s break those down. Exporting a movie from Flash – Doesn’t play sub-movieclip [...]

While working on a reference implementation in Actionscript for a demo effect, I accidentally ended up with this beauty. It’s based on the lovely City Traveler algorithm by Jared Tarbell with only a few minor adjustments actually. I thought I’d share nevertheless :) Be sure to stop it at some point, otherwise it will go [...]

I wrote 3 small file templates for the AS3Project in FlashDevelop. They come in quite handy when working on a PureMVC based project. PureMVC-Command.as.fdt PureMVC-Mediator.as.fdt PureMVC-Proxy.as.fdt I hope it helps someone ;)

For ease of use i have a small batch file to generate the documentation for my ActionScript projects. It’s definitely nothing special, but if you struggle with the asdoc syntax and you just want a quick solution, here it is: It also points asdoc to the bin directory of AsWing, where it will find the [...]

I updated all the processing works to use a more common code base. Additionally i added start/stop functionality to the small versions displayed directly in the blog. I also fixed a few minor (and some major) issues in the Sand Traveler project. In the original code you will find the following line: float tinc = [...]

2008-05-26: I fixed some parts of this port. For further details check the updated works post. For this one i have to credit quite a few people. As always, i started out with the Processing source by Jared Tarbell. He based his code on an implementation by Paul Bourke, who based his work on a [...]

2008-05-26: I fixed some parts of this port. For further details check the updated works post. I saved one of my favorites by Jared Tarbell’s for now. The algorithm amazed me almost as much as Substrate did, but when i decided to port Tarbell’s works i knew i could put a little sugar into this [...]

2008-05-26: I fixed some parts of this port. For further details check the updated works post. I finished another one of Jared Tarbell’s works. Based on the experience with Substrate, this port was straight-forward. I also just gave the new Flash Player 10 Beta a run for it’s money. I can only recommend installing it [...]
