My First Go Animation Class: PropertyTween
So I finally decided to have a go (no pun intended) with Moses new Go tween framework. I've only scratched the surface, but its pretty cool how easy it was to create a simple tween class that can tween the properties of any object.
Will Adobe Continue to Please Us All? Yeah, I think so.
Recently, as seen via MXNA, I've noticed quite a bit of discourse over Adobe's future plans with the Flash platform. Specifically, are few people are nervous that Adobe will abandon the Flash IDE and perhaps focus on other development platforms such as Flex Builder. Its a rather interesting thing to think about at this point in time and, after reading a few posts, I'm a bit surprised that anyone is nervous.
WROX :: Adobe AIR Create-Modify-Reuse
I haven't been up on posting lately, mainly because Matt Wright, Todd Anderson and I have been in a lock down trying to get the our book, Adobe AIR Create-Modify-Reuse, ready for publishing. As of last night, we reached our goal. The book is written and is placed on the back-burner for a while.
Apparently it now goes to Wiley (publisher) for in-house reviews, style changes, etc. We'll see the book again before it's finished. As it is, Adobe AIR/Flex 3 hasn't gone gold yet, and we'll probably have to update our code one final time when that happens. We will most likely have to change applicationDirectory back to applicationResourceDirectory or someting new like nativeApplicationDirectory.
Either way, thank you Matt, Todd and Brian (our editor) for your help with our book. Everyone should stay tuned as to when it will actually be released.
