  • Vote for a locally running Flash Player settings panel

    The issue reported in my last post is now fixed so well done Adobe for moving so quickly!

    There were a lot of commenters who felt that this system is fairly unwieldy and perhaps the settings should run locally. I checked out Jira and there are actually 2 feature requests there already, the first being submitted by Linda Walsh just over a year ago, but sadly with no votes!

  • After several weeks of hard work, the upcoming beta release of WorkflowLab is just around the corner. Throughout this week, I’ll be previewing a number of the new features we have added into WorkflowLab for this release, a majority of which are from people in the community that submitted ideas on the Adobe Labs forums, or through blogs and Twitter.

    The community response to WorkflowLab has been very positive, and a lot of people are very curious with what WorkflowLab has the potential to be. WorkflowLab was originally launched at Adobe MAX as an alpha release with a single intention: To help the community of designers, developers and their management teams learn about project best practices and recommended workflows.

  • Twitterformats are community-driven, human-readable/writable, lightweight client-side APIs that extend Twitter to solve practical problems.

    Twitterformats add semantics to Twitter conversations and empower the community to evolve Twitter in an organic fashion.

    How it works

    Anyone can propose a new Twitterformat by sending a Proposal Ping. Twitterformat proposals are listed in the Formats section of this site.

    Community members can leave comments and rate Twitterformat proposals using a 5-star rating system.

    Twitter client developers adopt Twitterformats by implementing them in their apps. To have their efforts reflected in the Implementations section of this site, they send an Implementation Ping.

  • Introduction

    Flash MiniBuilder is a lightweight IDE created for developing programs written in ActionScript 3.

    Flash MiniBuilder is itself written in ActionScript

    Two of the main raison d'etre of MiniBuilder are

    * provide a completely free and cross platform alternative for developing ActionScript projects.
    * provide an editor with a small footprint that would eventually run on smaller computers like netbooks or even pocket-size devices.

    Extending, changing (and even integrating MiniBuilder with other software) is easy: MiniBuilder is itself written in your favourite language, AS3!

    This and some of it's unique features and concepts will make it the IDE of choice for lots AS3 developers.

    MiniBuilder will benefit from Adobe AIR's ability to launch applications from the browser. Code samples, online tutorials, code libr

  • HYPE is a creative coding framework built on top of ActionScript 3. A major goal of HYPE is to allow newcomers to Flash and ActionScript to creatively play and express themselves while they are learning how to program.

    To get started, the user needs only the most basic knowledge of programming – variables, conditionals, loops, and functions, for example.

    As the user learns more about programming they can extend HYPE and thus grow their skills, while at the same time inspiring the next generation.

  • flixel is a completely free collection of Actionscript 3 files that helps organize, automate, and optimize Flash games; an object-oriented framework that lets anyone create original and complex games with thousands of objects on screen in just a few hours. You can read more about it here.
