Re: [Flashcoders] Oh the irony
i think that adobe should concentrate on 2 areas - the air runtime for application development and the canvas tag for web deployment at the sxsw conference, the adobe flash guy was getting a lot crap over the canvas tag and he eventually responded with the none-too-indecipherable statement that 'adobe makes tools' - they will go where the money is and in the future that will probably be sans-plugin for the web at least a On 17 May 2010 01:44, Mattheis, Erik (MIN - WSW) ematth...@webershandwick.com wrote: Sort of makes one wonder if Apple knows Adobe isn't tied to a specific platform whereas Apple by definition is. Very insightful - a specific technology makes that technology dwindle, it's an unstoppable force. Adobe is more loose footed than Apple in the current bruhaha - creating the 10.1 player to work well across a variety of devices vs a locked down business model. Consumers and Adube won't give a f**k whether the creative output from their products is through HTML5, the Flash Player or some other technology. That said, if WebKit works identically across platforms, Adobe has nothing to lose by adapting the products to target it. The only way I can see this making sense for Apple is if they're aiming to eclipse Adobe with an authoring tool. And if it exports to Android, RIM, etc, well I'll adopt to it. But it seems to me Adobe is ahead in that game. (Sent from my Mac Mini, haha) From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [ flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Matt S.

I have no problem with that. I actually think HTML5 is pretty cool. I just dont think it needs to be an either/or question, and find the struggle-to-the-death approach that Jobs is championing ludicrous, and find alot of the Flash is dead because... statements to be based on false assumptions. Yeah, of course, if you ban it from devices, it will die, but that isnt exactly allowing the technology to evolve organically. Bad technology dies under its own weight. No one needed to drown Netscape or Director or Cobol in the bathtub in order to get rid of them. If Flash's day is done, it will die soon enough on its own. All Jobs has done is convince a whole swath of decision-makers that Flash is toxic and shouldnt be touched, even in cases where Flash is actually the superior option, and thats just a shame. How many game developers are now being asked We want to do something like http://www.gettheglass.com/but NOT in Flash, because Flash is dead. You can do that in HTML5 right?

[Flashcoders] TweenMax negative values issue
I have the following code :
trace(Current Y:+initY+ Final Y:+finalY);
item.y = -200;
tweenObject = new TweenMax(item,time,{y:finalY, ease: Bounce.easeOut,
onComplete:tweenStopped()});
tweenObject.play();
Instead of tweening from negative the object seems to be coming from down
(+ve) Doesn't tweenMax cater for negative values?

Sorry for the post figured out the issue. When I was using normal tween, I
was giving a initial Y cordinate which was not the Y-Cordinate of the item I
put the tween on :)

[Flashcoders] Compress Movie using swfmill and haxe

They make a lot of money off of them--payloads, and other things they don't talk about. At the moment, revenue from Shockwave plug-in downloads is the only thing that's keeping Director on life support. Flash, and the Web suites, are a bit different in that they make money of box sales (including downloads). They don't sell enough copies of Director to pay for the QA, so they have to rely on download payloads. CS suites aren't so dependent, but I would wager it's still a significant revenue stream.

[Flashcoders] IK Armature related error message
Does anyone know what this message means? it doesn't stop the program from playing, but seems to suggest i'm doing something wrong: Runtime symbols with skewed matrices should be wrapped in a movie clip Any one here animating armatures with code? any suggested resources? Feel like the flash library is pretty thin on samples and support for more novice coders like me, and googling it i'm not finding much besides Rich Shupe's code, which is great, but kind of just a start. Thanks Steve ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] IK Armature related error message
Sounds like a very simple issue. For some reason the IK library does not like symbols that have been skewed. So it recommends that you wrap them in an unskewed container before giving it to IK. What skew you ask? Think card house. One where you push from the side. While it is collapsing, it is skewing. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Changing Values Programmatically
- build in some traces
- I won't dive in your code sice it has a weird structure and a lot of
if else cases that can go wrong easily;
- work with states.
- You might want to make a clear reset(state:String) function that
resets all back to a certain state before starting again.
But maybe start checking on the alpha and also if it is staged.
trace(XXXContainer.alpha, XXXContainer.stage,XXXContainer.visible)
Also make sure your Tweens don't overwrite each one another.
