Thanks for your input Steven. I actually stumbled across Gaia just after writing something very similar in as2 complete with transition events. I was blown away by Gaia and think it may be the way to go for me for now. @Sebastian, I've basically done all the same things in as2 and have been studyin

Hi, you might be looking for a bezier thingy, or it might just be as simple as averaging the control points: If it's the latter, there's some sample source here for something like that: http://objectpainters.com/blog/2007/07/18/drawing-using-controlpoints/ greetz JC On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 9:4

I don't know of a good as1/2 lib. This math has a lot to do with line smoothing, and can be used for various applications from graphics to accurate signal processing. I would suggest brushing up on your calculus/trig for assuming the tangency of a given point on the locus, and for assuming th

I think we just wrote about this, though it may have been on a different list. Apparently this is a hot subject lately... Whether to use a framework or a pattern like MVC really depends on a case-by-case assessment. The whole reason why someone invented design patterns was to address project-s

Joel, Considering the types of Flash sites you're talking about building, Flex is not the solution you need. However, Flex is absolutely worth learning, if only to expand your skillset which leads to making more money per hour. ;) Out of all the frameworks you listed, only Gaia is for making

All, I'm looking for an AS1 (ideal) or AS2 version of a function that will draw a continuous curved line through n points. I don't know much about the math behind this, but I think that a Catmull-Rom spline is what I'm looking for. I've found a terrific example in AS3 (http://www.cartogrammar.com

A framework gives you amethod of organising your code in a manner that aids development and maintenance. Using a framework makes your code organisation understandable to others that are familiar with the framework, so it aids cooperative/team development. Potentially you can work on other projec

@ekameleon, that seems a little intense for me atm. This discussion is mainly about weather or not it's just dumb not to use a framework vs. plain as3 when building common flash sites. I'm looking to hear things like, "PureMVC makes everything easier." or "It makes no sense not to use Mate." On Sa

Completely unrelated conclusion, there is no relation between charging 10 hours for one hour of work and reusing standard components or not. If I follow your line of reasoning you say that because you are so good and can complete it in an hour instead of where someone else would take 10 it allows y
