I’ve uploaded the latest stable version of Tweener to the download list – the current stable version is now 1.26.62. This version basically adds better error handling by way of onError and add a nifty inheritance-style parameter to new tweenings, base. I’ve also uploaded the new new version – 1.31.66 – to the subversion repository; […]
Continue reading →Yuichi Tateno, the mind behind JSTweener, now has a blog in english. Among other things, he has just posted a new special property modifier for the actionscript version of Tweener – one that allows higher order bezier curves, allowing developers to create cubic beziers (and beyond) instead of a series of quadratic bezier curves like […]
Continue reading →Other than fixes to broken features and other small things, there are two huge features I see in the future of Flash: hardware-accelerated 3D support, and pixel shader support. This dream became closer to reality yesterday, as Adobe announced some of the new features of Flash Player 10 (codenamed “Astro”) at Adobe Max 2007 (see […]
Continue reading →Fellow Brazilian Miller Medeiros send word of his website for FitFlash, an open-source JavaScript solution for Flash movie resizing on an HTML page. It works on top of other embedding solutions such as SWFObject, and allows a custom resizing solution, restricting the minimum Flash movie size. A pretty nifty solution that I hope will be […]
Continue reading →I’m really late on this one, but here it goes: the new version of the Sandy 3d engine is out in the wild, and one of the changes on the API is that properties are now directly accessible. As a result, creating tweenings with Tweener is pretty easy; Dennis Ippel has a bunch of articles […]
Continue reading →Here’s a few links that are long overdue. Jens Krause has an extension to use contrast, saturation and other color properties in Tweener. It’s based on Mario Klingemann’s ever helpful ColorMatrix class. The next version of Tweener will include similar special properties, although the internal implementation is pretty different (due to the fact that the […]
Continue reading →We’ll have so much to write about Tweener on the next few days that I figure I’ll split it into a few different posts and go slowly. This specific post is to say that we’ve finally published a more readable list of the available transitions on Tweener, in the form of a cheat sheet. See […]
Continue reading →Eduardo Costa (from Brazil) has just published a version of his new Litr Class. It’s a transition class for AS2 that features a slightly different syntax and a few custom built-in properties. All in all, another good choice for people interested in actionscript tweening.
Continue reading →I’m delighted to announce that Baluta Cristian has ported Tweener to the haXe language. It works pretty much the same as the ActionScript versions, although with a slightly different syntax on some cases. Find out more about the project here. There are also other languages that haven’t seen the tweening light just yet – UnrealScript, […]
Continue reading →…it’s here. It sure took its time. The jump from ActionScript 2.0 to ActionScript 3.0 is a big one. Despite bigger syntactical and structural similarities, it’s a much wider gap than the one we had to go through from ActionScript 1 to ActionScript 2 because it can’t be done gradually – old code is not […]
