Adobe is gearing up for the next release of their AIF Toolkit – the editor/preview tool for the shader revolution that’ll arrive with Flash 10 – and they have some small/big changes for the next version. I’ve been working on the next version of the toolkit and I’m hoping it will make a bunch of […]
Continue reading →I’m a sucker for statistics, so it’s with delight that I point out that the Programming Language Popularity page has been updated, and it now includes Actionscript on the list of languages covered by its graphics. What’s not so delightful though is to see Actionscript isn’t exactly popular when compared to most other popular languages […]
Continue reading →Mitchell Hudson has just published a few examples with source where he uses the AS3 version of Tweener to control the animation of a few interface elements.
Continue reading →Arthur Debert, co-author of Tweener, has just posted a few tips on using some specific Tweener features. Sometimes, a few features not strictly related to tweening may not be immediately clear, so this is the kind of stuff that’s pretty useful; I still have to write similar posts too.

You can see FIVe3D at work at Mathieu’s award-winning LAB website. The big difference when compared to existing packages such as Papervision3D – which is also manages to be its biggest […]

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 →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 →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 →…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 […]
