Create 3D-scenes in Flash: objects, mechanisms, buildings visualization. Import geometry from 3D-formats, upload textures (including animated). Three-dimentional projects and games, basic physics simulation (friction, collision).

Controlling loading is tedious, error prone, and each projects has such specific requirements that you end up rewriting loading code. A lot. In my last project I spent 4 hours debugging download code and promised my self I would solve this annoyance once and for all. So in the best "let me be lazy" fashion, I decided to write my final loading code.

A set of free and open libraries, written in ActionScript 3.0 for Flex and Flash developers. Follow the External Project Link for links to source code & docs as well as the project group. NOTE: These libraries are of beta quality and released as-is.

If there's an authoring building block or tool you want that you can't find, it is often easy to build it yourself, using either components or the JSAPI (JavaScript API). I'll illustrate how this works in practice, using work I have carried out over the last month (July 2004) as an example. During this time, I was working with Adam Phillips to create a web site for a future project.

To kick off my session at FitC2006, I modified my Blazing Blazes demo to work off the bass level of a loaded music track using the new computeSpectrum feature in ActionScript 3. You can see it in action by clicking the screenshot below (Flash player 9 required). Note that while the demo is small (3kb), the music file is big, so it'll take a while to load.

If you watched my last tutorial you know how much of pain it was to read audio data in Flash. The old "analyze in AE" method is now a thing of the past. The new SoundMixer.computeSpectrum() method reads audio data at runtime allowing you to create audio-driven animations. Click on the image below to see my first experiment. This only took 10 minutes! Get ready to see some crazy stuff from the Flash community. Source is below as well.

After checking Sephiroth's SoundMixer experiment I thought something nicer could be done working a little bit more on that field. Long time ago I did some Visualization system for r08028. With flash7/8 you weren't able to get even the volume of the Sound so I had to do a quick tool with C for generating .txt files with the data. Luckily with Flash9/AS3 you can get that data on-the-fly!!

There were so many great entries in this contest and deciding on a winner was hard! After much deliberation and help from the great group of mods at the GTAL forums, I’m officially declaring the winner to be trioptic with his fullscreen masterpeice! It has such a cool feel to it and is kind of like watching a painting melt. I love the soundtrack too! Trioptic will be receiving a 6-month Premium subscription to the Lynda.com Online Training Library.
