Razorberry’s Adobe Flash Blog

After a week of inserting asdoc comments, I uploaded the source to the Razor Component Framework to my public svn. The components also have a new project page, at:

http://www.razorberry.com/components/

The ticket system is open to submission as long as it doesn’t get spammed, and I will also be adding more documentation and examples on the wiki over the coming weeks.

I’m always open to constructive criticism, so please feel free to email me (razor (at) razorberry.com) with your thoughts, just as long as your thoughts amount to more than “These suck!”. But please also keep in mind that this is beta software, and I’m providing no warranties or guarantees of any kind :).

As I mentioned in my last post. I still need to backport some features before releasing the as2 source, but the as3 source is all there.

Have fun!

Assembly ‘07 recently wrapped up in Helsinki, Finland. Along with the party came a whole slew of new flash demos to watch. The winners of the Browser demo competition were Evoflash and BombSquad, with their demo ADHDTV, which you can see here. They also made the excellent Who killed Travolta from last year.

You can find a full list of releases with downloads at the scene.org ftp site. And the full party results are here.

Just playing around with and getting used to Flex Builder..

Thought I would make an obligatory ‘omg Flash 8 is out!’ post to join one of the 5 million that will be on MXNA today

But I’ll add something extra for codemonkeys like me:

Handy page on livedocs detailing all the new actionscript goodness

Have fun!

In my spare time, I’m playing around with a Flash XML socket server written in C and running on Linux. Eventually, I’ll have it running a multiplayer online game with flash as a front end. The game rules and such will be held on the server to avoid cheating and for better synchronization.

In order to make a change I can either edit the files on my remote web server, which is kindof annoying, or I can use an editor to download the files, edit them locally, and upload any changes I make, then compile remotely. The editor I’ve been using is called Crimson Editor. It’s free, and allows you to edit remote files directly over an ftp connection.
