I had a really good time. Ranging from building Red5 apps, to designer/developer workflow stuff, all the way to papervision3d stuff. Kicked ass.

Still kind of looking on flickr for some relevant pictures of how i remember things, will post when i find!

Nuff said.

Well, *cough* another extended period without posting. I’ve been super busy!

I will be attending the Flashforward Boston conference next week, my first time to go, I’m excited!

I intend on being a sponge in the area of flash developer/design work flows & AS2-AS3 transitioning in particular.

Here’s my schedule:

Day One:

Day Two:

Day Three:

w00t!

This has pretty much been a far-fetched concept that I have been wanting to see done with flash for a long time.

In AS2, it is pretty much not even worth trying, But this beautiful flash 3D demo by John Grden demonstrates the potential for the future of 3D and Flash.

This certainly opens the door for several oncoming ideas, 2007 will be an interesting time for flash. can’t wait to see more!

Update: Check out this SWEET Bumpmapping demo made with papervision3d.

Now I feel a bit silly for building that little RemoteTrace tool, but I’m glad I didnt spend too much time on it. I recently discovered the Flash Player 9 debug version.

This firefox entension uses the debug flash player to allow you to see your traces in a panel in firefox! This came way too late in my opinion, but I’m really happy its here!

Enjoy!

This has to be the most simple, yet useful tool I have created in a long time.

It is called RemoteTrace, and I dont really know why I didnt create it earlier. Right now, as you can see below in the demo, it is a very simple tool, and there is only one use for it right now: Seeing your traces in an external movie!

Here is a preview:

Download RemoteTrace 1.0

Simple use guide:

1. Place an instance of the RemoteTrace on the stage and give it an instance name of anything, rt_mc for example.
2. Then add the following code:
   PLAIN TEXT
   Actionscript:

   1. rt_mc.trace("Foo Bar", true);

   The second parameter (Boolean), determines whether you want your traces to be numbered, defaults to false.

3. Publish your movie!

I plan on integrating a simple AS 2.0 interpreter for an even further debugging. I have seen some around but most are pretty much out dated. So lets see how that goes.

Oh, and; I am anxious to know what you all might think about it! Let me know!
