Multi Touch IS the Future

19 May

I’ve been following a ton of “multi-touch” video’s, demo’s, and blogs and quite frankly I’m convinced. Multi-touch IS the next big thing. (if it isn’t already).

Recently I came across Sub Cycle. It’s author Christian Bannister is creating musical effects based on multi-touch gestures. While the tracks still have work to go, the concept is brilliant! Check it out…

You might also want to read Lee Brimelow’s latest post regarding Flash Websites and multi-touch devices (monitors, smart phones, etc).

Hope you enjoy!

File Size Watcher In Flash CS5

3 May

ss_versioning

I just installed my Master Collection last night, and as I was running through a few of the new features in Flash CS5, I thought it best to show you that there is now file size watching. (look, that’s what I call it)

Check it out:


So, in the screenshot above I’ve first put a simple shape on the stage and saved it. Then I added some text and saved it. Then, I added a Flash Playback Component and even included the source of the file. As you see, after I saved it for the 3rd time, my file increased significantly. Flash has applied a yellow warning sign to let me know that the file has increased. Really cool!

I’m also very stoked about the file snippets panel which not only has common AS3 snippets, but also allows for creation of custom snippets.

Friday Video of The Day and Flash Iphone Video Tutorial

16 Apr

I’ve really been anticipating Adobe Flash CS5 for many reasons. The main being (along with every other flash developer) is the ability to create and deploy IPhone applications. I am really excited about this being that I don’t know a lick of Objective C, nor do I ever care to learn it.

For the Friday Video of the day, I have a few videos that discuss the IPhone capabilities in Flash CS5. I also came across VERY good documentation / tutorial for creating IPhone applications from Flash. It’s a 4 part video series, and I’ve dropped them in below.

Now earlier today, I tweeted Apple’s new terms have limited Iphone applications to approved languages. I’m not sure how this will affect the release of the CS5 suite, but you can read more on Lee Brimelow’s blog. For me, it’s Friday, and that topic is more of a Monday situation!

Have a good weekend. I’m on vacation until April 26th.
