Wow!!! Finally Adobe Flash on my phone… again.
I was waiting for it from the first Flashlite version on Nokia S60.
Infact, after the previous FlashLite experience, Adobe is working on the Adobe AIR version for mobile devices available on all Android phones with OS > 2.2 (the last version in this moment, codename Froyo)
Now it’s still in a beta, so it’s not officially available on your Flash CS5, but it will be available soon.

After you have configured your Arduino board to properly work with your Flash applications you could quickly update your existent Flash or Flex games to get input from a joystick.
I have modified three prototypes, 2 cars games and 1 platform, to work with a mini-stick, spending no more than 5 minutes to update each game.

In this article we’ll develop an image gallery in a 3d enviroment using Flash Cs4, ActionScript 3.0, Papervision 3D and Caurina Tween library.

After testing Papervision and the Augmented Reality in Flex I have tried it into Flash Cs4 too.
But some weeks ago I also tested Flirt particles system, a cool AS3 library to generate nice particles effects in Papervision 3D.

Solution: Use StyleManager class and setComponentStyle method to set global styles

Reading RSS feeds from Flex or Flash often generate some security issues when the origin domain doesn’t contain a crossdomain.xml file to manage the policy settings.
A little workaround is create a PHP proxy to read the feeds and pass the content to the Flex script.

ActionScript 3.0 doesn’t manage all developers needs, so often they have to use other languages, as JavaScript, to accomplish some operations like open an HTML popup or get the userAgent property, useful to know the user Browser.
The AS3 ExternalInterface class allow to invoke Javascript functions directly from Flash.
Usually these functions are defined inside the HTML page but in this sample we’ll see how to implement them inside an ActionScript class, avoiding to edit HTML code.

In this post I’ll show you how to create a form with a file attachment using Flash CS3/4, ActionScript 3.0 and PHP. The trick is use the FileReference class to upload a file from your own hard disk and at the same time send the input- field values.

In this sample, full-commented, we’ll use the FlashPlayer 10 3D features to display a list of Video Thumbnails enabling the Mouse Click Event to enlarge them changing their z and rotationY properties.
We’ll use Caurina Tween to perform 3d animations, so download them and copy the caurina package in your project folder before test this sample (they are not included inside the source files)

In this post I’ll provide you just a quick way to change a TextField font family at runtime using ActionScript 3.0 and Flash Cs3/4 getting your embedded fonts from the Library .
