  • Framelabel Panel by Tony

    Homeskillet Tony MacDonell @ <a href=”http://www.teknision.com/”>Teknision.com</a> made this phat little Flash Panel using JSAPI to jump between frame labels in a Flash movie, very similiar to the Scene panel, but this one you can use without feeling dirty!

    <a href=”http://www.teknision.com/preview/framelabels.mxp”>http://www.teknision.com/preview/framelabels.mxp</a>

    Some suggestions I made were:
    – provide an error for duplicate frame labels
    – differentiate either via different listboxes or an icon if it’s a label, anchor, or comment

  • Lord of the Rings: Return of the King – It rocked

    Yup.

    My favorite line(s):

    “That still only counts as one!”

    “One attempt to make, zero chance of success… what are we waiting for!?”

    “An elf going underground and a dwarf too afraid to do so… I’d never hear the end of it.”

  • Learn Flash via aSH’ Def List

    Homey G cross da sea has created the Definitive List which, “is a listing of tutorials, tips and articles on Flash MX 2004 and ActionScript 2.0.
    Kind of “aggregator” of good stuff on Flash MX 2004 and ActionScript 2.0. This aggregation or listing is manual, that means that what you find in The Definitive List has been selected by the site admin or the moderators.”

    Comes with a forum as well as community submitted links to other tutorials and links. What seperates it from <a href=”http://www.flashkit.com/”>Flashkit</a> or <a href=”http://www.were-here.com/”>were-here</a> is that aSH’ primary goal, at least from what I got from talking to him and reading his FAQ is that it’s an aggregator for tutorials and tips. It will, however, I’m sure have the community aspect being very much related. By empowering other developers with the common vision of consolidating their tutorials and help into one place, hopefully it’ll draw in the people who actually read the manuals and tutorials rather than just go to a forum to get a quick fix. If not, the place crawls with easy links RTFM smack downs, so hopefully it’ll be a self-correcting process. Great potential.

    At any rate, if you want to learn Flash, check it out. If you know Flash, submit some stuff you know already so that others may benefit by simply submitting or starting your own forum. More info on how to do that there.
