Who doesn’t know SWFObject & SWFAddress? These two JavaScript buddies are the best a serious Flash Developer can have.
SWFObject embeds your Flash nicely and browser independent, it has gone a long way and now it’s even the default publishing method in Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst (not sure about Flash CS5 ), you can read a more detailed history on the projects history site.
SWFAddress is a small library that provides deep-linking functionality in your Flash projects, it enables you to create unique virtual URL’s which enables Search Engines to index your flash content and of course the utilisation of the browsers back and forward buttons eg. history capabilities. » Read more…
During the last project I worked on for ChocolatFrey I had a small problem that was bugging me. with the help of our inhouse stagemanager class where you can define minimum width & height of the stage the flash website always looked good, but as sson as the screen was smaller then the minimum defined width & height it broke the layout.
After a few minutes of searching I found this awesome little JavaScript called SWFFit it resizes the flash movie based on the minimum dimensions set.
The usage of it is let’s say SIMPLE!! Even if you didn’t really care about JS, you can easily understand how it works, this is a simple example of how to use it:
The Open Source Media Framework went live a few weeks ago with it’s first release 1.0, I already worked with various sprint versions of it, and lately created a final project using OSMF.
Something that I was missing was the capability of displaying a Sprite or Text Element inside a Serial- or Parallel-Element.
So I’ve wrote a simple class named “InteractiveDisplayObjectElementt” that will handle this need: » Read more…
Yay! the open source media framework just went into production release 1.0.
I’ve been working with the early betas of OSMF and it just rocks to see such a project going into production state, Flash developers need to constantly build audio/videoplayers ranging from simple video playback to very complex situations like playing multiple video formats with multiple lengths while keeping it dynamic, using posterframes, prerolls, in-video advertisement and much much more, either you developed your own media player framework to cope with the needs or you had to build your play from the groundup everytime you got such a request. With OSMF you have a stable framework that allows you to create mediaplayers quick and easy but also fully customizable.
