Flash Player 8 Public Beta

Posted on by

Macromedia has released a Beta version of their flash player. The newest player has version number 8 and is a public beta release.

Here you can get the player for testing it.

This is the first sign that the new flash authoring enviroment, 8Ball will be released soon. My anticipation is getting greater than great;), because the new flash version has included filter and some other useful features for designers. I also hope that Action Script 2 will get an update and some new classes and components.

Add: Flash and dynamic backends

Posted on by

From the german publisher Galileo there is a book available which is very good to start into this complex and roomily theme.

Recension:

Die ersten drei Teile des Buchs führen in die Thematik PHP, MySQL und XML ein und bieten zusätzliche Verweise sowie Vor- und Rückgriffe. Das erlernte Wissen ist dann im vierten Teil gefragt: im praktischen Workshop kommen alle Elemente zum Zuge.

Hier zeigt sich, dass sich das Flash-Format mittlerweile nicht nur zur Darstellung von Animationen und Comics eignet, sondern auch für komplexe Infografiken und datenbankgestützte Anwendungen.

Flash and dynamic backends

Posted on by

Do you ever had to do a frontend programing with flash when there was a powerful CMS behind. No?

You lucky one ;)

Flash and dynamic content is a very difficult and complex theme. Maybe some of you know flash remoting. There are currently 2 possibilities. One is the proprietary one from Macromedia(soon Adobe ;(); with the Flash Communication Server, and the open source alternative AMFPHP.

The AMFPHP project exists for a long time, but then the early developers seemed to be uninterested in further developement. But two or three months ago i read an article that the project will we resumed.

An now here is AMFPHP 1.0 Milestone 2 alpha release ;) . The project is hosted by sourceforge.net. It looks promising.

Design Pattern: Singelton

Posted on by

Today i wanna demonstrate how to implement a Singelton with Action Script 2.
[as]
class at.pics.core.AnimationService implements Functionality {
// attributes
private static var _instance:AnimationService;
// constructor
private function AnimationService() {
}
// getInstance method
public static function getInstance():AnimationService {
if(!_instance) _instance = new AnimationService();
return _instance;
}
[/as]

As you can see is the constructor marked with a private statement. If you wanna access the Class via

[as]var inst:AnimationService = new AnimationService();[/as]

you will get an error.

The singelton pattern is nearly equal to a static class. But there are some advantages. Inside the Class you can use normal members and not static. You are able to create instances in every other class, and the biggest advantage at least, a Singelton is much more stable than flash itselfs static classes are.

First step of reconfiguration is done

Posted on by

After the database crash last week i have made several changes to the server configuration. I have updated backup routines and installed a newer version of the open source cms Typo3. Current version is now 3.8.0.

I have also started to upload the templates for the new Portfolio website, where you can get all information about me and my work. I think i will finish it in one or two weeks, because i have to do some research about myself ;) .

On root of my domains Impossiblearts.com and Alpenstudio.com i have made a splash screen, so you can anticipate how the new look will be.

Stay tuned

Bergauer.cc

Posted on by

For my company, the P.I.C.S. Gmbh i have to made a frontend programing for the website of a famous austrian photografer.

Joachim Bergauer has done works for Austrian, German and American applicants.

The design already exists and so i have to give a little bit more action into the frontend. But there is also a backend part, my abandonment is it to enable an easy XML-based interface for the backend CMS.
