Adobe Director 11

I noticed a little google adsense ad, announcing Adobe Director 11. Wow, I so thought Director was going to die. I didn't even see this announced on Adobe's homepage. I had to dig fairly deep to find it. It was buried deep in the products section under the all products drop down. Director was in heavy use back in the day, but I haven't touched that app since 2000.

FFilmation: AS3 Isometric Engine

Bryan Veloso has create FFilmation, an AS3 Isometric engine that he says he will be realeasing as open source! Read the highlighted features on the page, I especially like "Basic AI API helpers such as “is character A visible from character B’s position ?”". Very ill.

AIR Cairngorm

Eric Feminella has got a post on his blog about his integration of Cairngorm with AIR. I used Cairngorm with AIR for flossy. I really like how he setup the services for SQL and the File system. He also got the AIR-cairgen working with it too. The man is a genius!

FlossyFX v2 Beta 1

So one day at work one of the designers showed me FlossyFX v1.5. He asked if it was possible to add a few features like drag and drop samples or keep the application always on top.

Once he said that I thought, "Well I can do that with Adobe's AIR!" So he got me in contact with DJ Autobot from Flosstradamus, the creator of FlossyFX and we got to work.

A few weeks later we now have FlossyFX v2 beta 1! Click on the AIR Badge installer below. Click here to download FlossyFX manually.

Here's what's new:

Thinner
Flossy is now slimmer so that is fits nice while running Serato.

Always on top
One of the most requested features! Now Flossy will always stay on top! No need to alt tab to find it anymore. Just click on the application to activate it!

Drag and Drop
You can drag your mp3 samples from Serato straight on to a key in Flossy!

Multiple Fire
Activate multiple sounds by turning the Multiple fire switch or holding the shift key down!

Save and Load .ffx
Once you have custom samples inside FlossyFX you can save a reference of the files to load in later!

100 Calories Pack

I thought I would put up some of my other recent projects that I worked on here at the Fish. So here is 100 Calorie Packs site. It's small but also using SWFAddress. Barkley Anderson hooked up the animation. Very elegant flow.

TrailMixCrunch

We just launched the Trail Mix Crunch website. I added some deep linking using SWFAddress. Check out the animations made by Andrew Seay. Very cool stuff.
