Anyone tuning into the live stream of the Flash Games Summit today got some great news! Adobe's new 3D API for Flash, Molehill, is going to be available from Adobe Labs today! In addition to this, the major 3D platforms including Alternativa3D and Away3D will be releasing their Molehill-powered code at the same time! The release occurs at 10:00 AM PST. (more...)
When you're working with JSFL, you may notice that Flash doesn't always provide the most useful error messages. Many times when a JSFL error occurs, Flash spits out this message: "The following Javascript error(s) occurred: "
It then displays exactly nothing. (more...)
With the recent IE 9 release candidate, Microsoft has fixed the issue I mentioned earlier where it was not possible to send data from JavaScript into Flash via ExternalInterface calls. The new version of the browser earns passing marks on my IE 9 test page. You can grab the IE 9 RC1 right here.
Adobe has officially released Flash Player 10.2. The new player is no longer in beta and improves performance and video with the new Stage Video api which utilizes GPU acceleration.
If you're interested in learning more about Stage Video, Lee Brimelow has a nice introduction tutorial on it here.
I'm very pleased to announce the release of my first iPhone application: Cherry Picker iOS! This is a port of a game I wrote quite some time ago and it was pretty interesting redoing it for the iPhone. I learned a lot about mobile development and it was fun finding ways to optimize the game to run on the hardware. What wasn't fun was trying to figure out Apple's submission process - holy jumpin' that's a production.
Anyway, check the game out; I hope you enjoy it!
