Me & My Music – stereoleben

date January 17th, 2012 user Marvin Blase

Hey everybody,
this is kinda off-topic but as it’s directly related to me I thought of sharing it anyways. It’s about me and my music – as some of you might know I’m in an electronic rock band called most wanted monster. You can catch us whereever you want to. However, besides this I’ve started to make my own music somewhat more public and set up a Facebook page and uploaded my first video. If anyone is interested in it, please like or share it – otherwise just forget about it :) I hopefully will come back to topic with the next post.

Here’s my latest work, a remix of Ellie Goulding’s “Writer”:

I hope some of you like it. If so, feel free to like me on Facebook:

Flash Mobile died. So what?

date November 9th, 2011 user Marvin Blase

Today Adobe has published a pressrelease in which they announce to stop the development for Flash in mobile browsers. And again, these discussions start all over again. Was Steve Jobs right? Will Flash now completely die? Has HTML5 finally won?

For me, Adobe‘s decision is completely right. Because: What was the benefit of Flash being displayed in mobile browsers? Every Flash in the WWW was optimized for mouse input and desktop performance. Only a few Flash developers on earth did change their Flash movies or – which is standard for HTML elements already – provide a mobile version of it. Personally, I’ve never seen any embedded Flash which was optimized for my mobile browser – they’re most likely simply scaled down and in most cases ran poorly. Besides I feel like half of them are ads and 30% are animations no one needs. Complex web apps still needed a lot of optimization for mobile devices. And if you’re going for that way, why not do it right and use the benefits of Adobe AIR and it’s mobile packagers? Read more »

FDT5: From Scratch to Device in less than 4min

date October 22nd, 2011 user Marvin Blase

FDT5 Mobile Workflow
It’s saturday noon and I’ve got an FDT5 Prerelease version installed (thanks again to Powerflasher). And as I’m about to do some iOS & Adobe AIR performance tests I’m in need of an app.. obviously. So, wouldn’t it be nice to directly check out the new mobile workflow in FDT? It could cost me a lot of time if it’s failing, though. However, I’m pretty sure they’ve tested it once or twice before finally releasing it on October 26! So, whatever you’re going to read from now on can be done by yourself from Wednesday on – because FDT5 will be free.

This article covers some of my latest works and my progress with Adobe AIR and iOS devices.

A bit about FDT4 Color Themes

date February 22nd, 2011 user Marvin Blase

Custom Theme for FDT4For all you guys out there who feel like me and are somewhat sick of the default Eclipse color theme: There has been released some kind of easy-to-go plugin which lets you quickly change the theme in Eclipse and therefore FDT4 as well. Furthermore you can directly chose between some good pre-defined templates or those, which are free to download.

So, basically all you got to do is following three simple steps.

  • In Eclipse go to Help → Install New Software…, and add a new site with the URL:
    http://eclipse-color-theme.github.com/update. Then select this new entry and install it.
  • Download a template of your choice from http://www.eclipsecolorthemes.org
  • In Eclipse go to Window → Preferences → General → Appereance → Color Theme and select the theme you’ve just downloaded. You have to do some fine tuning with AS3/Flex syntax highlighting but feel free to drop a comment if you do not find the setting you’re looking for. Some are a bit hidden.

Thumbnail Gallery with Milkbox support

date January 27th, 2011 user Marvin Blase

An endlessly repeating thumbnail panel with Milkbox support and easy to use? Yes! As I previously posted something about Inertia-Movements I (and some people who have mailed me – thanks for that) had the idea to continue this article and show an example of the repeating thumbnails. The code (for repositioning the thumbnails) is not as easy to understand as the movement itself so I decided to write an own article for it. Furthermore I am working with Milkbox at the moment so I thought of integrating it to that panel as well. In the end I came up with a this pretty long article showing all the code and files needed to realise the example above. Another little feature you might have seen is, that the Flash is informed about when the Milkbox is closed. This will be one topic in the article as well.

How to upload a Webcam image to your server

date January 19th, 2011 user Marvin Blase

I know what you’re thinking. Not again one of these Webcam server articles.. and you’re right! I thought the same and decided to quit any upcoming search for this topic and write a 100% working solution by myself.

Lately I was having some troubles with saving an image sent from Flash to my server. I found a lot about sending the BitmapData to a PHP file and then (god knows why..) directly navigate to this URL, so PHP displays the image in the browser as a JPG-Stream. I really took some time to think about any scenario when this could be useful but yea.. anyways, I needed to save my bitmaps on the server and each file has to have a unique filename. So each time I press “Save” in my Flash-Application an image is uploaded to my server.

Auto Flash Class Panel by @matanube

date December 9th, 2010 user Marvin Blase

Today Matan Uberstein has released his new version of Auto Flash Class Panel. You can find a nice little introduction video tutorial in his blogarticle, so make sure to check it out.

Class and package names are generated form your library folder structure. With one simple click your library is ready for export. Saves you the effort of right clicking on the library item going to properties, ticking the ‘export’ checkbox and typing in the package/class name.

Version 2 is packed with a rich interface split into two sections, namely: Selector and Classer. The Selector section automatically selects all the library items that match your criteria. Choose from MovieClips, Bitmaps, Sounds, Fonts or Buttons. Once you are happy with your selection of library items, you simply use the Classer section to automatically insert class, base class and tick the ‘export’ checkbox.
