Me & My Music – stereoleben

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?

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

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.

iPads, iPhones, Androids and Adobe AIR

Title Image
As I’ve mentioned the last couple of months have been very quiet here. I don’t want to excuse or even explain myself but tell you what happened in these months. And one thing for sure, my Flash heart is still bleeding.

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

Auto Flash Class Panel by @matanube

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.

Trying to get back to business

Go to Productfinder

Hey everyone,
long time no hear – but there were some very busy weeks which kept me from anything concerning Twitter, Blogging, etc. But now as some projects have been finished I’ll try to get back to business, starting with a new blog design at first :) For those interested what I’ve been working on, here’s a small excerp:

  • Agilent Productconfigurator
    A huge Pure AS3 application based on a config.xml which covers all filtering and setups them – and a modules.xml which carries all information about the systems and modules. It is written a way the client can customize every filter, every setup, every module. From declaring wether it should be a checkbox-filtering or a slider up to the modules’ tooltips. It has been realised with RobotLegs and FDT and I’m proud I’m able to say “This is a clean App!”, even after about 60 classes.
  • Dynamic Gallery for Hugo Boss
    An XML-Based, infinite loop panel using gallery with SWFAddress and a little backend.
  • QuickAnalyser & WebApp for MunichRe
    The WebApp is realised with many assets, FDT and a lot of timeline tweening. The Quick Analyser is based on an Excel Parser to XML, then some mindfreaking algorithms to get proportions of each year and value.
  • NoteToMyself
    This is a small WebApp by myself for mainly just storing passing-by-information. It works with SharedObjects as well as with Databases (if you are interested in an Account just drop a comment). So whenever I write down a note at home (while being logged in) I can quickly check it up in agency as well. I know there are many, many services doing so. But having fun with RobotLegs and some cool ideas made me write it by myself.
  • A dynamic gallery with Ken Burns Effect
  • Some Coverflows based on Typo3 data, customizable from the backend
  • Many tests with bitmapdatas and pixeltransformations

Furthermore I’ve been asked to go for some Articles on Tutspluts which I surely will do soon. As said, I hope there is a bit more time now.

So long, hope you like the new design :)

So Germans don’t like Chrome / Safari?

We recently checked the latest 1000 visitors’ Browser (on each domain) and found out, that Germans tend to use the Firefox instead of using Safari or Chrome. Here’s the result:

Beautify Code Firefox IE 7+8 Safari Chrome
.de 71,4% 9,6% 9,3% 5,5%
.com 57% 7,8% 16% 16%

So what we can see is that international visitors are using alternative Browsers more often than our German visitors do.

Does anyone got an idea why? :)

Must Visit AS3 Events & Conferences (#as3mustvisit)

Hey everyone,
we (@hfug and @beautifycode) just thought of a calendar which shows every Actionscript- Event/Conference/Meeting worth visiting in 2010. Whenever you know anything you can simply post it via Twitter the following way (e.g. FFK10):

13.04 – 16.04 FFK10 in Cologne, Germany #as3mustvisit

and we’ll add it (later surely automatically) to the calendar. The more people adding dates the more events will become well visited. So don’t shy to tweet :)
