Flattr Invitation-Codes
7th July 2010 Marvin Blase I’ve registered myself at Flattr yesterday and therefor got some (I think there are three..) Invitation-Codes left. Whoever is interested just drop me a comment. The more people it use the more useful it becomes, so don’t shy to try (wow, MC beautify is here.. :))
Trying to get back to business
7th July 2010 Marvin Blase 
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?
26th February 2010 Marvin Blase 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)
15th January 2010 Marvin Blase 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 :)

Gordon – An open source Flash runtime written in JavaScript
14th January 2010 Marvin Blase Tobias Schneider also known as Tobey Tailor published his Flash runtime engine, written in Javascript. On the related article he provides 3 great examples. Get in touch with this great project.
Merry ChristmARs!
16th December 2009 Marvin Blase 
Another project left my table and this time it’s an Augmented Reality one, namely the Christmas Card by DER PUNKT gmbh. Many of you (to be honest me as well) don’t like AR for it’s uselessness but I think this one checks at least cute and is worth a view. Behind the scenes Away3D, 3D Studio Max and FLARToolkit were used (instead of the usual PV3D-AR-App). Read more »
FDT Bloggers | A List at Hawaii Flasher User Group
20th November 2009 Marvin Blase Just a quick-post introducing the Hawaii Flash User Group which started a list with Blogs dealing with Powerflasher’s FDT. Besides it covers some cool topics about changing FDT’s Skin, Splashscreen, etc. – as well as some walkthroughs for installing and setting it up.
If you’re blogging about FDT as well just leave a comment on this site:

Cheers and thanks to John for his effort.
Sparkasse Karlsruhe – Virtual 3D Fly-Through
17th November 2009 Marvin Blase 
Just released and worth a look: Karlsruhe’s Sparkasse near Europaplatz lets their customers experience their office in a virtual 3D Fly-Through. Developed with different helperclasses for controlling and hotspot-management, a self-written caching-system, 3D Studio Max and Flash CS4. There is only a German version available but it should be pretty self-explaining.
JActionScripters’ latest wonder: SiON Synthesizer
8th October 2009 Marvin Blase Currently there are several brilliant guys working on different sound-modification libs/scripts in Actionscript 3. Lee Brimelow and André Michelle came up with some pretty cool examples some weeks ago and as I am working with Synths in my band I’m always pretty interested in the techniques my modulars (Kaoss Pad #3) are using. Anyway, I recently checked the JActionScripters-Blog and whether believed my eyes or my ears. These AS-Devils released their SiON synthesizer, which provides awesome synth-sounds and is even pretty usable. Here’s just my tribute to them!
Go check it out and spread it to the world!
