Hey everyone,
in the last chapter we made it to load a SWF and unload it on demand. Let’s continue here and imagine that we’re having three SWFs, each of them having some content which should be shown on click. A typical usage would obviously be a Flash Website consisting of multiple SWFs. Read more »

Check Flash Player Version
13th February 2010 Marvin Blase Just a quick snippet to determine the visitor’s Flash Player Version (incl. OS and Version RC) in Actionscript 3. The detailed trace of all information covers Operating System, Major Flash Version and up to the 4th release version, e.g. 10.0.42.34 – the latest release yet.
Actionscript 3 – multiload vs. procedural
12th January 2010 Tobias Oberrauch Recently I’ve benchmarked the difference between a multi- and a procedural-loading. I’ve taken images with a size ranged between 500kb and 1mb. Here are the results…
| files | 10 | 50 | 100 | 250 |
| multiload | 619 ms | 2821 ms | 6253 ms | 17189 ms |
| procedural | 488 ms | 2545 ms | 6153 ms | 16260 ms |
…and here are the source files. The zip file is without any images!
Embedding Flash – XHTML valid and no Javascript!
17th December 2009 Tobias Oberrauch Once again I got in trouble with embedding a flashmovie in html.
This snippet helps you to embed your flash in a crossbrowser-way.
And the clue is - it's javascript free:
CODE:
-
<object data="stage.swf" width="400" height="300" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:400px; height:300px;">
-
<param name="movie" value="stage.swf"/>
-
</object>
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!

AIR2 AND FDT4 (M3) – A DETAILED WALKTHROUGH
Original Post:
Admitting that I was surprised pleasantly that even the official Powerflasher-Blog published an article about compiling AIR projects in FDT 3 I recently started to take the challenge and began with the first steps. Read more »
F*CSS – Finally parsing CSS the right way
22nd September 2009 Marvin Blase TheFlashBum: if you need text you need F*CSS.
Again just a quick post to mention Jesse Freeman's revolutionary CSS-Parsing library. This one allows you to easily access CSS styles from an external .css file in a handy, feeling right way. On the official page he provides a pretty easy-to-use example and of course the library itself. It takes you five minutes to read & understand and will save you probably hours of work in the future.
There you go: F*CSS's official page
FPS, MS and MEM-Stats
9th September 2009 Marvin Blase Mr.Doob's open source class "Hi-ReS! Stats" allows you to easily get these information with only one single-lined code. An awesome class I just wanted to pay tribute to. :)

Thanks!
PHP-Date in Actionscript 3
31st August 2009 Marvin Blase Jochen Hilgers took the trouble once to rewrite the PHP-function date() for Actionscript 3. We just wanted to say thanks and forward the link to his blog so many users will have the pleasure to work with it:
Mousewheel with transparent WMODE
21st August 2009 Marvin Blase When you'll use the transparent WMODE in firefox while embedding flashmovies, the mousewheel ain't triggering in flash anymore. This is a short workaround showing how you'll still be able to use it anyway.
