FDT QuickFix Templates for Flint Particle System

I've just started working with the great Flint Particle System and am already too lazy to always write down it's Constructors, as you can imagine when seeing the following:

Actionscript:
  1. var lZone:LineZone = new LineZone(new Point(5, 10), new Point(40, 30));

Phew.. :) These Zone-Constructors have made my fingers hurt, so I wrote them down as Templates for FDT. I am totally sure there will be more of them very soon as I continously will learn more usages, so sometimes this article will be pushed to the top of the index. Now you know. Besides I am trying to publish a Project Template for FDT4 with some of Flint's basic setups soon. Aiden Tailor has already made a Tutorial on this topic.

My daily use of Assets in FDT

Hey,
yesterday I had to explain to someone why and how to use Assets in Powerflasher's FDT. I thought of summing it up to show how I (almost daily) deal with that topic.

For those not knowing: When talking of Assets I mean Classes & Symbols which are exported to a SWC file from Adobe Flash itself and then used as a Linked Library in FDT - I know this term might not be 100% precise but I'm used to it, I just claim it's a proper name because of it's capital A. :) These Assets can be fonts, audio files, videos, bitmaps and of course DisplayObjects. The advantage of using Assets on the one hand is that you do not have to use Embed-Tags to include media files or fonts - as long as they are supposed to be compiled with the project and not loaded on runtime. On the other hand you can export animated clips from the Flash IDE and then add them to your stage and set up your code in FDT. You can even nest clips into another and still refer to them.

FDT – Seeing no Traces in Console

Hey,
just a quick note for everybody (and I know there are lots of you) who's not seing traces in FDT. This mainly depends on a missing Adobe Flash Debug Player for your system. So grab it there: Adobe Flash Player - Downloads. It's the Content Debugging one. After the install (and if I remember correctly reboot @Windows) you should see traces in FDT, for sure just as being compiled for debugging.

Btw.: The shortcut for "Debug as FDT Application" is STRG+ALT+D .. wait .. M.

FDT Quicktip #1 – Quickfix with Methodparams

This one's about pressing CTRL+1 when passing Objects to a param. Just let FDT itself add the private var, assigning the param to it and auto-import instantly. Brilliant!

FDT – HowTo Debug in Browers

Hey everybody out there! This is a brandnew and awesome tip for everybody working with Powerflasher's FDT 3. As everybody knows FDT has built in a pretty neat debugger with cool features like Breakpoints, realtime variable watching, etc. - But all that is (as it is usually) limited to the Environment itself. That means if you're testing your SWF in a Browser (embedded) you'll lose all these features. But here's a great way to still get all these realtime information while watching the movie in the browser. Read more »
