Se7en Inspired Flash Forward Trailer

I’ve been getting quite a few emails from people wanting to see a good size version of the Flash Forward trailer that I made. Cllick on the image below to see a Quicktime version. Its around 10 megs and is of a decent quality. The actual file I sent was around 50 megs so I don’t think anyone would want to wait that long.

Thanks,

Yet another Flash 8 filter demo

Just using blur and glow in an onEnterFrame with random values. This will be great for scary or horror type stuff! You need Flash Player 8 to view.

Flash 8 Proximity Blur

Woohoo! The blur filter with proximity applied. I’ll never sleep again! (Need Flash 8 beta player)

Flash 8 Drop Shadow Angles

Fun little thing where the drop shadow filters follow the angle of the mouse. (Flash 8 beta player required)

Flash Tooltip Class

Here is another class that I just wrote which creates a tooltip using the drawing API. All you do is create a single instance and then use the “showTip()” method to show it and change the text. You send the fill and stroke colors in hex format to the constructor. See the usage below:

[as]var tt:Tooltip = new Tooltip(0xFFFFEC,0×000000);

butt1.onRollOver = function() {

tt.showTip(“Button 1 Tip”);

}

butt1.onRollOut = function() {

tt.removeTip();

}[/as]

See below for an example:

Flash, TV Themes, and Proximity

I just create a fun little app that allows you to hear the theme music for a bunch of different 80′s sitcoms. The volume of each theme is controlled by the proximity of your mouse to the thumbnail. You can listen to some interesting mixes between themes by going halfway between 2 or 3 shows.

I am going to be uploading a tutorial called “Flash Math 2″ to gotAndLearn() tongiht which shows how to accomplish this type of thing. I hope you enjoy it!.

On a side note, the lower right hand corner doesn’t have a show because of the “8 sounds at a time” issue in Flash. Is there any way around this. I want to have the themes all playing all the time so that there is a constant flow. Any ideas?

Thanks!
