for a recent project (that almost cost me my sanity) I came to re-open illustrator. I hadn’t for years.
it’s really a great soft btw one of my favorite with fireworks.
can’t remember since when it features that very cool ‘custom stroke’ thing.
you draw something and then choose some shape for the the stroke.
you can even draw your own shapes.
so last friday I told myself why not trying it in flash and off I went.

FLVSlicer allows you to extract a "slice" of an FLV at runtime, but also merge multiple slices if you need to. The library may be really useful if you want to get a specific part from an FLV with no server involved. Ley's say for instance that you are looking for a specific text content in a video and you would like to save it on your hard disk or post it on youtube.

SilverX supports all basic Flash features: vector primitives, images, texts and animations, so almost all Flash movie resources get accurately converted to Silverlight.

The Collision Detection Kit is a package of classes created for pixel-precise, shape-based collision detection for all display objects. It is written in Actionscript 3.0 and meant for Flash Player version 9 and higher. The Collision Detection Kit comes with several features to control how collisions are detected, and provides data for the user of the class so they can do something about the collision:

We often have the problem of sequencing animations and events, e.g. 1. close all windows, 2. move somewhere else, 3. open windows.

To make our lives a little bit easier I was looking for a simple class that we can use to sequence those tasks. I looked around but couldn't find anything that was small, simple to fit our needs. So I wrote one called SimpleSequencer.

Tweensy is an extremely efficient Actionscript 3 property tweener. Contained within Tweensy is an expansion package called Tweensy FX which allows for motion effects to be applied onto DisplayObjects.

VizualPV3D is a Flash Visualization Application that provides a GUI interface to create and manipulate objects in 3D scenes using Papervision3D.

A* is a state change optimization algorithm. It looks at a system in its current state and determines the lowest cost series of state changes needed to arrive at a target end state. Most commonly A* is used for pathfinding. I have never seen A* used for anything but pathfinding, but you could use it to do things like solve a Rubik's cube or a picture slider puzzle.
