http://labs.vizar.de/blog Vizar Laboratorien Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:48:45 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Because of that comment were i was asked if the papercube will be run without Flex but also with XML-files, so i looked what is the difference between Flex Datahandling and pure AS3-Datahandling with XML. There is no big difference. Of course the Main-Classes (Document-Classes) can't extend the UIComponent-Class and ... http://labs.vizar.de/blog/2008-07-10/papercube-without-flex-and-only-pure-as3/ Yes, it's true my favourite 3D-Engine Five3D is now competing with bitmaps and videos. All you need to do this is grabbing the new 2.1 Package of Five3D and if you plan to build some crazy apps with Flex you have to include the Flash CS3-Classes into your Flex Build ... http://labs.vizar.de/blog/2008-07-08/five3d-is-now-managing-bitmaps/ Hola, a few weeks ago, Mathieu Badimon published the AS3 Version of his incredible 3D-API FIVe3D and i decided to play a little with it. The demos that Badimon posted in his Lab are really stunning and when i first saw these amazing vector-driven pearls of modern flash-design, i couldnt close ... http://labs.vizar.de/blog/2008-05-12/first-steps-with-five3d/ Good morning, instead of chilling in the sun, i decided to refactor the PaperCube. In that version, you could load videos and bitmaps at runtime, driven by a XML-File. Note: In some cases (i didn't had the time to inspect the code), there is a bitmap error( ArgumentError: Error #2015: ... http://labs.vizar.de/blog/2008-04-28/papercube-loading-videos-and-bitmap-at-runtime-with-papervision3d/ Ok, not that new but i think why not share that experiment. Again it`s based by a PV3D-Flash App coded by Lee Brimelow It show how to integrate a bitmap into the Flex Framework - I like it more to code AS3 in Flex because it`s so intuitive to extend the ... http://labs.vizar.de/blog/2008-04-01/papergrid-get-more-into-pv3d-and-flex/ Moin,moin influenced by the one an only Lee Brimelow , who made a demo using the Great White Repository of Papervision 2.0, in which he gave interactivity for MovieClips, i tried to make the same with a Flex based application. It`s not that easy, than it is in a Flash ... http://labs.vizar.de/blog/2008-04-01/papercube-how-to-use-moviematerial-in-a-flex-app/ Today i've played a little bit with Arthus Debert's BulkLoader and put it together in a really simple Flex-Application. It does nothing more than loading content in a streamlined form, so the perfomance for asset-overheaded applications should be better. Next time i give Donovan Adams QueueLoader a try. ItemLoader.as package loading { import ... http://labs.vizar.de/blog/2007-12-20/flexbulkloader/ In Germany there is a tradition, that you get some goodies in form of an calendar and i had the time to experiment with Tink's FlexPapervisionEffects. Next year i'm gonna take that thing to another level and fill some life in this app. http://labs.vizar.de/advent (Because 'im a smart developper view ... http://labs.vizar.de/blog/2007-12-20/adventskalender/
