Simple Transparent AIR desktop ... thing

I read all those news about Adobe AIR and I check out new applications, even use few of them right now, but I haven't done much AIR coding myself. I wanted to change this sad fact and make my own 'hello world' AIR app, something very basic.My reference was Adobe AIR for JavaScript developers, pocket guide. In this book, there is an example for hello world app using html page as content, but instead I wanted to include one of my previously made SWF files as main content, Windmill Simulation. Just as a test I'll take transparent background, so I (translate)

AS3.0 preloader part II : adding transparency

It occurred to me how it would be much better if loading bar and text field in as3.0 preloader from previous post change alpha during loading process. This is what I wanted to do: both elements (loading bar and text field) start with alpha zero, then it grows constantly to alpha 1 in a moment when 'percent' variable is 0.2 (which means loading bar is loaded 20%). After that alpha remains 1.0 until 'percent' is 0.8 and then starts to fade away so it has alpha 0.0 in a moment when loading is finished. Image explains this idea.Code for this (translate)

AS3.0 Flash Preloader With Moving TextField

This simple ActionScript3.0 preloader has two graphic elements, gradient filled loading bar and text field 'loadedTF'. Code contains two functions, progressFunction and completeFunction. Variable named 'percent' inside progressFunction can have values between 0.0 and 1.0. Since loading bar graphic width = 300 we use single line code:loadedTF.x = percent * 300;to move our text field along with loading bar, which we animate using scaleX property.Dummy page.swf which this preloader uses is small only 22kb, so in order to see preloader working you will have to use view - simulate download when you test preloader movie.If you have any questions, leave (translate)

Level Timer code explained

It seems like my code in How To Create Flash Game Level Timer post is not as straightforward as I thought, because it was rejected as Tutorial on one of the directories, so I decided to give detailed explanation of it. var count:Number = 0;// this is a counter variablevar maxCount:Number = 75;// maxCounter is duration of level in secondsvar intervalID:Number;// Identification variable for repeating interval functionvar timerStarted = false;// variable which tells us if timer has started or notvar temp:Number;// variable for shortening code writing// next, we format and display seconds left if(maxCount < 60) {// if we have (translate)

Protecting The Brand

Few days ago Envato (Australia based startup) announced they have to change one of theirs marketplace's name and URL. They run several websites like ThemeForest, GraphicRiver, AudioJungle, VideoHive, FlashDen and more. Latest one FlashDen is our suspect. What happend is that Adobe Systems Incorporated law firm representative contacted them asking to change their name, as TechCrunch reported. Envato did changed it into ActiveDen to avoid further legal problems.There are few very strange things here. First, FlashDen is already registered trademark in Australia from August 2008 and therefor Envato should be protected by law, but they decided to change their name (translate)
