A look into Action Script 3

May 30th, 2007 by awesty

I haven’t done any tutorials for AS (Action script) 3 yet, but I thought it was about time I did. This is a very simple tutorial that will determine which key is being pressed. Obviously you must have Flash CS3.

First of all open a new flash document.

Select an AS 3 Flash Document

Open the actions panel (F9 or Window>Actions) and enter the following code.

For some reason the main page displays the really old one from the original free host AwestyProductions was hosted on. That means you won’t be able to see this post. But if you can, congratulations.

These guys have made a robotic arm that is controlled by a Nintendo Wii remote. It can play tennis… and swing a sword. Here is a video.

Making a Fluid Width XHTML/CSS Template

May 23rd, 2007 by awesty

In this tutorial we will make a fluid width (which means it will resize depending on the size of the window and the screen resolution) web template with valid XHTML and valid CSS. So that means no tables, sorry guys :P .

You can see an example here. It looks best in Firefox, but it still works in IE. If you do not have firefox I strongly recommend you get it.

I get sick of writing tutorials all the time and the more I write the harder it becomes for me to think of a new one, especially on the first day back at school after the weekend. So I thought that every Monday I will put up a video that I thought was funny or cool to cheer up everyones day :D .

This video is amazing. It is one of the best stop motion videos I have ever seen.

Making a wrap around effect

May 18th, 2007 by awesty

I am assuming that you have a basic knowledge of flash so I won’t be going into to much detail about the Movieclips and other graphical stuff.

Here is an example of what we will be making.

Arrow Keys to move, Internet Explorer users will need to click on it for it to work.
