I just finished going through this tutorial by Dave Keen – an Action Script developer from the UK. I think it makes for a great introduction to PureMVC.
PureMVC Tutorial – Flex, PureMVC, Jabber and XIFF 3: Introduction:
http://www.actionscriptdeveloper.co.uk/puremvc-tutorial-flex-puremvc-jabber-and-xiff-3-introduction/
Another PureMVC based AS3 site up. Check out the deep-linking. I think I might have gone a step too far!
UPDATE: SWFAddress and FireFox 3 on Mac OS X Bug – I’m aware of the nasty white-flash bug with the site, but don’t have access to the source at the moment to fix it.
Aha! Finally. Time for my first tutorial: Getting up and running with FlashDevelop3.
Firstly, FlashDevelop 3 only runs on Windows XP/Vista, and requires the .NET 2 runtime. Additionally, to compile AS3 code you will need the Java 1.6 runtime and the Adobe Flex SDK. Ok, let’s go!
Another portfolio website I built for a friend. It uses a similar engine to the website I built for Maciek, but this time makes use of PureMVC and has a JavaScript hack to make the mouse-wheel work on Mac OS X.
My first project using the PureMVC framework and SWFAddress (for deep-linking). Oh, and using an old version of Papervision3D.
Word up! As in.. WordPress up and running!
So, my plan is to throw up some tutorials here. The kind that would have helped me a bunch when I started on my journey into OO flash development.
I want to cover FlashDevelop, Tweener, Papervision3D and PureMVC amongst other flash/web related things.
I’m also going to use this site as a portfolio of sorts. When I get the time I’m going to look into building a flash portfolio that uses this site as it’s CMS.
Cow was one of the first ActionScript3 projects that I developed at HelloComputer. Built with FlashDevelop and compiled with the free Flex2 SDK Compiler. Fully content manageable. Look out for my exploding dandelions, and touchy butterflies.
ps. the site is designed for hi-resolution (1280 x 1024 and up), but works at the standard 1024 rez.
A competition microsite for Shell VPower Diesel. The track was modelled in 3dStudio Max, and exported directly to a Papervision3D class with the handy AS3 Geom Class Exporter plugin.
