Getting back into Flash with AS3
Posted on Jul 2, 2008 by
Paul WhiteIts been a while since I have played around with
flash. I am finally
getting around to building a new portfolio website for whitesites.com.
The current one gets the job done, but my potential clients aren't
really given any taste of my
flash skills. Even though my current
skill set could help build a very nice website, there are few things I
specifically wanted to utilize in my new website. The main one being
the use of 3D.
Flash as a stand alone package does not support 3D.
If you want 3D you are left to program your own 3D engine using
actionscript. If you aren't a fan of Trig it could cause you some
stress. Thankfully there is an open source class called Sandy 3D,
designed to run on
Flash AS2 and AS3. This gives developers a very
easy way to integrating 3D into their
Flash Apps. Since AS3 is the
latest and greatest to come out of Adobe, I will put my focus on
catching up to learn it. AS3 is a true Object Oriented
Programming
Language. I am used to working with alot of C# in my
asp.net Apps, so
learning AS3 should be that bad. But considering how intense it could
be, I might actually buy a book on the subject.
