Helen Triolo has written an article showing how to render complex (very complex) SVG drawings in the Flash Player using the ActionScript drawing API.
This is by far the most impressive SVG to Flash Player work I have seen to date, and as you would expect from Helen, it is all documented very well.
As David Burrows pointed out, it is a pretty slow day in the Flash world. Everyone is probably watching the world cup (or sleeping from staying up all night watching it).
In the spirit of Flash and the World Cup, I bring you today’s Macromedia Site of the Day, the 2002 FIFA World Cup Gametracker.
We have released an SDK that allows search engines / developers to parse SWF files and extract text and links.
The Macromedia Flash Search Engine SDK provides a set of object and source code designed to convert a Flash file’s text and links into HTML for indexing. The SDK download contains a C++ application, documentation, and editable source code for system integration into your search engine.*
You can find more information, and download the SDK here.
Branden Hall has put together an SHA1 hash library for ActionScript. This is similar to the MD5 encryption hash, but is generally considered more secure.
You can find more info here.
Btw, I had posted this on Friday, but radio seems to have deleted it.
Martin Wood has put together a tutorial on ServerSide ActionScript showing how to insert data passed from Flash via Flash Remoting into a database.
You can check it out here.
Eric Dolecki has put together a Flash based Pocket PC event guide for Flash Forward. This is sweeet, and includes the following features:
It uses Ant Assist mobile to install it and allow it to work like a standalone Flash projector.
The Flash Forward Film Festival finalists have been announced. Make sure to check them out and vote for your favorites.
Also, there are only a few more days to get the early registration discount.
I am really looking forward to this Flash Forward as it is the first time in New York in a year, and the first since the economy has begun to turn around. Plus, if the past is any indicator, there will probably be some sneak peaks of cool new technologies.
