The DisplacementMapFilter is a filter that uses one bitmap to operate on another. The former bitmap is commonly called the . . . → Read More: Psyark’s DisplacementMapFilter Tutorial

There’s a thriving community of photographers producing interactive 360° panoramas. Some cool immersive galleries are at panoviews.com and panoramas.dk.

Panographers are always interested in new ways to present the experience over the web. Currently the main vehicles are implemented in Java (e.g. PTViewer) or QuickTime (QTVR). There is also some use of Shockwave . . . → Read More: Prospects for Immersive Panoramas in Flash

… at least on my system. This past week I decided to upgrade my flocking simulation project to use the Flash 8 Point class. I had a 2D coordinate class, as I’m sure many people do, and I expected I’d retire it. But it turned out that changing over to flash.geom.Point slowed the . . . → Read More: The flash.geom.Point Class is Slow

I’d been meaning to implement tooltips in my current project for a while, and this got me going. But you know I always prefer to do it in code that I . . . → Read More: I Gotcha ToolTip Right Heah

In looking for ways to avoid Macromedia’s V2 user-interface components without writing my own, I’ve started using the FIS Components that come with the book Flash MX for Interactive Simulation by Jonathan Kaye and David Castillo. They are light-weight, good-looking, and smooth. The simple user-interface components include:

FISLamp: Simple indicator lamp
FISButton: Simple button
FISButtonToggle: Simple toggle . . . → Read More: Using the FIS Components
