Enjoy!

Today, JActionScripters is out! It's nice way to know what are the Cool Japanese Flash guys doing. More than 20 Japanese Flash coders are sharing it. Here is a quote from the "Welcome to the JActionScripters.com":

Who we are

JActionScripters.com is driven by more than 20 top-notch Japanese Flash developers. Including not just coders, but art directors, designers, and productions, too.

What it is for?

JActionScripters was born to introduce Japanese ActionScript tips, code snippets, open source libraries, and cutting-edge Flash showcases for the Flash geeks all over the world - yup, I mean, YOU!

What you can get from here?

JActionScripters provides you not just ActionScript open source codes, libraries, frameworks, and Flash showcases, but the coolest news about “what’s going on in the Japanese Flash world”, Japanese creative concepts and philosophies, and of course, the zen to everything above.
As we believe, Japan rules. You must already know, as you are already here.

Here is the feed

Of course, I joined it and posted some articles already. Please check out ;)

Today, an alpha version of the BetweenAS3 (rev. 2505), a powerful new tweening engine I'm developing, available in the Wonderfl. There is strong possibility of many fixes and specification changes in the future, but you can try it early. Even now, I always welcome your comments (request, bug report, etc), so please try and tell me!

Then, I've posted some codes.

First, demos:

• Hello, BetweenAS3!
• 20,000 particles with BetweenAS3 - I showed in the FITC

and next, tutorials:

• 1. Simple tweens with BetweenAS3
• 2. Tween parameters with BetweenAS3
• 3. Tween processing with BetweenAS3
• 4. Tween grouping with BetweenAS3
• 5. Tween controlling with BetweenAS3
• 6. Filter tween with BetweenAS3
• 7. Action integration with BetweenAS3
• Misc. ColorTransform tween with BetweenAS3

I found a user used it immediately. Thank you!

Usually, I don't have any aim, but this year, I'm going to achieve these.

Today, I talked about "Learn mechanism of the Flash by swfassist" (swfassist is library to generate swf binary dynamically on ActionScript3) at the SAKATOKU Conference.

Here is slide (Sorry, It was written in Japanese):

• http://www.be-interactive.org/works/20080126/swfassist.pdf

In the first half, I explained the slide. In the last half, I explained the following two demos.

Demo1

• http://swfassist.libspark.org/svn/as3/trunk/samples/demo20080116/bin/SwfassistDemo.air

This is AIR application. If you launch the application, you can see white screen. And you can write lines on the screen by the mouse. When you finished writing, "demo.swf" will be generated to the desktop. In the swf, a square is moving along your line.

Code is here:

• http://swfassist.libspark.org/svn/as3/trunk/samples/demo20080116/

Demo2

• http://swfassist.libspark.org/svn/as3/trunk/samples/demo20080126/bin/SwfassistDemo.air

This is AIR application too. If you launch the application, you can see white screen. Please drop 500x375 JPEG images (Flickr Medium images) to the screen. Then, "slideshow.swf" will be generated to the desktop. In the swf, the images are displayed as slideshow style.

Code is here:

• http://swfassist.libspark.org/svn/as3/trunk/samples/demo20080126/

I enjoyed this conference because the conference is very deeply than my imagination.

By the way, Shibuya.abc (ABC = ActionScriptByteCode) seems to be holded...?

Today, I created a my English twitter account to practice English.

And I'm going to write entry in English as much as possible from today.
