Search Widget – Robotlegs, Signals, Flight, Minimal Comps, Yahoo Astra

John Lindquist — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 07:25:08 +0000

Man, long time, no post. This video comes from a chat I was having with Renaun Erickson, Garth Braithwaite, and Jac Wright about the value of watching someone work towards a specific goal. So, this video isn’t really a tutorial, it’s more of me just building a search widget and talking about it as I go. [...]

This tutorial is for anyone who has heard about haXe, but never had the time to figure out how to set it up. If you guys show a lot of interest in learning more about haXe, I’ll put together a few more tutorials on some of the features, but as of right now I have [...]

AS3 Signals is an awesome open-source project created by Robert Penner that will make you re-think the way you approach events in all of your future projects.

TweenMax – Tweening a timeline (Advanced Tweening)

John Lindquist — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 22:38:00 +0000

It’s been a really busy week doing a lot of interactive motion work, so no time to work on my Theme Designer, but here’s a little trick I picked up this past week from Jack. Tweening a timeline allows you to create multiple tweens and then apply one ease to the whole group. Neat trick, [...]

Robotlegs + Flight + Union Platform

John Lindquist — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 15:18:54 +0000

So, I was distracted from finishing my FDT theme generator by a discussion on the Robotlegs mailing list suggesting the possibility of merging Robotlegs with Flight. It sounded like an interesting challenge, so the above chat room is my initial attempt at it. Go ahead and click the “Connect” button to try [...]

RobotLegs Hello World Video Tutorial

John Lindquist — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:14:48 +0000

Hey everyone. Long time, no see. I’ve just been super busy leading a team of flash guys on a big project which has left very little time for experiments and playing with code. Anyway, hopefully I’ll get back into my routine and get a few posts out a week again. This post comes courtesy of Joel [...]

10 Things Every Senior Flash Developer Should Know

John Lindquist — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 22:43:25 +0000

I’ve interviewed quite a few Flash/Flex developers as potential employees for Roundarch. The hard part for me is knowing exactly what questions to ask to be able to gauge a Flash dev’s skill level. So, I made a list. From my experience this list allows me to judge the skill level and experience of the devs [...]

John Lindquist — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 20:17:22 +0000

Danny Patterson presented on the new Flash Player 10 Peer-to-Peer capabilities at my last uFlash meeting. I recorded the meeting, so I thought I might as well share it here. Enjoy: https://admin.na3.acrobat.com/_a204547676/p85387367/ It’s almost an hour long, so grab some popcorn.
