I’m going on a bit of a Flex 4 kick this week so I decided to put out a few video tutorials on the new features of Flex 4 and FlashBuilder. Tonight’s video covers the changes to Flex 4 states.

How to click on stuff in Papervision3D – Viewport, ViewportLayers, InteractiveScene3DEvent, Mouse3D, and MovieMaterial Buttons

I’ve been super busy the past couple months and tomorrow I’m heading to Alaska to take a week-long vacation. I thought to myself, “this isn’t fair to my readers, I haven’t provided any quality original content on pv3d.org in a long time.” So, I took a couple hours tonight to answer pretty much every question on interacting with stuff in Papervision3D in the following five videos. That’s right, five videos explaining the ins and outs of working with interactivity events in Papervision3D. Just don’t say I never did anything nice for you

Peer-to-Peer in Flash Player 10 by Danny Patterson

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.

Download Source?

Many people ask me, “How do I use the source here?”

This video shows you exactly what to do:

So if you see a little “source” or “download source” link in any of my posts (which is actually most of them), it’s as easy as that video.

(Yes, this is the same video that has been in the FAQ for a long time. But many people seemed to have missed it, so I put it up here.)
